Performance Partners Finds the Right Financial Partner to Scale

Company Overview

Performance Partners is a global affiliate marketing agency helping 8- and 9-figure eCommerce brands build and scale high-performing affiliate programs. Founded by Fred Jean-Bart, the agency combines deep expertise from every side of the ecosystem - brand, network, and publisher.

Performance Partners has grown quickly by combining operational efficiency with global reach.

The Challenge
As Performance Partners scaled, Fred realized that traditional bookkeeping was no longer enough. He wanted deeper insight into profitability, cash flow, and client-level performance - something that his prior provider simply would not deliver.

“If you don't know your numbers, you're not doing a good job.”

At the same time, Frederic needed a partner who could act as a strategic financial partner, not just a bookkeeper.

“It was the controllership aspect of your services that really attracted me to working with Scalability.”

The Solution
When Fred partnered with Scalability, the goal was clear: build a finance function that could think like a CFO while handling all the in-the-weeds bookkeeping work required to keep things running smoothly.

From onboarding to setting up helpful tools and automations, Scalability’s approach emphasized both speed and strategic insight.

“Onboarding was pretty seamless. I would say your team just took over. And what I loved about it is I didn't have to teach you how to use anything. You just figured it out or had the experience already using it.”

Over the initial weeks and months, the Scalability team:

✅ Integrated directly into Performance Partners’ existing financial systems
✅ Automated real-time Stripe-to-QuickBooks revenue tracking
✅ Delivered weekly reports and profitability insights
✅ Acted as a controller, helping build out cash flow models and forecasts

“Scalability added an integration so at any point, my revenue numbers in QuickBooks are up to date - which is huge and a game changer.”

The Results
With Scalability’s support, Performance Partners gained clarity, control, and confidence in its financial operations.

“Knowing my margins based on each client was something that was very eye opening.”

Scalability also introduced true data-driven decision-making by enabling client-level and revenue-stream-level analysis.

“Knowing what your margins are per client, knowing now my LTV per client… I can look and say, okay, I made X amount of money here, X amount of money here. just having another set of eyes, I think has been very beneficial and valuable for me and the team.”

Final Thoughts
For Fred, Scalability was the bridge between bookkeeping and true financial leadership.

“When I made the leap, you can tell the difference in terms of the quality of work - it’s night and day. I love working with your team.”
