As an accountant, we realize how much work it takes to recommend and set up QuickBooks products for your clients. Revenue share is our way of giving back to you as you help us grow QuickBooks. When you sign up for the revenue share program and help your clients get started with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Payroll, and QuickBooks Time, here are the benefits you’ll get:

  • Grow revenue: You receive 30% revenue for the first 12 months of your client’s QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Time Subscription. If they add a QuickBooks Online Payroll subscription, you get 30% of the base fee for that subscription, plus an additional 15% per employee for the first 12 months.
  • Client discount: You pass along a 50% discount to your client for the first 3 months of the subscription. They're also offered a free 30-day trial. This offer can't be combined with the ProAdvisor Preferred Pricing discount.
  • Save time: Your clients are charged directly, so you can spend more time with your client and less time managing subscriptions.

Sign up for revenue share

You will need your W-9, EIN or SSN, ACH banking info (where to receive payment), and some general identity verification to sign up. The application will auto generate your W-9. Make sure your W-9 is filled out correctly before you submit your application.

Fix rejection when names don't match

A common reason for rejection is names don't match. Make sure Your name on your W-9 is the same as the name on your QBOA account.

Notes:

  • The first revenue share payout is calculated based on the first paid month. It may take one to two months to begin receiving payouts. For example, if a client opts for a 30 day free trial, you will not receive any revenue until the month after they begin their paid subscription. 
  • If your client upgrades or downgrades their subscription during their first paid 12 months, your payout will be adjusted accordingly. 
  • You will be paid via direct deposit to the account you specify during enrollment.
