Arcling's share, to run the platform: billing, scheduling, intake, matching, and support.
Of Arcling's annual profit, shared back with the counselors and coaches who make it work.
Most agencies take 40–50% and share nothing. We think the people doing the counseling should own a piece of the upside they create. That's the whole argument.
We verify credentials before anyone joins, and every counselor works to a published standard aligned with NACAC's Statement of Principles of Good Practice. That's not red tape — it's the reason a family trusts the counselor we match them with. Read the promise we make to families and the full Counselor Guidelines.
