Five Margin Leaks in a 30-Account Agency

We audited a real agency book. Here's where the money was actually going.

The five leaks

1. A2P pass-through priced at cost. 2. Voice minutes uncapped on the lowest tier. 3. Third-party SaaS the client doesn't use anymore. 4. Support tax (the founder still answering tickets at 11pm). 5. Onboarding underpriced relative to actual hours.

Plug all five and a 30-account agency adds ~$9.8K/mo to the bottom line, before any new sales.
