Help your clients thrive with Ignition: How referrals drive real impact

As someone who’s led our global advocacy efforts, I’ve seen firsthand the power of our referral program. Not just in how it rewards participants—but in how it empowers entire businesses to transform the way they operate and scale.

Referring Ignition has become one of the most impactful ways I’ve seen our partners grow—because it’s not just a recommendation. It’s a ripple effect of positive change. When you introduce Ignition to your clients, you’re helping them solve real business challenges, improve their cash cycle, and run smarter. That’s the kind of impact that lasts.

While Ignition may have started in the accounting world, it’s now a critical tool for all professional service businesses. From digital agencies to financial consultants, businesses use Ignition to:

• Automate client onboarding and payment collection
• Reduce their A/R
• Eliminate scope creep and unbilled work
• Centralize agreements, billing, and service delivery

Most importantly, they gain clarity and control over their revenue that allows them to move confidently into the future.

If you look across your client base, chances are you can easily spot the firms that would benefit most from Ignition. These are businesses that: 

• Offer services on retainer or recurring billing
• Work with contracts or bundled service packages
• Face regular challenges with cash flow, write-offs, and/or unbilled work

As someone close to their operations, you’re uniquely positioned to introduce them to a solution that can transform their business from the inside out.

No matter the industry, Ignition offers a better way to manage client relationships, streamline revenue, and improve cash flow. When you guide clients to Ignition, you’re not just recommending software—you’re helping them build stronger, more sustainable businesses.

One of the first areas where clients see a transformation is in onboarding and sales. Ignition’s end-to-end proposal-to-payment workflow, which creates a seamless and professional onboarding experience that leaves a strong first impression.

With Ignition, your clients can: 

• Automate proposals and agreements
• Track deal stages and close work faster
• Build a smooth, professional client onboarding experience

Industries that are a great fit: Agencies, consultants, accountants, bookkeepers, and any service provider handling client agreements.

Beyond onboarding, Ignition brings valuable visibility to revenue and services. With its insights and reporting tools, businesses can quickly see which services drive the most revenue, identify pricing gaps or inconsistencies, and uncover opportunities to expand their service offerings. This kind of data-driven clarity is especially valuable for firms looking to price confidently and build a foundation of recurring revenue.

Ignition’s revenue services are great for growing businesses that want to price confidently and build recurring revenue.

With Ignition’s Service Library and billing data, you’re arming your clients with invaluable resources to price strategically—eliminate the guesswork around pricing. 

Whether it’s a creative agency bundling digital services or a consultant offering retainer packages, Ignition helps firms move beyond ad hoc pricing.

Ignition customers enjoy the benefits of: 

• Packaging services with confidence 
• Charging based on value, not guesswork
• Benchmarking and refining their pricing strategies with real-time data 

With real-time billing and engagement data, your clients can forecast revenue accurately, spot cash flow issues before they escalate, and stay on top of invoicing and payments automatically. For any service business looking to grow with stability, this level of cash flow confidence can be a game-changer.

Your clients need smart solutions—now more than ever.
The current economic climate has placed enormous pressure on businesses to do more with less. Cash flow is tight, resources are stretched, and every decision matters. When you refer Ignition, you’re giving your clients an all-in-one platform that delivers the visibility, efficiency, and consistency they need to navigate these challenges with confidence.

This is about partnership, not pitching.
Referring Ignition isn’t about selling software—it’s about helping your clients solve real problems. You’re offering them a practical, proven way to tighten revenue processes, simplify client engagement, and shift their focus toward growth. That’s the kind of value they’ll remember—and thank you for.

Ignition works—and you don’t have to take our word for it.
Over 8,000 professional services firms worldwide trust Ignition to power their client relationships and cash flow. Over 13 years, we’ve helped firms streamline operations, reduce manual work, and build sustainable businesses. The proof is in the performance—and it’s ready for your clients, too.

Over the past few years, I’ve seen our referral partners do more than just earn credits or commissions. They’ve evolved into trusted advisors, guiding their clients toward solutions that help them grow and, in turn, become even more valuable and strategic within their own networks. 

For me, that’s what advocacy is all about: helping others succeed. There’s something uniquely rewarding about seeing a business refer Ignition and then watching their clients flourish as a result. It’s a reminder of why I believe so strongly in what we’re building.

If you’re already in the business of helping professional services firms grow, referring Ignition is a natural next step. 

Your recommendation could be the tipping point that helps a business get control over cash flow, reduce its administrative burden, or price its services with greater confidence. And that’s a legacy worth building. Learn more about our referral program today.
