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.

Cover page + all footnotes

Cross-check

Three-method reconciliation

Cost, Market, and Income approaches run on the same inputs. When methods agree the figure is documented as corroborated; when they diverge, the variance is surfaced.

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 does Stripe Connect work?

You connect a Stripe Express account during onboarding (5 minutes). When a client pays for a report, the platform splits the transaction and pays your revshare directly to your bank account. You never invoice us — Stripe handles the disbursement automatically.

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.
