HOW IT WORKS

Bring it together.
Three connected steps.

Start with your records and rules. Add assisted review and repeatable workflows, then connect recognition to the work your people do.

01

Import & organize

Import clients and preparers from CSV or Excel. Set up your firm profile, commission rules and bonus settings. AutoFill (Beta) helps with data entry into supported tax software from approved intake data; the preparer reviews, verifies and submits.

02

Review & coordinate

Gio reads documents and helps draft reviews and notice responses for your team to check. On Scale and Enterprise, FlowBuilder connects events to emails, field updates and tasks through the rules your firm chooses.

03

Approve & recognize

Calculate commissions from your rules, review earnings and prepare payout runs for your payroll or bank. Scale adds progressive tiers and batch processing. Configure competitions and rewards around the goals your firm sets.

AUTOFILL · BETA

See AutoFill at work.

See how AutoFill helps with data entry: it enters a client's reviewed intake into supported forms and hands over any field that needs a preparer's judgment. The preparer then reviews and verifies every field, and signs and submits the return. Shown with sample client data.

Gio Sites

Pages where referrals arrive, drafted by Gio.

Describe the page you need and Gio drafts it from your firm’s details. Edit it, clear the advertising check and publish it at its own address. A submission from an email new to your firm becomes a lead in your CRM, credited to the referrer when the visitor came through a referral link.

  • Drafted from your firm’s details, never invented reviews

  • An advertising check before anything goes live

  • Included on every plan

Pages per plan: Growth 2, Scale 5, Enterprise 15. Drafts count toward the total.

Say what the page is for, pick a goal, a tone and a language, and paste reviews if you have them.

  1. Describe the page. Say what the page is for, pick a goal, a tone and a language, and paste reviews if you have them.
  2. Gio drafts each section. The outline comes first, then each section as it is written. It is saved as a draft.
  3. A claim is flagged. The advertising check holds publishing on a must-fix phrase, such as a guaranteed refund.
  4. A lead arrives. The page is live at its own address. A new email from a referred visitor becomes a lead, credited to the referrer.
BETA

From intake to your tax software. With you in control.

GoRefer AutoFill works with supported professional tax software. It brings intake you have reviewed into supported fields, so nobody retypes it.

AutoFill is in beta. It helps with data entry, entering intake you have reviewed into supported fields in your tax software. You, the preparer, are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying every entry and for signing and submitting the return.

TRY THE RULES

Commissions that add up
like tax brackets.

With progressive tiers, each rate applies only to the slice of revenue inside its bracket. Move the slider to see a sample calculation. Standard commissions are available on every plan; progressive tiers start on Scale.

Revenue from referred clients this month

$5,000

$0$20,000

Commission owed

Example rules and sample figures. Your firm sets its own rates and brackets, and GoRefer calculates commission records from them.

At $5,000 of referred revenue, the sample progressive tiers give $450.00 in commission.

Rewards & recognition

Make recognition
part of the process.

Bring your reward catalog, referral milestones and redemptions into one workspace. Your firm chooses what to offer and how to fulfill it. Catalog items, value and availability depend on your configuration.

Library access is included in every plan. Plan tiers determine access to the platform rewards shelf; your firm manages its own catalog alongside it.

See Plan Tiers

A clear reward workflow

  1. Build your catalog

    Choose rewards your firm can fulfill. Set the client value, your cost, available stock and delivery details.

  2. Review the redemption

    Check availability when a request is made. Use your firm's configured approval rules to review it.

  3. Record fulfillment

    Keep the reward, recipient and fulfillment status together. Inventory updates when fulfillment is recorded.

Gift cards & merchandise

Items, quantities and delivery details configured by your firm.

Experience & travel certificates

Certificates with their own terms, costs and availability.

Donations & service credits

Firm-provided recognition with a recorded redemption.

Your firm’s growth. All connected.

A few things to know

Your questions,
answered.

Get clear on trials, pricing, payouts and setting up your firm.

The 7-day free trial gives you the Scale feature set. Enterprise-only features are not included. A card is required to start the trial, and nothing is charged that day. When the trial ends, the plan you chose begins and is billed to that card, with its one-time setup fee, unless you cancel before then. Your card is held by Stripe, our payment processor; GoRefer never stores card details.

GoRefer calculates commissions and bonuses from your rules and prepares a payout run with export files for your payroll or bank. You review and approve the run, pay your preparers through your own payroll or bank, then mark it paid. GoRefer doesn't pay your preparers; your firm does. Standard commissions and payout runs are included on every plan; Scale and Enterprise add progressive tiers, preparer overrides and batch payout runs.

Growth: $149/month or $1,430/year, plus $199 one-time setup; 5 seats, 100 referrals/month, 200 GIO credits/month and 100 MB storage. Scale: $279/month or $2,678/year, plus $499 one-time setup; 12 seats, 500 referrals/month, 650 GIO credits/month and 500 MB storage. Enterprise: $599/month or $5,750/year, plus $799 one-time setup; 30 seats, 2,000 referrals/month, 1,750 GIO credits/month and 2 GB storage. Scale adds progressive commissions, workflows and ConnectHub integrations. Enterprise adds FirmIQ intelligence and white-label features. See Pricing for current prices and limits.

Yes. Clients have a portal for referral links, referral activity and available rewards. Landing pages built in Gio Sites help collect introductions and credit the client who shared the link. Reward access and sweepstakes follow your firm's configuration and plan limits.

Client ranks progress from Explorer to Navigator, Captain and Admiral by referral count. Preparers can participate in competitions and challenges using the configured metrics and rewards. Competition, challenge and sweepstakes allowances depend on plan.

Guided onboarding helps you configure your firm, invite a team and import data. Review compensation, permissions and branding before going live. Setup time depends on your data and configuration; training and support resources are available.

You can import users and practice records from CSV or Excel files. Check the field mapping and any validation messages before you save. Scale+ ConnectHub connections create QuickBooks customers, export clients to Google Sheets and create Google Calendar events; they are not two-way data synchronization.

Plans offer monthly or annual billing. Free trial: 7 days. Cancel before it ends and you aren't charged. 30-day money-back guarantee on your first subscription payment, monthly or annual. Annual plans: a full refund if you cancel within 30 days of an annual charge, including a renewal. Monthly plans have no contract. After your first payment's 30 days, you can cancel anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the month you paid for, and partial months aren't refunded. Setup and onboarding fees are non-refundable. Services already used are non-refundable: texts, calls, phone numbers and Gio credits already spent. Gio credit packs (firm or personal): unspent credits are refundable within 30 days of purchase, and a refund removes them. Purchased credits expire 60 days after purchase. Unused phone and text balance is refunded on request when your firm closes its account.
