The Problem

Reasonable comp eats CPA hours every Q1.

Time cost

Hand-modeling is expensive

A single reasonable-comp engagement means manual BLS OEWS lookups, role-mapping, percentile selection, and narrative drafting: two to four hours per client, every year, with no reuse.

Brand equity

Branded reports that carry someone else's logo

Off-the-shelf report tools stamp their own mark on the cover page and methodology footnotes. Every delivered report is an advertisement for a third-party platform, not your firm.

Methodology ownership

Methodology questions land on you

When a client asks why a number was chosen (which percentile, which SOC code, which framework), the burden falls on your staff whether or not you generated the analysis.

The Solution

Your firm's report. Our methodology engine. Their court-defensible answer.

Four levers that let your firm deliver premium reasonable-comp engagements without rebuilding the methodology infrastructure from scratch.

Brand

White-label PDFs

Every report carries your firm name, your logo, your CPA license number, and your color palette. The methodology attribution is yours.

Economics

Flat firm pricing

One predictable subscription for your firm. No seat licenses, no per-user fees, and never a cut of your client fee. Your engagement economics stay entirely yours.

Flat subscription, no fee split

Your engagement

You bill your client

You set your own fee and bill your client directly under your own engagement. WageDefender is a tool you license; it never sits between you and your client and never shares in your fee.

Your pricing, your client

Data freshness

Refresh-on-data-update

When BLS OEWS data refreshes or a new ECI quarterly is released, client reports can be rerun at marginal cost. Offer a data-currency guarantee your competitors can't match.

How It Works

Three steps to your first delivered report.

Onboard your firm

A 5-minute firm profile. Upload your logo, provide your brand colors and CPA license number. Your firm profile is active immediately.

Run your first intake

A 90-second intake form covers role, business type, compensation history, and governance factors. The report generates in under two minutes. No spreadsheets.

Deliver under your firm's brand

The PDF carries your logo and CPA license number on every page. Your client sees your firm, not a third-party platform. Deliver via email or portal.

Generating reports requires a verified credential: a PTIN, a CPA license, or a bar number. You confirm yours during setup.

On the roadmap for higher-volume firms: custom-domain hosting (roadmap) and API access (roadmap).

FAQ

Common firm-onboarding questions.

What does white-label include?

Your firm logo, brand colors, CPA license number, and email-sender identity. Every page of the delivered PDF (cover, methodology section, and footnotes) carries your firm name only. The platform name does not appear in the client-facing output.

How do I bill my client?

You bill your client directly under your own engagement, at whatever fee you set. WageDefender is a flat-rate tool your firm subscribes to. We never take a percentage of your fee and never sit between you and your client; the engagement and the billing are entirely yours.

Can my firm host this on our own domain?

Every report and client-facing surface carries your firm's brand (your name, logo, colors, and CPA license) regardless of the URL it's served from. Branded subdomains and custom-domain hosting are planned; talk to us during onboarding about where this sits on the roadmap for your firm.

What about the data: who owns it?

Your firm owns your client data. The platform processes it only to generate the report and stores it only as long as required to support refreshes. We do not use your client data to train models or share it across firms.

What is the refund policy for firm subscriptions?

30-day no-questions pilot on your first billing period. If WageDefender doesn't fit your workflow, cancel within 30 days and owe nothing. After the pilot period, contact support for case-by-case review.

Can we integrate via API?

A programmatic integration for intake submission and PDF retrieval is on our roadmap for higher-volume firms. It is not generally available yet; if API access is important to your workflow, tell us during onboarding so we can scope it with you.
