The Opportunity

Every organization receives tax notices. Most still handle them by hand.

Mid-market and enterprise organizations manage notices through spreadsheets, mailroom triage, and heroic effort by overworked tax teams. The cost is measurable: missed deadlines, avoidable penalties, poor audit readiness, and highly paid professionals spending time on low-value work.

NOTICENINJA is purpose-built to change that — combining intelligent ingestion, workflow automation, and multi-entity visibility. For clients, it turns a reactive, paper-driven process into a managed, measurable operation. For their advisors, it's a scalable way to modernize tax operations without hiring around the problem.

The Certified Partner Program exists because this transformation is best delivered by trusted advisors. NOTICENINJA builds and maintains the Platform; certified partners implement, advise, and help clients realize measurable value.

How Partners Earn

Simple, transparent, published economics

Partners earn in three ways, paid quarterly on revenue NOTICENINJA actually collects.

Economic Term	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Platinum	Elite
Software Revenue Share	10%	15%	20%	25%	28%
Revenue Share Period	12 mo	12 mo	24 mo	36 mo	36 mo
Expansion Revenue Share	—	—	5%	7%	8%
Professional Services Fees	—	—	100%	100%	100%
Payment Cadence	Quarterly, 45 days after quarter-end

Software Revenue Share

A percentage of the recurring subscription fees collected from customers you sourced — paid quarterly.

Professional Services Fees

Gold, Platinum, and Elite partners keep 100% of implementation, training, configuration, and advisory fees. We take nothing from the services side.

Expansion Revenue Share

Drive an upsell, cross-sell, or seat expansion and earn an additional 5% (Gold), 7% (Platinum), or 8% (Elite) on the incremental subscription revenue.

Worked Example

A Platinum partner sources a $150,000 ARR enterprise customer

Software revenue share: 25% of $150,000 = $37,500/year for 3 years = $112,500 — plus 100% of professional services fees the partner charges, plus 7% on any expansion revenue driven during the term.

What We Ask in Return

We invest in partners. In return, partners invest in customer outcomes.

Certified & Trained Staff

Maintain current certifications appropriate to your tier. Higher tiers require more staff with deeper certifications — all free through the Partner Academy.

Measurable Customer Outcomes

For Gold, Platinum, and Elite, customer satisfaction is gating. NOTICENINJA measures CSAT, NPS, and retention directly with customers — through surveys we administer, not the partner.

Quality Implementation Delivery

Follow the NOTICENINJA Implementation Methodology: documented kickoff, discovery, configuration, training, cutover, stabilization, go-live review, and 90-day success review.

Customer-Outcome Threshold	Gold	Platinum	Elite
CSAT (0–10 scale)	≥ 8.0	≥ 8.5	≥ 9.0
NPS (annual)	≥ +20	≥ +30	≥ +40
Gross Revenue Retention	—	≥ 85%	≥ 90%

Clear Division of Responsibility

You own the relationship. We own the platform.

Partners aren't taking on ownership of the Platform itself — so you can focus on advisory relationships, implementation quality, and client value, without becoming an outsourced product-support organization.

NOTICENINJA retains direct responsibility for:

Platform availability, uptime, and technical performance
Product support, bug triage, and technical escalation
Security, data protection, and Platform regulatory compliance
Subscription contracting, pricing, and renewals with the customer
Product roadmap, release management, and new feature delivery
