> Connected Partner Program

The Connected Partner Program is designed for technology professionals that are looking to match good solutions for their client needs, while remaining an independent advisor. We know accounting software is not for everybody but every business needs it and it can help boost sales of other products and services that you offer to your clients.

The Connected Partner Program is available for suited individuals or companies that are interested in providing potential client referrals for the Connected system. Knowing when Connected is right for your client can boost your value and credibility. For example, when your customer is growing out of entry level programs such as MYOB or QuickBooks, Connected may be the right choice for their next step.

Connected Partners can earn 15%, with a $500 maximum, on any completed sale of the software from your referral. Simply refer your client to us while still remaining an independent consultant. We will work with your client via online demonstrations and other communications to ensure that our program is a good match for the clients needs.

Sign up today. Complete the Connected Partner Program application form and an Accountek representative will contact you directly.

If you are looking to be more involved with Connected, the Connected QCI program may be right for you. See the following section.
