Referral partner program

Your relationship. Our lender panel.

A documented co-pro model for accountants, financial planners, and adjacent professionals. Tax structuring and strategy stay with you. Lending stays with us. The client experiences a single relationship and two specialists, each operating inside their own licensing framework.

How this works

Most accountant–broker arrangements fail one of two ways: the broker over-steps into tax or strategy advice and erodes the partner relationship, or the broker bounces with no documented handoff and the partner goes back to whichever local broker has the loudest billboard. The model that works is a documented two-line handoff — partner identifies the borrowing question, the broker takes the file through to settlement, every tax or strategy question bounces back to the partner. The client retains the partner as the relationship. We provide the handoff template and disclosure framework at onboarding.
