The problem

You do brilliant work. Then you fight to get paid for it.

Hours delivered and never billed. Scope that quietly creeps until a profitable project loses money. Invoices that sit for 60 to 90 days while payroll, taxes, and vendors do not wait. Busy but broke. Profitable on paper, poor in the bank.

Where the money goes

Seven places agency margin quietly disappears.

If more than one of these is familiar, this is the problem we built Aerca to solve, and exactly how it solves each one.

01
Scope creep you never bill for

Free revisions and small extras accumulate as a project runs, and the time rarely makes it onto an invoice.

Aerca flags it at 90% of budget, with the dollars at stake.
02
Extra work delivered, never invoiced

Out-of-scope hours get absorbed because no one has the time to raise the change order.

Aerca drafts the change order for one-tap approval.
03
Payments that stall for months

Invoices sit at 60, 75, even 90 days while your own costs continue on schedule.

Aerca runs relationship-safe follow-ups for you.
04
Profit on paper, pressure in the bank

Strong margins on the P&L rarely tell you what is genuinely safe to spend this month.

Aerca shows the cash that is truly safe to spend.
05
One late client, and payroll is at risk

Without a forecast and a fallback ready, a single delayed payment becomes an emergency.

Aerca builds the fallback plan weeks ahead.
06
An anchor client who quietly costs the most

The account that looks like your best can consume far more than it pays across the full relationship.

Aerca reveals your true margin per client.
07
The financial conversations that get delayed

Raising a rate, chasing a balance, or flagging a risk gets postponed until it costs you.

Aerca becomes the system you point to, not you.
Aerca
One system monitoring all seven, continuously.

It identifies the leak before the invoice, recovers what is owed, and maintains a live view of the cash you can actually use.

See how it works, below.
Why now

Three shifts make this the moment.

Each was missing until recently. Together, they open a category.

01 / The technology

AI can finally read the work

Modern AI can interpret scope changes, disputes, and the nuance of a client relationship as they happen. The rule-based tools that came before it never could.

02 / The market

Agencies run without a safety net

More service firms than ever operate with lean teams, no finance function of their own, and clients who stretch payment terms to 60 and 90 days.

03 / The opening

Everyone else starts too late

Every existing tool activates after the invoice is sent. The largest and most preventable losses happen earlier, inside the work. That ground is open.

What you will see

Not a dashboard you check. A co-pilot that speaks up.

Most finance software is a rear-view mirror, showing what already happened. Aerca looks through the windshield. It runs continuously across the tools you already use, protects your margin as the work happens, recovers what you are owed, forecasts your true cash, and gets sharper with every project. These are the kinds of moments it catches.

Examples of what Aerca surfaces
Margin

Lumen Health has exceeded its budgeted hours. $1,500 of delivered work is currently unbilled. Recommend raising a change order before the project closes.

Concentration

Atlas Retail reads as a top account, yet its true margin across the full relationship is negative. Recommend reviewing the engagement terms.

Cash

This new project is not projected to be cash-positive until day 75. Here is its impact on next month's payroll obligations.

How it works

Prevent. Recover. Bridge.

One continuous defense of your money. Because Aerca owns the first move, it is stronger on the next two than any tool that starts later.

Prevent
01
Protect the margin

Aerca tracks the work against the scope you agreed and surfaces the leak before the invoice, while you still have the leverage to bill for it.

Recover
02
Collect the cash

Context-aware, relationship-safe follow-ups recover what you are owed, so the system carries the awkward part instead of you.

Bridge
03
Close the gap

When cash is genuinely tight, Aerca can advance funds against invoices it already trusts, underwritten on the full relationship between work and cash.

Coming after launch
What Aerca does

The full finance function, as one connected system.

Six operations that normally take several hires, running together around the clock.

01
Catch free work before you invoice

The moment a project crosses its budget, Aerca flags the unbilled hours and the exact dollars at stake, while you still have the leverage to bill.

02
Bill the overage in one tap

Aerca drafts the change order and the client message in your voice. Charging for the extra work becomes a single approval, not a dreaded task.

03
Chase late payers without being the villain

Relationship-safe follow-ups go out under the system's name, adapt their tone to each client, and resolve missing POs on their own.

04
See what is actually safe to spend

A live 13-week forecast separates what is booked, invoiced, collectible, received, and genuinely usable, so you never confuse owed with usable.

05
Know payroll is safe, weeks ahead

Aerca spots the cash trough early and has the fallback plan ready, with the exact steps, before you ever feel the squeeze.

06
Answer "can we afford this?" with a number

Stress-test the next hire or project against real cash under multiple payment outcomes, so growth is a decision, not a gamble.

Why we are different

We start where the money is first at risk, upstream of the invoice.

Everyone else waits for the invoice. By then, the margin is already gone.

Invoice-only tools

They start too late

  • Activate only after the invoice is sent
  • Chase money you have already billed
  • Blind to the work behind the number
  • One function, and you stitch the rest together
Aerca

We start at the source

  • Protects value you would never have billed at all
  • Recovers with the full context of the work
  • Forecasts the cash you can actually use
  • Runs continuously and gets sharper every cycle
Who we are

We close the gap between the work you deliver and the cash you keep.

Agencies create real value, then lose a share of it to work that is never billed and cash that arrives too late to use. Aerca is the system built to close that gap.

The team
A focused, independent team

We have spent months mapping precisely where agency money leaks, and we are turning that work into software.

Our goal
Institutional financial control, for agencies

Give a small agency the financial command a large company gets from a full finance function.

How we solve it
Prevent, recover, and forecast as one

Catch the leak before the invoice, recover what is owed, and keep an accurate read on the cash you can use.

Aerca is in its founding chapter, and that is exactly the point. We are opening just 60 seats to agencies who want to shape the product, lock pricing no one else will ever get, and be the first names we build around. Early is the advantage here, not the risk.

Built on trust

Trusted with your money, by design.

Three commitments we hold from the very first connection.

Security
Encrypted, read-only access

Aerca connects through read-only, OAuth-secured integrations, protected with 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest. We never store your login credentials, modify your records, or move funds.

Control
You approve every action

Every client message and payment is prepared for your review and sent only on your explicit approval. Aerca runs on least-privilege access and keeps a complete, exportable audit trail of everything it does.

Privacy
Your data stays yours

Your data is isolated to your account, never sold or shared, and never used to train third-party models. We are building to SOC 2 standards from day one.

The opportunity
$50k–$100k

is what an average agency loses every year to unbilled work and cash that arrives too late to use. Aerca exists to win it back, before it ever leaves the building.

Questions

Before you join.

Aerca is in active development, launching in 2026. Joining now secures your founding seat, locks your rate for life, and gives you a direct hand in what we build first. The earliest agencies carry the most influence and the deepest discount.
There are 60 founding seats. Every founder receives 75% off for the first 18 months, then 50% off for life thereafter. The first ten agencies receive 90% off for life from day one - this replaces the standard 75% tier rather than stacking on top of it. One founder, drawn from the cohort, receives lifetime access at no cost.
Never. Aerca drafts and prepares every client-facing action, then waits for your approval before anything is sent. In a business where one client can be half your revenue, the judgment that defines a relationship always stays with you.
Aerca connects through read-only access secured with bank-grade encryption. We never modify your records, and nothing leaves the system without your explicit approval.
Nothing. Joining the founding cohort is free and takes about 40 seconds. You lock your founding discount, get the free Cash-Flow Teardown, and there is no card required until we launch.
At launch: QuickBooks and Xero for accounting, alongside Harvest, Toggl, and leading project tools for the operational side. Connecting the work to the ledger is what lets Aerca surface margin leaks before an invoice ever exists.
Of course. Book a 15-minute video call and ask us anything. There is no pitch, simply an honest conversation about whether Aerca is a fit for your agency.
