Who it is for

Built for people who help others run better books.

Bkper Partners is open, but designed around trusted professionals who create education, implementation, and retention — not anonymous coupon traffic. It is one program with the same rules for everyone: no sales quota, certification, or partner tier is required to participate.

Accountants & bookkeepers

Recommend Bkper to clients and teams when you help them structure books, reports, workflows, or recurring bookkeeping operations.

Advisors & consultants

Use Bkper as a platform primitive for reporting, automation, AI workflows, and operational finance projects.

Community builders

Teach other professionals how Bkper works. If they later help their own customers adopt it, the capped mentor bonus recognizes that education work.

How it works

The short version.

  1. 01

    Refer someone you help

    Referral attribution and eligible commission tracking are on by default through a referral link, sharing a Book you own, or future product flows. Tracking fills an empty referrer only. Either side can remove the partner relationship.

  2. 02

    They pay Bkper

    When a referred customer pays for a Bkper subscription, eligible commission is tracked on the subscription portion of that payment.

  3. 03

    Commission clears

    Commission starts pending and becomes payable after a 30-day clearing period, as long as the payment is not refunded, credited, charged back, or invalid.

  4. 04

    Payout and status unlock

    To get paid and present yourself as an official Bkper Partner, complete Partner Ready, accept the terms, add valid payout details, and reach the payout threshold.

Partner Ready

Use Bkper before presenting yourself as a Bkper Partner.

Referral tracking can start immediately. Payouts and official partner status unlock only after Bkper can see real product usage and that you have shared an owned Book.

Readiness checklist

  • 45 days since Bkper signup
  • 180 posted transactions in Bkper
  • Shared one Book that you own

Earnings can be tracked before readiness is complete. They stay locked until the trust and payout requirements are met.

Trust rules

Clear attribution. Customer control. No hidden price change.

One current referrer

Automatic attribution only fills an empty referrer. It does not silently replace an existing relationship.

Either side can remove it

A referred customer can remove their referrer. A partner can also remove the relationship for a customer when receiving compensation is not appropriate.

Bkper discloses compensation

Bkper shows customers when a partner may be compensated from eligible subscription payments. Their subscription price does not change.

Why this exists

AI changes the work. Trust still creates the value.

As AI compresses repetitive prep, categorization, reconciliation, and document work, clients still need people who understand the business, protect data, review exceptions, and stand behind decisions.

Bkper gives those workflows a zero-sum source of truth. Bkper Partners shares recurring value with the professionals who help clients adopt reviewable systems that last.

Partner compensation

Review transparent revenue sharing.

Bkper shares subscription revenue with partners who create adoption, implementation, education, and retention. The estimator below shows how the revenue-share model can work over time.

Model partner compensation.

Start with customers you help adopt Bkper. Use the professional mentoring inputs only when modeling people you have helped learn, subscribe, and later support their own customers. Your browser saves each scenario for comparison.

Client subscription ? Standard — $14/mo Business — $32/mo Used to estimate your 20% commission from each customer you refer.
Mentored professional subscription ? Business — $32/mo Professional/custom Used to estimate your 20% commission from each subscribed professional you mentor.
Professional price / month ?
Editable when modeling Professional/custom subscription terms. Use only the Bkper subscription portion. Reset this scenario to defaults.

Presets are illustrative archetypes, not earnings promises. They are intentionally conservative about professional mentoring so the model stays centered on customer adoption. Client subscriptions use current listed Standard or Business prices.

How this is calculated

  • Mentor-bonus customer estimate = clients you refer × professionals you mentor.
  • Direct client commission = clients you refer × client plan × 20%.
  • Professional subscription commission = professionals you mentor × professional plan × 20%.
  • Mentor bonus = mentor-bonus customer estimate × client plan × 5%.
  • Annualized commission = estimated monthly commission × 12.

Estimates are illustrative. Commissions recur while subscriptions remain active and eligible under the terms; payouts depend on clearing, threshold, payout details, Partner Ready status, and other program requirements.

Partner services

Your services stay yours.

Commission is the recurring layer on top of the work you already bill. Price and collect your own setup, cleanup, training, reporting, automation, or advisory fees directly from clients. Bkper partner compensation adds recurring revenue when those clients stay subscribed.
