Diagnosing 'no spend visibility' in 15 clients but can't hand them the fix?

Close the gap between diagnosis and implementation. Earn on every referral.

Business coaches, fractional CFOs, system integrators, and change consultants all see the same pattern: clients with no visibility into spending. Budgetly is the tool you can hand them. The client gets a measurable 14-day operational win. You get lifetime partner revenue share. The relationship gets stronger because you delivered the fix, not just the report.

The shift

You've diagnosed the problem ten times. You've never been able to deliver the fix.

Within 48 hours of starting an engagement, you've found it: the shared credit card nobody reconciles, the petty cash tin that's $400 short, the reimbursement backlog. You can describe the broken system in your sleep. But you don't have a tool to recommend with confidence — the last fintech tool you suggested overpromised and embarrassed you. So you write the diagnosis, hand over the report, and watch the client put it in the drawer.

The old way

  • Diagnosing the same operational problems across 10-30 clients with no consistent fix
  • Previous fintech recommendations that overpromised and embarrassed you
  • Clients who file your report, agree with everything, and change nothing
  • Diagnosis without implementation — a strategy report nobody acts on
  • No recurring revenue from the recommendations you make
  • Brand built on practical results, but limited by tools you can recommend

With Budgetly

  • Hand clients a 14-day operational win, not a strategy deck
  • Lifetime partner revenue share — 10-30% tiered by partner level
  • Client gets premium onboarding through your relationship
  • Measurable outcomes: $21K saved (Connecting Families), 38hrs/week (Bawinanga)

  • Stop being the diagnostician. Become the adviser who delivers the fix.

What changes when advisors recommend Budgetly to clients

Stop closing engagements with reports clients never implement. Recommend a tool with measurable outcomes, premium client support, and recurring revenue back to your practice.

Replace 'I told you so' reports

Hand clients a 14-day operational win, not a 60-page strategy deck.

Most operational problems you identify can be fixed by giving every employee a controlled card, capturing receipts at the merchant, and syncing transactions to Xero. Budgetly delivers that in 14 days. Your client sees measurable change before the next quarterly check-in. You’re the advisor who delivered the fix.

  • Setup in 5 minutes. First card in 30 seconds. Live in 14 days.
  • Per-employee, per-team, or per-project budgets
  • Out-of-policy spend declines at the Visa network
  • Receipts captured at the merchant on mobile
  • Two-way Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, NetSuite, and SAP sync

  • Live transaction feed across every team, project, or cost centre
  • Anomaly alerts on velocity, new merchants, or unusual amounts
  • Mobile dashboard for owners and finance leads
  • Drill from total spend to a single transaction in two clicks
  • Real demo data from 20,000+ Australian businesses

My clients are too busy to implement new tools. How is this different?
Setup takes 5 minutes. First card issued in 30 seconds. Personalised onboarding included. Most clients are live in two weeks. The tool removes work; it doesn’t add work. The mobile-first design means staff use it because it’s easier than what they have today.
Will my client's existing systems integrate cleanly?
Native two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, NetSuite, and SAP. No CSV bridges. No middleware. The integration is a foundation, not a feature. 4.9/5 on the Xero App Store from 96 verified accountants and bookkeepers.
How does the partner revenue share work?
Tiered lifetime revenue share — 10% at Registered/Silver, 20% at Gold, 30% at Platinum. No first-year-only mechanics. You earn on every client you refer, every month, for as long as they’re a customer. You can keep the share as practice revenue or pass it as a client discount.
What support do my clients get if I refer them?
Premium onboarding through the partner relationship. Personalised setup support. Free Accounting Engineer hour for Xero or MYOB integration. Priority customer success. Your client looks after by Budgetly because you made the introduction — and your reputation strengthens accordingly.
Can I co-create content or co-host webinars?
Yes. Partner advisors get co-brandable client guides, webinar co-hosting opportunities, and content collaboration. The partnership extends beyond a referral fee. We work with you to grow your client base and your practice.
What's the path to becoming a partner?
Talk to our partner team. We’ll set up a sandbox account, walk through the integration on your data, and discuss the right tier for your practice. From there, refer your first client and you’re in. Most advisors see their first revenue share within the first month of a referral going live.
