Actual IRS filings, not surveys
Every data point is extracted directly from a filed Form 990. No estimates, no self-reported figures. The same source the IRS uses.
Designed for IRC Section 4958
Peer group criteria map directly to the rebuttable presumption standard: similarly situated organizations by NTEE sector, budget size, and geographic scope.
Full transparency
Every organization in your peer group is identified by name, EIN, and filing year. Every compensation figure can be verified against the original return.
How it works
From search criteria to board-ready report
Define your comparability criteria
Select NTEE sector, budget range, geography, and executive role. The same criteria that satisfy the rebuttable presumption standard — structured as a guided workflow.
Refine the peer group
Review every matching organization with actual reported compensation. Add or remove orgs, adjust filters, compare across filing years.
Export your analysis
Download a polished PDF with percentile breakdowns, distribution charts, and full peer group detail — ready for the board book or the compliance file.
