Complys Affiliate Programme for Accountants & Advisers
Your SME clients already trust you with the systems that run their business, and they ask you what else they should be using. Recommending Complys for their health, safety and compliance record-keeping is a natural fit — and earns you recurring commission when they subscribe.

The compliance gap in front of you
Compliance sits right next to the finances and admin you already help clients organise. When you're setting a client up properly — payroll, bookkeeping, the tools that keep them on top of obligations — pointing them to one tidy home for risk assessments, policies, training and certificates is exactly the kind of joined-up advice they came to you for. And because Complys is a subscription, it rewards you month after month rather than once.
SME owners treat their accountant as the trusted adviser on 'what should we be using?'. Compliance software is a question you're already fielding without a good answer to point to.
You get the books in order, but health & safety records, policies and certificates are still scattered across the client's inboxes. It's the loose end that undermines an otherwise well-run business.
Most introductions an accountant makes pay nothing, or a single kickback. A recurring model changes a helpful recommendation into a genuine income line.
Why accountants & bookkeepers refer Complys
SME owners act on their accountant's recommendations about which systems to run. A compliance recommendation carries real weight coming from you.
Complys organises the compliance side of the business the same way you help organise the financial side — clients appreciate joined-up advice from one trusted source.
One recommendation to a suitable client can generate recurring commission through the qualifying period, with tracking handled entirely by your Partner link.
Why compliance is a natural conversation for accountants
Accountants and bookkeepers occupy a rare position of trust with SME owners. You see the whole business, you're consulted on the systems that run it, and clients regularly ask you what else they should be doing to stay on top of their obligations. Compliance record-keeping — health and safety, policies, training, certificates — is one of the areas where that question comes up and where most small businesses simply don't have a good answer.
For many of your clients, compliance lives in the same messy place their finances used to before you organised them: spreadsheets, email threads, a folder someone set up once. When a contract, an insurer or an auditor asks for evidence, it turns into a scramble. Recommending Complys is the compliance equivalent of the tidy systems you already put in place — one home for risk assessments, policies, training records and certificate reminders, kept current rather than rebuilt each time it's needed.
You don't take on any compliance responsibility by making the introduction. Your role is exactly what it already is: the trusted adviser pointing a client at the right tool. Complys and the client handle the compliance itself. That keeps the recommendation clean and low-risk while still being genuinely useful — the kind of practical steer that deepens the client relationship rather than complicating it.
The commercial case is straightforward. Because Complys is a recurring subscription, an eligible client you introduce can generate commission for as long as they remain a qualifying customer within the commission period — not a single introducer fee. For a practice with a book of SME clients across trades, property, care and professional services, that turns an occasional helpful recommendation into a steady, passive income stream, all tracked automatically through your unique Partner link.

accountants & bookkeepers: frequently asked questions
Do I need compliance expertise to refer Complys?
No. You're recommending a tool that helps clients keep their own compliance records organised — you don't take on any compliance responsibility for them. Your role is simply the trusted introduction; Complys and the client handle the rest.
How is my referral tracked if I just mention it to a client?
You receive a unique Partner referral link once approved. Share that link — by email, in a client portal, or in a recommendation — and eligible sign-ups are attributed to you. Commission is earned on qualifying subscription payments during the applicable period.
Can a whole practice take part, not just one adviser?
Yes. A practice can use a single Partner account and referral link across its client base, and monitor activity in the Partner dashboard. There's no joining fee to apply.
What commission rate do Complys Partners earn — 20% or 25%?
Founding Partners (the first 100) earn 25% on qualifying referred customer revenue from day one, with no threshold to reach. Standard Partners earn 20% on their first £20,000 of cumulative qualifying referred customer revenue, then 25% on qualifying revenue above £20,000. Once a Standard Partner reaches 25%, that Growth Partner rate is retained. All rates apply to qualifying subscription revenue actually received by Complys, subject to the Partner Programme terms.
Is Complys affiliate commission recurring?
Yes. Eligible Partners can earn recurring commission on qualifying subscription payments from customers they successfully refer, subject to the applicable commission period and the Complys Partner Programme terms. A successful referral may generate multiple commission payments rather than a single one-off payment.
How are Complys affiliate referrals tracked?
Approved Partners receive a unique affiliate referral link. When someone follows that link, referral information is used to attribute eligible sign-ups and qualifying subscriptions to the correct Partner in accordance with the programme's tracking and attribution rules. You can monitor activity in your Partner dashboard.
Is there a fee to become a Complys Partner?
No. There is no joining fee to apply for the Complys Affiliate Programme. Applications are reviewed to make sure prospective Partners, their audiences and their promotional methods are suitable for the programme.
