Points frequently asked questions
How are my points calculated?
The point system was crafted to recognise the work you do and give you more flexibility in moving up the tiers and unlocking new benefits. Points are accumulated based on all members in the same QuickBooks Online Accountant firm through the completion of actions (see list below).
To earn points, complete the following:
- Add a QuickBooks Online subscription for a client – 25 points
- Complete certification for QuickBooks Online – 100 points
- Complete advanced certification for QuickBooks Online – 200 points
Where can I see my points balance?
You can see your point balance anytime by logging into QuickBooks Online Accountant and accessing the ProAdvisor tab.
Do my points expire?
Points will expire from your balance when the action that earned them is no longer valid. For example, if you received 25 points for creating a QuickBooks Online subscription for a client and that subscription is cancelled, then those 25 points will be deducted from the point balance.
Grace period frequently asked questions
What is a grace period?
A grace period will keep you in the same tier without losing benefits anytime your QuickBooks Online Accountant firm’s point balance drops below the tier threshold. The grace period gives you time to earn enough points to maintain the tier. If the points balance at the end of the grace period do not meet the threshold for the tier, you and all members of the same QuickBooks firm will be moved to the lower tier.
What is the grace period when the point balance falls under a tier point requirement?
Any time the point balance falls under the tier point requirement, you and all members of the same QuickBooks Online Accountant firm will have 90 days to earn enough points to remain in the tier. During the 90 day grace period, you will continue to full access to the benefits in the tier. If the points balance at the end of the grace period does not meet the threshold for the tier, you and all members of the same firm will be moved to the lower tier.
