Footing
Referral Partner Program Become a partner
For Accountants, Bookkeepers & Fractional CFOs

When your client outgrows QuickBooks,
be the one with the answer.

Footing gets your clients onto Microsoft Business Central — properly configured, live in days, for a flat fee they can see before they ever book a call. You send the referral, keep the advisory relationship, and earn for it.

No cost to you. No software to learn. You stay your client's trusted advisor.
The problem you keep running into

The QuickBooks-to-ERP cliff

Sooner or later a growing client hits the wall: too many entities, a month-end close that drags for days, reporting they can't get out of QuickBooks or Xero. They ask you "what's next?" — and the honest answer used to be a 2-to-4-month Business Central partner project quoted somewhere between $20,000 and $80,000. That's a hard recommendation to make, and many clients stall.

💲

Six-figure sticker shock

Traditional BC implementations are quote-based, custom-scoped, and expensive — enough to scare an SMB out of the upgrade entirely.

📅

Months, not weeks

Even "rapid" partners still run 8–12 weeks of discovery and configuration before the client is live.

🔒

You lose the thread

Hand a client to a big implementation partner and you risk being pushed to the side of a relationship you've spent years building.

What Footing does

Real Business Central. Without the project.

Footing is a productized onboarding for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, built by a BC specialist. Your client answers a few questions, sees a transparent flat-fee quote, and gets a real, correctly-configured BC tenant — chart of accounts, dimensions, posting groups, localization — live in days.

Live in days, not months

A standard tenant is provisioned and configured fast, with a structured kickoff and a one-hour training session — not a multi-month engagement.

📝

Flat fee, shown up front

Setup from $1,995 plus a transparent monthly platform fee — your client sees the exact number on the calculator before talking to anyone. No quote calls, no surprises.

🎯

Configured for their business

An industry-tailored chart of accounts and dimension model — so the books are clean and report-ready from day one. (Which makes your work easier, too.)

🤝

It's their tenant, and you stay in

Microsoft licenses the BC tenant directly to your client at list price (no markup). Footing stays on as their support partner — and you stay their accountant.

Spotting the fit

Which of your clients should you refer?

If a client checks two or three of these, they're likely ready — and Footing is the low-risk way to get them there.

  • Outgrowing QuickBooks or Xero — bumping into limits, workarounds, or "we need real ERP" conversations.
  • Multiple entities juggled across separate QuickBooks files or spreadsheets, with painful consolidation.
  • Month-end close drags for days or weeks; finance lives in spreadsheets.
  • Roughly $500K–$15M in revenue, 3–30 people — past the bookkeeping stage, not yet a big-ERP buyer.
  • Already eyeing Business Central (or got quoted a scary partner project) and stalled on cost or timeline.
  • Reporting gaps — they can't get the dimensional P&L, project, or department views they need.
What's in it for you

You look like a hero — and you get paid.

💰

A referral reward

Choose $200 off your client's first month (a gift you give them) or a flat $500 referral fee paid to you once they're a sticky customer.

The trusted-advisor win

You answered the "what's next" question with a real, affordable solution — and stayed in the relationship instead of handing it off.

🧮

Cleaner books to work with

A properly configured BC tenant means tidier data, better dimensions, and less cleanup at close — easier for the work you already do.

🚀

Zero implementation burden

You don't configure anything, don't learn new software, and don't carry project risk. Footing handles setup and ongoing support.

🔗

Dead-simple to send

Share a link or make a warm intro. Your client gets a transparent quote in about 90 seconds — no pressure, no sales gauntlet.

🤝

A specialist behind you

Footing is built by a Microsoft Business Central specialist (Clear Horizon Solutions) — you're recommending real expertise, not a black box.

How the referral works

Three steps. That's it.

1

Introduce

Share your referral link, or make a warm email intro between your client and Footing. We'll let you know it came from you.

2

They self-serve

Your client builds their own transparent quote on the calculator and gets their BC tenant set up — live in days, flat fee, no six-figure project.

3

You're rewarded

When they're onboarded, your reward kicks in — $200 to gift your client, or a $500 fee to you once they're sticky. Your choice.

Become a Footing referral partner

It takes 15 minutes to get set up. We'll give you your referral link, the partner terms, and a short "which clients are a fit" cheat sheet you can keep on hand.
