Free access. Commission
for the long term.
Every registered partner — accountant, business adviser, ESG consultant, or corporate finance adviser — receives full Professional tier access at no cost. Commission is earned on client referrals and continues at renewal for the duration of each client's participation.
No partner fee. No minimum commitment. Commission paid quarterly on subscription fees received. Full rate card provided on registration.
Who the programme is for
The partner programme is open to any accountant, business adviser, or professional services firm that advises SME clients on compliance, strategy, or sustainability — in the UK or internationally.
Accountants & CA firms
Chartered accountants, CPAs, and accounting practices advising SME clients on compliance, tax, and financial reporting. ESG compliance is an adjacent and growing part of the advisory relationship.
Business advisers & consultants
Management consultants, business advisory practices, and growth advisers working with SME and mid-market clients. ESG readiness is increasingly relevant to strategic planning, investment, and supply chain positioning.
ESG & sustainability advisers
Specialist ESG consultancies and sustainability advisory practices. SolvingESG provides the operational platform that supports and extends your advisory engagement — data collection, supplier management, and framework readiness.
Corporate finance & M&A advisers
ESG due diligence is now standard in transactions involving SMEs. Corporate finance advisers and M&A boutiques working with PE-backed businesses can introduce the platform as part of pre-deal or post-deal compliance preparation.
International networks & affiliations
Firms with offices or network affiliations in multiple countries can introduce local advisers and CA firms to the relevant jurisdiction-specific platform, earning cross-border introduction commission for the duration of that relationship.
What the programme offers
A no-cost entry, commission-based arrangement designed to benefit both the adviser and their clients — with enduring renewal income and international reach.
Free Professional access
Every registered partner receives full Professional tier access at no cost — the complete platform, your own login, ready to demonstrate to clients from day one.
Commission on referrals
Commission is earned on client subscriptions you introduce, rising with volume. Renewal commission continues for the duration of each client's participation. Full details in the partner rate card.
Client retention
A client whose ESG compliance runs through a platform their adviser introduced is a client who stays. The platform embeds your firm in the client relationship.
International reach
The same partner programme applies across all SolvingESG platforms worldwide. Introduce overseas firms to their local jurisdiction platform and earn cross-border introduction commission.
Professional standards
The programme is structured to support compliance with ICAEW, ACCA, and ICAS disclosure requirements. Where a firm introduces a client and may receive a commission, that arrangement should be disclosed in accordance with the firm's professional obligations.
New billable work
Every compliance alert, annual review, and remediation gap the platform surfaces is a structured engagement for your firm. The platform identifies the work; your firm delivers the advice.
Annual volume bonus for high-performing partners
Firms that actively drive client adoption may qualify for an annual volume bonus, assessed at year-end. Details are provided on registration — the structure is currently under consideration and will be agreed individually with qualifying partners.

Introduce SolvingESG to a client

Client subscribes — commission begins
We handle the onboarding. Commission is earned on client subscriptions from your fifth referred client onwards, rising with the volume of clients you introduce. Full commission details are provided in the partner rate card.
Ongoing renewal income
Commission continues at renewal for the duration of each client's participation. The full renewal commission schedule is set out in the partner rate card, available on registration.
Full commission details in the partner rate card
The partner rate card covers all seven subscription tiers — from Essentials through to Enterprise — and sets out the full commission schedule: tiered rates by referral volume, renewal commission terms, the cross-border introduction commission for international networks, and the annual volume bonus arrangement for high-performing partners. It is provided to all registered partners on the working day following registration.

Why your clients need this now
ESG compliance obligations are arriving faster than most SMEs realise. Advisers who introduce the platform early are better positioned to support clients through the transition.
Clients arrive prepared
Your clients use SolvingESG to gather, organise, and evidence their ESG data before they sit down with you. Less time chasing documents — more time on high-value advisory work.
Audit-ready evidence packs
Every supplier assessment, certificate, and policy document is stored in a structured vault with expiry tracking. When it is time to sign off a sustainability report, the evidence is already there.
Structured data, not spreadsheets
Carbon footprint calculations, compliance scores, and framework responses are stored in a consistent format — not scattered across email threads and ad-hoc spreadsheets.
A growing client need
CSRD, UK SDS, TCFD, and California SB 253 are creating mandatory ESG reporting obligations for thousands of UK SMEs. Clients who do not prepare now will need urgent help later.
Strengthen client relationships
Introducing clients to SolvingESG positions you as a forward-thinking adviser who understands the regulatory landscape — before they find out about it from a buyer or regulator.
No conflict of interest
SolvingESG handles data collection, framework readiness, and supplier management. Financial materiality, audit sign-off, and sustainability report assurance remain firmly in your domain.
