The problem

The way it works today

You put client ad spend on your card, then rebill it later. In the meantime, it makes your revenue look bigger than it is, muddles your profit, and quietly ties up your cash. Worse, the ad platforms charge you at odd times. Meta, for example, bills on thresholds, so one busy client can trigger eight to twelve charges in a month.
