Standardize reasonable comp across your entire firm
One methodology. Consistent documentation. Defensible results. Give every member of your team the same analysis engine, backed by BLS data and aligned with IRC §162.
The problem at firm scale
When multiple CPAs handle S-corp clients, reasonable comp becomes inconsistent, undocumented, and a liability.
Inconsistent methods
Every CPA in your firm does it differently. Some use BLS data, some use gut feel, some skip it entirely. If the IRS audits two clients and sees different approaches, you have a problem.
Time drain during tax season
Manual research, spreadsheet calculations, and documentation take 1-2 hours per client. With 50+ S-corp clients, that is 50-100 hours of partner and staff time every season.
No audit trail
When the IRS asks "how did you arrive at this salary?", most firms scramble to recreate the analysis after the fact. That is not a defensible position.
One platform for your entire practice
SafeRatio gives every CPA on your team the same engine, the same methodology, and the same audit-ready output.
Shared credit pool
Buy credits at the firm level. Any team member can use them. No per-seat fees, no subscriptions. Credits never expire.
Consistent methodology
Every report uses the same IRC §162-aligned calculation: multi-role BLS benchmarking, weighted allocation, and documented adjustment factors. No more inconsistency across partners.
Audit-ready output
Every analysis generates a complete documentation file: inputs, BLS data sources, adjustment rationale, and final recommendation. Ready to attach to the return or hand to an auditor.
Client portal
Clients access their analysis through a branded portal. They see their salary recommendation, corrective action plan, and can review the methodology. Saves you the phone call.
IRS-recognized approaches
Multi-approach analysis for stronger defensibility
Your firm gets access to all three IRS-recognized approaches. Every report is backed by multiple methodologies, not just one.

Many Hats Method
BLS wage matching for every role the shareholder performs

Run your own numbers
Most firms bill reasonable compensation as a line item on S-corp engagements. Here is what that looks like with SafeRatio.
Volume pricing for practices
The more clients you serve, the less each report costs. No subscriptions, no per-seat fees.
