100% Subscription Protection

Tax Planning Software ROI Guarantee

TaxPlanIQ's 100% ROI Guarantee is available with the Growth Plan only.

The TaxPlanIQ Growth Plan will pay for itself within the first 12 months, via tax planning fees generated from client sales.

If you meet the conditions outlined below and your planning fees don't cover 100% of what you paid for the Growth Plan subscription, we'll refund the difference between what you paid for your first year and the tax planning fees your clients agreed to during that year.

Why TaxPlanIQ Offers a 100% ROI Guarantee

Most software companies ask you to take a big risk: Subscribe to a software you've never used before, hope it works…and well, if it doesn't…that's your problem!

Nobody likes that. So we decided to operate differently. That means that accountants who subscribe to the Growth Plan get the full tax planning and projections software platform, weekly training, and 1:1 reviews of tax plans with our tax planning consultants, PLUS for the firms that follow our process to close planning engagements, we guarantee an ROI on your investment into the software. We've simply watched it happen across 1,200+ firms, the same thing happens over and over and over again. Firms see success. So we're comfortable guaranteeing it.

How the TaxPlanIQ ROI Guarantee Works

Do the work outlined in the conditions we show you below. If your tax planning fees over the first 12 months of your subscription don't cover 100% of what you paid for the software, we refund the difference. Either your fees cover the software, or your fees plus our refund do. If you do the work, your first year pays for itself one way or the other. Profitable tax planning services should not require you to gamble on the software first.

How Many Clients Does It Take to Recover Your Initial Investment?

The average planning engagement fee, across our entire TaxPlanIQ user base, is $4,800. At that average engagement fee, just a small number of accepted plans covers a full year of the Growth Plan. The conditions below require you to present at least 10 plans in your first year. That may sound like a lot, but it's less than ONE A MONTH. And you don't need all 10 to close. You need a fraction of them.

That's why we can make the guarantee: firms don't need every plan they present to close for a small number of engagements to cover the software investment.

ROI Guarantee Requirements

This special guarantee applies when you meet all 7 conditions within your 12 month subscription period (again, all 7 are required):

icon-training

Onboarding in Your First 90 Days

Complete every Advisor Accelerator Program session your Customer Success team schedules for you, all within the first 90 days of your subscription. To move a session, email the TaxPlanIQ team member leading it at least 48 hours ahead and finish the rescheduled session inside the 90 days. Declining the calendar invite doesn't count as notice. You get one no-show or late cancellation. A second one ends your eligibility, and nothing extends the 90-day deadline.

icon-presentation

Customer Success Meetings

Attend three meetings with your Customer Success Manager: the CSM Optimization Meeting, the 60-day post-implementation check-in, and the 90-day post-implementation check-in.

icon-review

Ten 1:1 Consultations

Review at least 10 tax plans with a Growth Consultant. Each one has to be for a real, named client, with the plan built and your price set before the call. Each plan has to support an engagement fee of at least $1,500. Get up to two 1:1 consultations a month, so the 10 take at least five months. Start early. Tax Labs, AMAs, and other group sessions don't count toward the 10.

icon-training

Tax Plan Presentation

Present all 10 reviewed plans to the clients they were built for, including the engagement you're proposing and your fee. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This is a hard requirement that we stick to. It's easy to meet if you just do it.

icon-training

Document Every Result

Mark each plan Closed Won or Closed Lost in TaxPlanIQ. A Closed Won plan needs proof the client accepted and proof of the amount, such as an invoice, a signed engagement agreement, or proof of payment. A Closed Lost plan needs a dated email or letter showing the client said no. Keep Closed Won and Closed Lost status current on every plan you present during the year, not just the 10.

icon-training

Keep Your Account in Good Standing

Pay every subscription invoice on time. A late, missed, failed, or declined payment ends your eligibility, and paying it later doesn't restore it.

icon-training

File Your Claim On Time

Submit your claim and all your documentation within 14 calendar days after your first 12-month term ends.

Quick clarification…some might ask us what "identified" means.

We define an "identified client" as a real person or business you built a tax plan for, reviewed in a 1:1, and presented to, with documented proof the presentation happened and a written decision from the client: a yes or a no to the plan and your fee. That way we can confirm you actually held the meeting and tried. Because that’s what this is all about, you have to at least try, is that fair enough? By the way, a no still counts as a presentation. Keep in mind that we’re measuring effort and process here, not close rate.

Why the ROI Guarantee is Included with the Growth Plan

The ROI guarantee exists on the Growth Plan for a reason. It's the plan built for accountants who want support. It's the plan that helps you at every step of the tax planning process, it's not software access alone.

Note: Here's a quick comparison  of TaxPlanIQ plans as of as of October 2026. Visit our pricing page for current plans and pricing.

TaxPlanIQ ROI Guarantee FAQs

Which tax planning software companies offer a money back or ROI guarantee?

Based on publicly available information as of October 2026, TaxPlanIQ is the only tax planning software for accountants and financial advisors that publishes a 100% ROI guarantee tied to the return on your investment on the software. The most that any other platform offers in this category is a limited-time free trial. They want you to try it free but don't want to actually risk giving your investment back once you pay.

Also separately, one tax planning platform advertises a client savings guarantee, which is simply a promise about how far it can reduce a taxpayer's bill. That's a guarantee, but not a guarantee about your investment in the software or program. It's rather a guarantee about your client's tax result, so again not your investment in the software itself.

The TaxPlanIQ ROI Guarantee, if we could put it plainly, is about your firm's revenue and how much ROI you get from investing in the software to begin with.

Does the TaxPlanIQ guarantee require my clients to accept the plans I present?

No, not at all. The presentation condition we have counts both yes or no decisions, so as long as your meeting and the written decision is documented. The guarantee measures whether you followed our process, not whether every prospect said yes. Because some prospects will always decline and that's something nobody can control, and is to be expected.

Who counts as an identified client or prospect?

We keep it simple here at TaxPlanIQ, or at least try to. An identified client is defined as a real person or business you met with about a tax plan, with documented proof of the meeting and a written decision on the plan…so basically you show us the meeting happened and you made an attempt to sell the plan but the client said no. We exclude internal test runs, hypothetical clients, and undocumented conversations because we need you to actually present to real clients in order for you to get an ROI on the software.

What happens if I miss an onboarding session?

You get one no-show or late cancellation during your onboarding. To move a session without using it, email the TaxPlanIQ team member leading the session at least 48 hours ahead and complete it inside your first 90 days. Declining the calendar invite doesn't count. A second miss ends your eligibility for the guarantee.

When does the 12 month period start?

The 12 month subscription period begins when your Growth Plan subscription starts. Your onboarding sessions have to be done in the first 90 days. Your 10 Growth 1:1 Consultations are capped at two a month, so plan to start them early. Everything else has to be done before the 12 months end.

Is the TaxPlanIQ guarantee available on other tiers?

No. The ROI Guarantee applies to the Growth Plan only. Why? Because while the other tiers work well for many firms, the Growth Plan does things the other tiers don't, such as extra training, live 1:1 reviews of tax plans by our team of tax professionals, and weekly support, all things that make the conditions much more achievable. Many firms do well on other tiers, but the best chance to succeed is on the Growth Plan so that's where the guarantee lives.

What counts as 'return on investment' for the guarantee?

ROI is money returned from an investment, right? In this case it would be tax planning fees generated from client sales, all during your first 12 months on the Growth Plan. It's simple math, if those fees equal or exceed 100% of what you paid for the subscription, then the plan easily paid for itself. If they don't, and you met all conditions and provide the documentation, you then qualify for the guarantee. That's the tax planning revenue side of calculations, and it's the only side we measure.

How is tax advisory ROI calculated under this guarantee?

Add up the fees from every engagement you marked Closed Won during your first 12 months. Compare that total to the Growth Plan subscription fees for the same 12 months. If your fees equal or exceed the subscription, the plan paid for itself and no refund applies. If they fall short, we refund the difference. Other fees and expenses aren't part of the calculation.

How do I claim the guarantee if I qualify?

Easy. Contact our team within 14 calendar days after your first subscription year ends with your claim and all your documentation. That window is for paperwork only. Everything else has to be done inside the 12 months. Once we verify it, we refund the difference, so your planning fees plus the refund cover what you paid for year one!
