Partner program for bookkeepers

Partner program for bookkeepers

Bookkeepers in Australia can recommend Cord8, rostering and stock software, to clients who run teams or hold stock, and apply to the partner program. If we approve you, we confirm your referral fee in your partner agreement. You must tell clients you may be paid before you recommend Cord8.

How much is the referral fee?

We confirm your referral fee in your partner agreement when we approve you.

What do I have to tell people?

That you may be paid. Say it clearly, before you recommend Cord8, and every time you recommend it.

  • Before you recommend it. Tell the client first, every time.

  • If you are a registered BAS agent or tax agent. The same Tax Practitioners Board rules apply as for accountants.

  • If you are not registered. The Australian Consumer Law still prohibits misleading clients.

Example wording. “I may be paid a referral fee if you become a Cord8 customer.”

We cannot give you professional advice. Check the current wording with the Tax Practitioners Board or your professional body.

Questions from bookkeepers

Yes, you can apply without an ABN. The ABN field is optional, and your partner agreement says when we need one.

If we approve you, your partner agreement sets a referral fee on customers you refer who pay for Cord8. It also says how long the fee runs and how it is paid.

Yes, say you may be paid before you recommend Cord8, every time. If you are a registered BAS agent or tax agent, the same Tax Practitioners Board rules apply as for accountants.

No, the partner program is for referrals only. Clients enquire and pay Cord8 directly.

Does Cord8 connect to accounting software?
