How It Works

From introduction to referral fee in five steps

Our channel partner program is built to be simple for you and respectful of the relationships you have spent years building.

01

Apply in two minutes

Tell us about yourself and your clients. Your partner portal opens right away, and we email you a short partner questionnaire.

02

Get approved and onboarded

We review your questionnaire. Once you are approved, we email your Welcome Packet, your Channel Partner Agreement and a W-9. Sign the agreement and upload the W-9 in your partner portal.

03

Register your referrals

Add each referral in your portal before we speak with them, or have them name you when they contact us. We reach out within one business day.

04

We take great care of them

Every engagement starts with a free consultation and a clear engagement letter. You see each referral's progress in your portal.

05

You earn 10% for 12 months

When your referral becomes a client, you earn 10% of the fees we charge them for their first 12 months, paid monthly after we are paid.

What You Earn

A referral fee that grows with the relationship

You earn on every eligible engagement a referred client starts with us during their first 12 months, not just the first one. A business owner who comes to us for a tax return and then adds bookkeeping and a valuation earns you a referral fee on all three.

  • 10% of the fees we charge each referred client
  • For the client's first 12 months with Vector
  • Paid monthly, within 30 days after the month we are paid
  • No cost to join, no minimums and no exclusivity
  • Your client never pays more because you referred them

Example: one referred business owner

Business tax return$3,500
Monthly bookkeeping (12 months)$6,000
Business valuation$7,500
Fees in the first 12 months$17,000
Your referral fees (10%)$1,700

Illustration only. Actual fees depend on each engagement, and the full calculation is set out in the Channel Partner Agreement.

Questions

Channel partner program FAQ

What is the Vector Channel Partner Program?

It is a referral program for professionals who work with individuals and businesses that need a CPA firm. When someone you refer becomes a Vector client, you earn 10% of the fees we charge them during their first 12 months as a client.

Who can become a channel partner?

Attorneys, financial advisors and wealth managers, bankers and lenders, insurance professionals, business brokers, real estate professionals, consultants, fractional executives, crypto and fintech professionals, and business owners with a strong network. Every applicant is reviewed and approved by our team.

How much can I earn, and for how long?

You earn 10% of the fees we charge each client you refer, for that client's first 12 months with us. If a client you refer pays us for tax preparation, bookkeeping and a business valuation in their first year, you earn on all of it. The full terms are in the Channel Partner Agreement you sign when you join.

Which engagements are eligible?

Every engagement type is eligible except Vector Growth. That includes tax preparation and compliance, tax planning, management consulting, M&A advisory, business valuation, litigation support and expert witness work, bookkeeping and payroll, corporate partnership sourcing, and cryptocurrency and digital asset advisory.

Is Vector Growth part of the program?

No. The Channel Partner Program does not extend to Vector Growth, our commission-based B2B lead generation service. Every other engagement type is eligible.

When and how am I paid?

Referral fees are paid monthly, within 30 days after the end of the month in which we collect payment from your referred client, by ACH or check. We need a completed Form W-9 before your first payment, and we send a Form 1099-NEC when one is required.

Do my referrals pay more because I referred them?

No. Your referral fee comes out of our fee; it never increases what your client pays. As professional standards require, we tell referred clients in their engagement letter that we pay a referral fee.

How do referrals get credited to me?

Register each referral in your partner portal before we speak with them, or have them name you when they contact us through our website. A referral is credited when the person is not already a Vector client or in active discussions with us, and it becomes a client within 12 months of being registered.

Can I track my referrals and earnings?

Yes. Your partner portal shows every referral you register, its progress, the fees you have earned and every payment we make to you.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. There is no fee to join, no minimum number of referrals and no exclusivity. You can leave the program at any time.

What if my profession limits referral fees?

Some professions restrict accepting referral fees. You are responsible for following the rules that apply to you. If you cannot accept fees, you can still join and refer clients while waiving your referral fees.
