Peak season chaos?
EROs face intense volume and strict timelines. Manual referral tracking only makes it harder.
No single source of truth for referrals
40%
of referrals lost to poor tracking
Referrals come in from everywhere—email, calls, walk-ins, social media. Without centralized tracking, credits get lost and preparers blame each other.
Credit disputes kill morale
3+
hours weekly resolving disputes
Multiple preparers touch a client. Without clear attribution rules and timestamps, disputes slow everything down and top performers get frustrated.
Payout delays cause preparer churn
45%
of preparer turnover linked to pay issues
When preparers wait weeks or months for their referral earnings, they lose motivation—or worse, leave for a competitor who pays faster.
Can't identify your top performers
0

Questions? We've got answers.
Yes. You can organize preparers into teams or offices, each with their own dashboards and performance tracking. Roll-up reporting gives you the full picture across all locations.
Absolutely. Set your payout cadence—weekly, bi-weekly, monthly—and run batched direct deposit payouts with approval workflows. Many EROs switch to weekly during January-April when referral volume is highest.
Preparers see their own dashboard: referrals, conversion status, earnings, and payout history. Managers see team roll-ups. Owners see everything—full visibility with role-based access control.
Tag every landing page, QR code, and referral link with UTM parameters. Know exactly which marketing spend works—whether it's church bulletin ads, community event flyers, or social media campaigns.
Your Scale plan includes hotel vouchers, restaurant experiences, and vacation getaways. Send unlimited rewards to clients who refer—no gift card inventory, no cash handling, no additional cost.
GoRefer.io tracks the original referral source with timestamps. When disputes arise, you have clear documentation of who submitted the referral first. No more 'he said, she said' arguments.
Our Scale and Enterprise plans include API access and Zapier integration. Connect GoRefer.io with your CRM, accounting software, or tax preparation platform for seamless workflows.
We never cut off your referrals mid-season. If you consistently exceed limits, we'll reach out about upgrading. No surprise charges, no lost referrals—just a conversation about what fits best.
