Earn while your clients
stay ahead of ESG.
ESG reporting obligations are reaching UK SMEs faster than most realise. Introduce your clients to SolvingESG and earn a sign-up commission plus ongoing renewal income — for as long as they remain subscribed.
No cost to join. No conflict of interest with your advisory work. Commission rates disclosed to registered partners.
A partner programme built for the long term
The SolvingESG partner programme is designed to reward ongoing relationships, not just one-off introductions. Commission rates are disclosed to registered partners — register below to receive your rate card.
Sign-up commission
A competitive percentage of the first year's subscription value, paid on every confirmed new subscriber you refer — regardless of which plan they choose.
Enduring renewal share
A reduced but ongoing commission on every annual renewal. A client you refer today continues to generate passive income for your firm for years to come.
Upgrade bonus
If a client you referred upgrades their plan within 18 months, you receive an additional one-off commission on the uplift — on top of your ongoing renewal share.
Global consistency
The same commission structure applies across all SolvingESG platforms worldwide. Clients with multi-country operations count wherever they subscribe.
White label option
Established practices can explore a white-label arrangement — the platform branded under your firm's identity, with a tailored revenue share agreement.
No cost to join
There is no fee to become a partner. Register your interest, receive your rate card, and start referring — the programme is open to all qualifying accounting firms.

Why accounting firms partner with us
Better-prepared clients mean more efficient advisory work and stronger relationships — without taking on any of the operational ESG burden yourself.
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 advisor 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.
How a referral works
There is no complex process. You introduce us, we handle the onboarding, and your commission is recorded automatically.
Register your interest
Fill in the form below. We will respond within one working day with your personalised partner rate card and a brief introduction call.
Introduce SolvingESG to a client
When ESG data requests or reporting obligations come up in a client conversation, share your unique referral link or introduce us directly.
Client subscribes
We handle the onboarding. Once the subscription is confirmed, your commission is calculated and recorded automatically.
Earn on every renewal
Your commission does not stop at year one. You receive a reduced but enduring share of every renewal for as long as the client remains subscribed.
The regulatory window is closing
The EU's CSRD is already requiring large EU companies to collect ESG data from their entire supply chain — including UK suppliers. The UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards are following a similar path. TCFD is mandatory for large UK companies, and California's SB 253 is reaching US-linked supply chains.
Most UK SMEs are not yet aware of how quickly these obligations will reach them. The accounting firms that introduce clients to structured ESG data collection now will be the ones those clients call first when the reporting deadlines arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Does SolvingESG replace any accounting functions?
No. SolvingESG handles data collection, supplier management, and framework readiness — the operational side of ESG compliance. Financial materiality assessment, audit sign-off, sustainability report assurance, and the integration of ESG data into statutory accounts all remain with your firm.
Why are commission rates not shown on this page?
We keep commission rates out of the public domain to protect the commercial interests of our partner firms and to allow us to discuss arrangements appropriate to each practice. Once you register your interest, we will send you the full rate card within one working day.
What regulations are driving the need for this?
The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires large EU companies to report on their entire supply chain, including UK suppliers. The UK Sustainability Disclosure Standards (UK SDS) are expected to follow a similar path. TCFD is already mandatory for large UK companies, and California's SB 253 affects US-linked supply chains. Most UK SMEs are not yet aware of how quickly these obligations will reach them.
How does the upgrade bonus work?
If a client you referred subscribes to the Essential plan and then upgrades to Professional or Custom within 18 months, you receive a one-off commission on the difference in subscription value — in addition to your ongoing renewal share on the higher plan.
What is the white label option?
Larger or specialist practices can explore having the platform presented under their own branding. This is discussed on a case-by-case basis after initial registration. It involves a tailored commercial arrangement rather than the standard referral commission.
What size of client is SolvingESG suited to?
SolvingESG is designed for UK SMEs — typically businesses with 10 to 500 employees that are beginning to face ESG data requests from larger customers or preparing for regulatory compliance. It is not aimed at large enterprises with dedicated sustainability teams.
