Built for the Big 4 UAE SMB advisory teams (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY), tier-1 audit firms (BDO, Grant Thornton, RSM, Crowe), and mid-market consultancies that serve UAE SMB clients on VAT, Corporate Tax, e-invoicing, and bookkeeping. 22% Y1 / 12% lifetime MRR revenue share (2 percentage points above market — sustainable, not inflated), white-label option from Pro tier, multi-client dashboard, co-marketing, and a dedicated firm-success lead.
UAE accounting firms — especially Big 4 SMB advisory practices and mid-market audit firms — already serve hundreds of UAE SMB clients on tax, payroll, and bookkeeping. The bottleneck on growing those practices is not new client demand. It is the scaling cost of doing the actual work: VAT 201 prep, Corporate Tax filings, payroll runs, e-invoicing onboarding. Each new SMB client adds linear hours; firms can either hire (margin compression) or turn work away.
HIBR is the platform that lets a firm partner take on more clients per associate without proportional hiring. The AI Tax Co-pilot does the tedious lookup work; the bilingual bookkeeper categorizes routine transactions; the auto-prep VAT 201 means associates review, not key in. The firm captures the time savings as margin — and HIBR shares the subscription revenue.
This program turns the relationship from "we recommend other UAE accounting tools and don't make anything off it" into a genuine economic partnership.
That's exactly what HIBR offers.
HIBR pays partner firms recurring monthly revenue share on the subscription fees of any client referred to and retained on the platform. The rate is flat across all tiers — what changes by tier is the level of partnership benefits (co-marketing budget, white-label, dedicated success lead), not the share itself.
| Tier | Annual Referred MRR | Revenue share % | Average partner annual income (10 clients on Pro) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 0 – 60K | 22% Y1 / 12% lifetime | 13,173 Y1 |
| Silver | 60K – 200K | 22% Y1 / 12% lifetime | 13,173 Y1 + co-marketing budget |
| Gold (Tier-1) | 200K+ | 22% Y1 / 12% lifetime | 13,173 Y1 + full white-label + dedicated success lead |
The share applies to all months the client stays on HIBR, not just the first year (Year 2 onwards at the 12% lifetime rate). If a Big 4 firm onboards 50 SMB clients on the Pro tier (499/mo), that's 14,950 monthly recurring MRR contribution. At the 22% Y1 rate, that's 3,289/month to the firm in Year 1, 1,794/month from Year 2 onwards — recurring for the lifetime of every client.
The recommendation only works if the client benefits too. HIBR pricing for a firm-referred client mirrors public pricing — partners get revenue share, clients get the same product at the same price. No hidden markup.

Revenue share stops the month they cancel. There is no clawback on prior months — that revenue was earned during their active subscription period. The client remains free to come back; if they restart, revenue share resumes from the new subscription start date.
Each client is attributed to one partner — typically the first firm that referred them. If a client moves between advisory firms, attribution remains with the original referring partner unless the client explicitly transfers it. Disputes are rare and resolved via the partner agreement's tie-break clause (HIBR firm-success lead mediates).
No. Bronze tier is open to any qualified firm with no minimum referrals. Silver requires 60K annual referred MRR to access white-label and dedicated success. Gold requires 200K. Tiers are reviewed quarterly.
That happens. We do not penalize partners for client churn. If your firm later starts recommending HIBR again, your tier resumes based on actual referred MRR. We track partner tier on a rolling 12-month basis, so a single bad quarter does not demote a partner instantly.
Yes. Gold tier partners can negotiate a master services agreement covering the firm globally with regional addenda. Especially relevant for Big 4 where the UAE office is part of a Middle East regional structure. Our legal team works with your procurement directly.
UAE auditor independence rules (per the regulator and SCA + UAE Companies Law) allow software recommendation by audit firms as long as the firm does not derive material economic dependence on the software vendor. Standard practice is to disclose the partnership to the client. We've worked with multiple audit firms on the compliance framework — happy to share the template.
Currently UAE-focused. Saudi expansion planned for Year 2 (per master plan §7 Phase 4) — Saudi-focused partner program will follow with KSA-specific revenue share structure. Partners with offices in both UAE and Saudi can register early interest with the firm-success lead.
Big 4: the UAE SMB Advisory partner. Tier-1 audit / mid-market: the Managing Partner or Senior Partner overseeing the SMB-services line. Specialist tax-advisory boutiques: the partner with VAT/CT practice ownership. Below 5-partner firms: just the founder or managing partner directly.
