How the Leon Digital Solutions Referral Program Works

Many business owners discover accounting, tax, payroll, and compliance support through people they already trust. The Leon Digital Solutions referral program gives that trust a clear process: someone introduces a business that needs help, Leon Digital Solutions reviews the opportunity, and the referrer may receive a reward when the referral becomes a qualified paying client.

This guide explains how the referral program works for businesses in the Philippines, Singapore, and Hong Kong. It also explains why audit and assurance engagements are excluded from referral commissions.

Who Can Refer a Business?

Anyone who knows a business, startup, freelancer, SME, or growing company that may need accounting and finance support can submit a referral. This can include clients, business partners, suppliers, professional contacts, friends, and community members.

To process a referral properly, Leon Digital Solutions needs the referrer's name, email address, phone number, preferred payout method, and basic information about the referred business. This information is kept private and used only to assess, track, and process the referral.

Eligible Services

The referral program may apply to business registration, bookkeeping, financial statements, tax compliance, payroll, business advisory, and other accounting and finance services. These are services where a referral reward can be treated as a marketing or business development arrangement, subject to review and proper documentation.

The program covers one-time services and monthly retainer services. A one-time service may include business registration support, a specific financial statement engagement, or a one-off compliance cleanup. A monthly retainer service may include ongoing bookkeeping, payroll support, tax compliance support, or finance operations assistance.

Commission Rules

For eligible one-time services, the referral reward is 20% of the net collected professional or service fee after discounts. Government filing fees, statutory charges, penalties, reimbursements, taxes, and unpaid amounts are not included in the commission base.

For eligible monthly retainer or recurring services, the referral reward is 20% of the first month only. The following months are not commissionable. This keeps the program simple and sustainable while still rewarding people who introduce qualified clients.

A referral becomes eligible only after the referred client has approved or signed the engagement, paid the invoice, and completed 30 days with no refund or cancellation. This 30-day period protects both the business and the referrer by making sure the engagement is stable before commission is processed.

Why Audit and Assurance Work Is Excluded

Audit and assurance engagements require a higher level of independence, objectivity, and professional care. Referral commissions connected to audit or assurance work can create independence concerns or the appearance of a conflict of interest. For that reason, Leon Digital Solutions excludes audit and assurance work from paid referral rewards.

This conservative approach helps protect the integrity of professional services and keeps the referral program focused on non-assurance accounting, tax, payroll, registration, advisory, and finance support.

How to Generate and Share a Referral Link

The best way to track a referral is to generate a unique referral link before introducing the business. Start through the Leon Digital Solutions referral link generator. The form asks for the referrer's name, email address, phone number, and preferred payout method so Leon Digital Solutions can create a private referrer profile.

After the form is submitted, the system creates or reuses a unique referral code for that referrer. That code is then attached to a shareable inquiry link. The link will look similar to https://leondigitalsolutions.com/contact?ref=REFERRALCODE. The exact code is unique to the person who generated it.

How the Referral Link Works

The referral link is built to make tracking simple. Instead of asking the referred business to remember a code, the code travels inside the link itself through the ref value. When the referred business opens the link, the inquiry page receives the referral code automatically.

  1. The referrer generates a code. The referrer enters their contact details and payout preference on the referral page. This creates a referrer profile and a unique tracking code.
  2. The system creates a tracked link. The generated link points to the contact page and includes the referrer's code, for example /contact?ref=REFERRALCODE.
  3. The referrer shares the link. The link can be sent through WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, Viber, email, SMS, or any other channel.
  4. The referred business opens the link. When the link is clicked, the Leon Digital Solutions inquiry form opens with the referral code already attached.
  5. The inquiry form captures the code. The referred business does not need to type the code manually. The form reads the ref value from the link and saves it together with the inquiry.
  6. Leon Digital Solutions traces the referral. Because the code is connected to the original referrer profile, Leon Digital Solutions can identify who generated the link and review whether the referral qualifies for a commission.

For best results, referrers should share the generated link with a short note such as: "I recommend Leon Digital Solutions for accounting, tax, payroll, and compliance support. You can inquire through my referral link." The referred business can then open the link, complete the inquiry form, and Leon Digital Solutions will review the referral privately.

If someone submits a referral manually instead of using the tracked inquiry link, they can still include the referral code in the referral form. However, the cleanest tracking flow is to generate the code first, share the unique link, and let the inquiry form capture the code automatically.

Leon Digital Solutions then reviews the inquiry, contacts the referred business, confirms the service need, and determines whether the opportunity is eligible under the program rules.

Privacy and Consent

Referral information should be shared responsibly. Referrers should have permission to share the referred person's contact details. Leon Digital Solutions uses the information only to contact the referred business, assess the service need, manage the referral record, and process any approved commission.

The referred client does not receive the referrer's payout details. Referrer information is kept private unless disclosure is legally required or separately authorized.

Practical Examples

Example 1: One-Time Business Registration Support

A referrer introduces a startup that needs business registration assistance. The client proceeds, pays the professional fee, and does not cancel within 30 days. The referral may qualify for 20% of the net collected professional fee after any discount.

Example 2: Monthly Bookkeeping Retainer

A referrer introduces an SME that signs up for monthly bookkeeping. The first monthly invoice is paid and remains active after 30 days. The referral may qualify for 20% of the first month only. The second month and later months are not commissionable.

Example 3: Audit Engagement

A referrer introduces a business looking for audit or assurance work. Leon Digital Solutions may still review the inquiry, but the referral is excluded from commission because audit and assurance work must avoid independence concerns.

Final Notes

The referral program is intended to reward helpful introductions while keeping the process professional, private, and compliant. Leon Digital Solutions may review eligibility, documentation, service type, invoice status, collection status, refunds, cancellations, and conflicts before approving any referral reward.
