Manage ProAdvisor points

Your ProAdvisor tier is determined by a points system. You earn points for activities such as earning QuickBooks certifications or onboarding new clients.

• If your certification expires, you lose the points earned when you became certified.
• If you are already certified, recertification does not add additional points.

View your firm's current points:

1. Go to All Apps , select ProAdvisor, then select Benefits (Take me there).
2. Select Benefits.
3. Select History to see activities that impact your point total.

Submit CPE certificates

To receive credit for your Continuing Professional Education (CPE), you must submit your certificate to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
