Your referral link
This is your unique referral link and can be used while the program remains active. There are no caps on how much you can earn from the referral program.
A Referral Should Not Disappear Into a Black Box.
"Call my accountant" sounds simple until your client waits for a callback, sits through a discovery call and still does not know the price. You made the introduction. You still cannot see what happened next.
That gap is where referrals go cold. A client who was ready to move stalls out waiting on phone tag, and the credibility you lent them gets spent on a slow process you cannot control. Ashbridge gives the client a direct path from scope questions to a fixed price, so the introduction stays clear and useful.
Will Your Referral Actually Close?
That is the real question, and it is a fair one. Your name is on the introduction.
Here is why a referral to Ashbridge does not stall: your client sees their fixed price in a minute, and we prepare their year end and corporate return before money is discussed. By the time they decide, they are looking at their own refund or balance owing, not a proposal.
Your client never waits on a callback, never sits through a discovery call, and never wonders what it will cost. You can see the introduction resolve.
What's in It for You
A referral that resolves fast makes you look useful immediately, your name is attached to a clean, professional handoff instead of an open loop your client has to keep chasing. The client gets clarity without waiting on a callback, which reflects on the person who sent them there. And unlike a vague "give them a call," pointing a client to a fixed-price quote is a concrete handoff, you are not relying on a salesperson to follow up on your behalf before the client loses interest.
None of that depends on the client already knowing who Ashbridge is. The fixed-price quote flow is built to stand on its own, scope questions, then a price, then a decision, so your introduction does the work a discovery call used to do, in a minute.
We Send Work Back
Our clients are owner-managed corporations. They need shareholder agreements, employment advice, mortgages, insurance, valuations, wills and estate planning, and sometimes more bookkeeping than we take on. Those are your clients too.
Tell us what a good client looks like for you and we route them. This is not conditional on you sending anything first.
If a cash referral bonus is awkward for your firm, say so and we will pay it to your firm, to a charity of your choice, or apply it as a discount to your client instead.
If you are a bookkeeper, the bookkeeping stays with you, in writing. We take the corporate return only, and our year-end entries are on your desk within 5 business days of filing.
How the $400 Works
You receive $400 CAD per qualifying active-corporation corporate tax referral. Your client receives $100 off their first paid engagement when they arrive through your link. Nil and dormant returns, incorporation and personal tax returns are excluded unless Ashbridge confirms otherwise.
A referral may come through an Ashbridge referral link or by the client identifying you during the quote. If more than one person could be credited for the same referral, Ashbridge determines attribution using the available referral records and circumstances. Your client can also enter your name when they see their price; that credits you for the $400 once we confirm the referral, but the $100 discount is applied only through your link. Attribution is recorded at the quote, before anything is free.
How and When You Are Paid
- The $400 is paid once your referred client's payment to Ashbridge is final.
- It is not paid on a payment that is later refunded or disputed, and any refund to the client is net of referral amounts already paid.
- The $100 discount applies to quotes that include a corporate tax return or bookkeeping.
- Self-referrals are not eligible: a referral is not paid where the referrer and the client are the same person or business.
- Referral links do not expire.
Who This Is For
The program is built for professionals who regularly meet incorporated businesses that need tax and accounting work, and who would rather send a clean link than a vague "you should talk to my accountant."

Why Professionals Send Clients Here Instead of Somewhere Else
Most firms your client might otherwise call, see the full comparison, require a discovery call before disclosing a price. Ashbridge's flow combines AI-supported tax strategy, a fixed price without a preliminary call, and CPA review before anything is finalized. That combination makes Ashbridge a modern tax platform worth sending before a call: it does the qualifying and pricing work directly, and your client can read real experiences from other clients on the reviews page or learn more about the team on the about page before they ever talk to anyone.
Partner Referral Terms
- The standard referral bonus is $400 CAD per qualifying corporate tax client. Payable once per client.
- A qualifying referral must be for an active corporation requiring corporate tax services. Nil/dormant corporate returns, incorporations, personal tax returns, and other non-qualifying services are excluded unless Ashbridge agrees otherwise in writing.
- Higher referral bonuses may apply for larger corporate clients based on engagement size.
- A referral may be attributed through an Ashbridge referral link, referral code, or by the client identifying the referrer during the quote process. Ashbridge will determine referral attribution where there is incomplete, conflicting, duplicate, or disputed referral information.
- The referral bonus is earned once the referred client's payment to Ashbridge for the qualifying engagement is final.
- Referral bonuses are paid subject to verification of the referral and receipt of any information reasonably required to issue payment.
- There is no cap on the number of qualifying referrals a referrer may make.
- There is no fixed expiry window on an individual referral or referral relationship while the program remains active. Ashbridge may modify or discontinue the program for future referrals under the program terms.
- Referral bonuses apply only to new clients referred to Ashbridge. A referral bonus is not payable where the client was already an Ashbridge client, was already actively engaged with Ashbridge, or had already been introduced to Ashbridge through another source before the referral.
- Self-referrals are not eligible. Ashbridge may decline referral payments involving duplicate referrals, artificial arrangements, related-party abuse, false information, or other activity that Ashbridge reasonably determines is inconsistent with the purpose of the program.
- If more than one person claims the same referral, Ashbridge will determine the applicable referrer based on the available referral records and circumstances.
- A referred client who arrives through a referrer's link receives a one-time $100 discount on their first paid engagement. A client who names the referrer at the quote without using the link credits the referrer for the $400 once the referral is confirmed, but does not receive the $100 discount. The referrer's $400 bonus does not otherwise reduce or change the client's fees, pricing, service terms, or engagement obligations.
- Referrers are not employees, agents, representatives, partners, or authorized salespeople of Ashbridge and may not make commitments, guarantees, tax representations, pricing promises, or other statements on Ashbridge's behalf.
- Participation in the referral program does not authorize a referrer to provide tax or accounting advice on behalf of Ashbridge or to represent that Ashbridge has accepted a prospective client before Ashbridge completes its normal onboarding and engagement process.
- Ashbridge may contact the referrer to verify identity, referral details, and payment information before issuing a referral bonus.
- Referral payments may be subject to any applicable tax reporting or documentation requirements.
- Ashbridge may modify, suspend, or discontinue the referral program or change future referral-bonus amounts or eligibility rules at any time. Changes will not reduce a referral bonus already earned under the terms applicable to that qualifying referral.
- Ashbridge may make exceptions or offer enhanced referral arrangements at its discretion, including higher referral bonuses for larger corporate clients.
