Partner program · For accountants & virtual CFOs
Refer your exporting clients. Earn $250 per signed Grant Agreement.
You shouldn't be writing Plans to Market or babysitting Austrade portal windows. Send your exporting SMEs to us. We draft, lodge and manage the EMDG application end-to-end. Your client gets up to $80,000 a year. You get a referral cheque and a happier client.
§ 01 · Why refer
EMDG isn't an accounting job anymore.
The 2021 reforms turned EMDG into a marketing-plan and timing game. Generalist firms lose money trying to learn it. Specialists win it.
01
Stop the non-billable bleed
The new EMDG Plan to Market, capacity-to-spend test, and first-come, first-served queue mechanics are a specialist job. Your team's hours are better spent on advisory and compliance work clients actually pay for.
02
We carry the lodgement risk
Late lodgement is the single biggest cause of rejection in the current round model. We hold lodgement-ready files in escrow and submit in the first hour of the next intake — so your client gets a Grant Agreement, not a 'next round' email.
03
You stay the trusted adviser
We white-glove the engagement, copy you on the Grant Agreement, and feed you the financial figures you need for tax season. The client never feels handed off — they feel taken care of.
§ 02 · Terms
Plain English. No fine print.
A one-page partner letter on request. Pay-out tracked per referral and settled after your client signs their Grant Agreement.
- Referral fee
- $250 per client that signs a Grant Agreement
- Paid
- After your client signs their Grant Agreement
- Eligibility
- Australian SME, $100k–$20m turnover, exporting or planning to within 12 months
- Exclusivity

Referral fees are commercial — not contingent on Austrade outcome beyond Grant Agreement signature.
§ 03 · How it works
From intro email to referral cheque.
Step 01
Intro
Forward a one-line intro email. We take it from there — no client of yours ever needs to chase us.
Step 02
Fit check
We pre-qualify quickly. If it's not a fit, you hear back with reasons, not jargon.
Step 03
Lodgement
We draft the Plan to Market, sit in escrow, and lodge in the first hour of the next intake.
Step 04
Payout
Once your client signs the Grant Agreement, the $250 referral fee is paid. Every cycle.
