Onboard clients and manage delivery with ClickUp, Asana, Trello, monday.com and Notion, write SOPs and quality checks, and hire and manage freelancers responsibly. Use ChatGPT, Claude, no-code automation and AI agents with care for client data. Retain clients, manage retainers, and understand agency finances, cash flow, TDS and profitability with a CA.
