Bookkeepers
Help clients submit organized source documents while strengthening the workflow supporting your own work.
FileFolders Partner Opportunity
Help businesses get organized. Earn when they stay with FileFolders.
FileFolders is building a referral and marketing partner program for bookkeepers, accountants, business consultants and trusted advisors who see the cost of document chasing first-hand.
No fee to participate. No required purchase. No compensation for recruiting partners. Commissions are earned only from eligible paying FileFolders customer subscriptions.
Who this is for
For professionals who already help businesses work better.
Introduce a practical document workflow to clients and business contacts who need a cleaner way to collaborate with their bookkeeping team.
Accountants
Introduce a document process developed from real accounting workflow experience and built around QuickBooks Online.
Business Consultants
Offer clients a practical solution to a common operational problem: scattered receipts, invoices and records.
Commission structure
Recurring commission from real customer revenue.
Partners are compensated only when referred customers become paying FileFolders subscribers and their eligible subscription payments are received and retained.
For an active partner in good standing, the applicable recurring commission continues without a fixed end date for as long as the referred customer remains an eligible paying FileFolders subscriber.
Direct customer referral
30% recurring commission
A partner who directly refers a paying FileFolders customer, with no sponsor override attached to that partner, earns 30% of eligible net subscription revenue.
One sponsored partner level
21% seller + 9% sponsor
If a sponsored partner refers a paying customer, FileFolders pays 21% to the selling partner and a 9% override to their one approved sponsor.
| Subscription example | Selling partner | Sponsor override | Total partner payout | FileFolders share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription — direct referral ($30/month) | $9.00 | — | $9.00 | $21.00 |
| Monthly subscription — sponsored partner sale ($30/month) | $6.30 | $2.70 | $9.00 | $21.00 |
| Annual subscription — direct referral ($300/year) | $90.00 | — | $90.00 | $210.00 |
| Annual subscription — sponsored partner sale ($300/year) | $63.00 | $27.00 | $90.00 | $210.00 |
Eligible net subscription revenue means FileFolders subscription payments actually received and retained, excluding sales taxes, discounts, credits, refunds, chargebacks, unpaid amounts and unrelated professional services.
Commission illustration disclosure: These examples show how commission would be calculated on an individual eligible paid FileFolders subscription. They are not estimates or guarantees of partner earnings. A partner's actual compensation, if any, depends on referred customers becoming and remaining paying subscribers under the Partner Program Terms.
GST/HST on commissions: Commissions are calculated exclusive of any applicable GST/HST. A Partner who is registered for GST/HST must provide a valid GST/HST registration number and invoice FileFolders for the applicable GST/HST on commissions earned. The Partner is responsible for reporting and remitting any GST/HST collected.
Clear guardrails
A partner opportunity built around customers, not recruitment.
The program is intended to reward genuine introductions to businesses that subscribe to FileFolders because the workflow is useful to them.
No cost to join
No enrollment fee, starter kit, advertising purchase or required subscription.
No pay for sign-ups
A sponsor earns nothing merely because another partner joins the program.
One sponsor level
Only one approved sponsor override applies. There are no further upstream commission levels.
30% payout cap
Total partner compensation on eligible customer revenue never exceeds 30%.
How it works
Introduce a useful workflow and stay connected to its success.
Introduce
Share FileFolders with a business, bookkeeper or accounting firm whose document workflow could be improved.
Try
A qualifying business and its bookkeeper may receive a no-obligation 30-day trial to test the workflow.
Subscribe
If the trial becomes a paid FileFolders subscription, eligible recurring customer revenue begins to qualify.
Earn
Eligible commission is calculated monthly while the customer remains a paying subscriber and terms are met.
Long-term fairness
Recurring while active. A defined tail if you retire.
While a partner remains active and in good standing, eligible recurring commissions continue without a fixed end date as long as the referred subscriber continues to pay for FileFolders. The retirement treatment below applies only after a partner chooses to leave the program or is terminated without cause.
Good-standing retirement treatment
- Active partner commissions are not limited to 12 months; they continue while the partner remains active, in good standing, and the referred subscriptions remain eligible and paying.
- After at least 12 months in good standing, a partner who retires receives their applicable commission on existing eligible subscriptions for up to 12 additional months.
- During that retirement tail period, compensation remains dependent on the related customers continuing to pay for FileFolders.
- Termination without cause receives the same 12-month tail treatment.
- Fraud, unlawful marketing, spam or material violation of program terms may end future commission eligibility.
Important disclosure
A new program with no earnings history.
The FileFolders Partner Program is now available to approved partners under the current Partner Program Terms. Participation begins only after written approval by FileFolders and acceptance of those terms.
The commission examples on this page illustrate the proposed calculation method for eligible paid subscriptions. They do not represent typical earnings, projected income or guaranteed compensation.
Because this is a new program, FileFolders does not yet have historical participant earnings data. A participant may earn nothing. Actual compensation, if any, will depend on factors including whether referred customers become paying subscribers, how long those subscriptions remain active, applicable subscription pricing, refunds or credits, compliance with program terms and the partner's own activities.
No compensation is paid merely for recruiting or signing up another partner. Any sponsor override is payable only from eligible subscription revenue generated by an approved paying customer referral, and total partner compensation on that revenue will not exceed 30%.
FileFolders will review and update its compensation disclosures as actual participant data becomes available.
