Founding Members · Ola Accountancy app
Introduce clients. Earn recurring rewards.
Earn 10% commission whenever your referred clients pay for eligible Self-Assessment or Making Tax Digital services in the Ola Accountancy app, subject to programme terms.
Exclusively for the Ola Accountancy app.
This programme rewards you for introducing clients to the Ola Accountancy app — our automated service for Self-Assessment and Making Tax Digital filing. Introductions to Ola Accountancy’s accountancy services are not part of it.
What membership gives you
Three things worth knowing first.
10% recurring commission
You earn 10% of qualifying Self-Assessment and Making Tax Digital revenue from the Ola Accountancy app, excluding VAT, after discounts and refunds.
Settled every month
Commission settlements are processed monthly, on payments your referred customers have actually made.
How the programme works
The rules, in plain English.
Read these before you estimate anything — they decide what counts as a qualifying payment.
- Membership is invitation-only and subject to approval by Ola Accountancy.
- The first 100 activated Founding Member accounts are free for life. From number 101 onwards, membership costs £100 + VAT per year.
- Members earn 10% of qualifying Self-Assessment and Making Tax Digital service revenue in the Ola Accountancy app, excluding VAT, after discounts and refunds.
- Commission is earned on successful qualifying payments — not on invitations, registrations or report submissions.
- Commission comes only from your referred customers’ own service payments. There is no commission on other members’ recruitment and none on membership fees.
- Referred customers remain permanently attributed to their member, subject to programme terms.
- Commission settlements are processed monthly.
- Commission recurs for as long as your referred customers keep paying for eligible services. How long that continues is up to each customer, so no lifetime total can be promised.

Paying referred customers
Illustrative estimates, not guaranteed earnings. Calculations assume every customer shown purchases and pays for the selected services during one year. Actual earnings depend on paid purchases, discounts, refunds and programme eligibility. Estimates are before membership fees, expenses and tax.
The figures above are gross commission. Annual membership fees are kept separate and are not deducted from them.
Side by side
The same customers, three scenarios.
Each column is a different thing your referred customers might buy over a year. Read across a row to compare — never add the columns together.
| Paying referred customers | Self-Assessment only | Four MTD reports bought separately | Annual package |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | £75.00 | £200.00 | £275.00 |
| 25 | £187.50 | £500.00 | £687.50 |
| 50 | £375.00 | £1,000.00 | £1,375.00 |
| 100 | £750.00 | £2,000.00 | £2,750.00 |
| 250 | £1,875.00 | £5,000.00 | £6,875.00 |
| 500 | £3,750.00 | £10,000.00 | £13,750.00 |
| 1,000 | £7,500.00 | £20,000.00 | £27,500.00 |
These are alternative scenarios for the same customers, not amounts to add together. One customer on the annual package does not also earn the separate report commission.
