Referral Program Terms and Conditions
These Referral Program Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your participation in the referral program (“Program”) offered by CFOAF LLC (“Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”). By participating in the Program, you (“Referrer”, “you”) agree to comply with these Terms. Please read them carefully.
1. Eligibility
1.1 The Program is open to individuals aged 18 years or older who are legally able to enter into binding contracts in their jurisdiction.
1.2 Employees, contractors, agents, partners, and affiliates of the Company, or their immediate family members, are not eligible to participate.
1.3 The Company reserves the right to verify the eligibility of any participant at any time.
2. Referral Process
2.1 A “Referral” occurs when a new client (“Referred Client”) is introduced to the Company by the Referrer and subsequently signs a service engagement agreement with the Company.
2.2 Referrals must be submitted using the Company’s designated referral form, portal, or official communication channel, including the name and contact details of the Referred Client.
2.3 Referrals must be submitted prior to the Referred Client’s initial contact or engagement with the Company. Referrals submitted after a prospect has already been in contact with the Company may be deemed ineligible.
2.4 Only the first Referrer to submit a qualified referral will be eligible for referral rewards. Subsequent referrals of the same client will not qualify.
3. Referral Reward Structure
3.1 For each Successful Referral (as defined in Section 4), the Referrer will receive a one-time, flat referral reward based on the service purchased by the Referred Client:
Tax Strategy Lite: $250 USD
Bookkeeping: $250 USD
Continuous Tax Strategy: $500 USD
CFO Pro: $1,000 USD
3.2 Referral rewards are calculated only on the initial service purchased and do not apply to additional purchases, upsells, or contract renewals.
3.3 Referral rewards are issued in accordance with the Affiliate Program Agreement.
4. Criteria for a Successful Referral
A referral qualifies as a Successful Referral if all of the following conditions are met:
4.1 The Referred Client has never previously engaged with or been a client of the Company.
4.2 The Referred Client enters into a legally binding service engagement agreement with the Company within 90 days of being referred.
4.3 The Referred Client remains in good standing (i.e., active and paying) under the agreement and does not cancel, default, or breach their obligations within the reward eligibility period.
4.4 All payments from the Referred Client to the Company must be received and cleared. Unpaid, disputed, or refunded invoices will not count toward Net Revenue for referral reward calculation.
4.5 Referral rewards will only be calculated on payments received from Referred Clients who complete at least one full billing cycle under their agreement. If a client cancels prior to the completion of the first billing cycle, no reward will be paid.
4.6 Net Revenue used to calculate rewards will exclude any amounts subject to a refund or chargeback period until such period has expired.
5. Payment Terms

5.2 Payments will be made to the Referrer within 90 days after confirmation of the eligible referral.

6. Non-Circumvention
6.1 Neither the Referred Client nor the Company shall circumvent the Referrer or engage in any action intended to avoid or reduce the referral reward payable under this Program.
6.2 If the Company discovers that a Referred Client was onboarded in a manner that bypasses the Referrer’s valid claim (including direct outreach after a referral has been submitted), the Company will, in good faith, honor the referral rewards as if the bypass had not occurred.
6.3 The Referrer agrees not to circumvent the Company or solicit the Referred Client to contract with other parties for similar services.
