Founding Partner Program · Pre-launch
Partner with SalaryCPA before it launches
SalaryCPA is the independent CPA salary-intelligence platform. We're onboarding a small group of founding partners ahead of launch — sponsorship placements roll out through 2026 and are always clearly labeled, never blended into the data.
This is a pre-launch program — read this first
SalaryCPA does not yet sell live ad inventory. The placements below describe what founding partners will be able to sponsor as features ship through 2026. We're reserving a limited number of founding-partner slots now so the earliest accounting firms, employers, and recruiters help shape what launches — at founding terms. Nothing here is presented as already running.
Who we reach
Built for the people who set and benchmark CPA pay
SalaryCPA pages are read at the moment someone is evaluating compensation — by the professionals being paid and the leaders who decide what to pay them.
CPAs & staff accountants
Licensed and aspiring accountants benchmarking pay and weighing their next move.
Accounting managers & controllers
People who own headcount, set bands, and approve offers for their teams.
Finance leaders & directors
VPs of Finance and CFOs calibrating compensation against the market.
Recruiters & talent teams
In-house and agency recruiters sourcing accounting and finance talent.
We describe our audience by role, not by inflated numbers. As distribution grows, founding partners get the real figures first — no reach claims we can't stand behind.
The independence guarantee
Sponsorship never touches the salary data
Credibility is the entire product. A sponsor cannot buy a better number, a higher ranking, or a more flattering estimate — not for any price. This is a permanent rule, not a launch promise.
Figures stay fixed
No sponsor can alter, weight, or influence any salary figure, percentile, ranking, or estimate.
Always labeled
Sponsored content always carries a clear marker Sponsored and lives in its own slot.
Never inside the data
Placements sit alongside salary content, never mixed into the verified dataset, rankings, or exports.
rel="sponsored"
Paid outbound links are tagged so search engines and readers can tell paid from editorial.
What founding partners can sponsor
Placements rolling out through 2026
Each of these becomes available as the corresponding feature ships. Founding partners get first access and founding terms — and everything stays clearly labeled.
Report sponsorship
Become the presenting sponsor of the upcoming flagship CPA Compensation Report — a clearly-labeled placement on the report and its companion pages.
Employer & firm profiles
A clearly-labeled, enhanced profile for your firm — your story, locations, and open accounting roles — shown alongside (never inside) salary content.
Recruiter & job placements
Transparent-pay job postings and recruiter placements that reach accountants while they compare offers.
Newsletter sponsorship
A single, tasteful placement in the SalaryCPA newsletter once subscriber distribution opens.
The line we don't cross
What is never for sale
- Salary figures, percentiles, or estimates — no sponsor can move a number, up or down.
- Rankings, "top employer" lists, or where a firm appears in any comparison.
- Editorial methodology, the verified dataset, or its provenance labels.
- Fabricated testimonials, case studies, or reviews on a sponsor’s behalf.
- SEO-only link placements unrelated to CPA pay, careers, or hiring.
