Why join
Built for the way you actually work

This isn't a badge you display — it's real software and real income, for accountants managing multiple clients across currencies and borders.

🎁

A free Pro account, permanently

Once approved, your own illico Book account is upgraded to Pro at no cost — unlimited categories, real estate module, full financial reports, all of it. Not a trial. A program perk, for as long as you're an active partner.

👥

One hub for every client

Clients invite you directly from their own Settings. Once accepted, their books show up in your Accountant Hub — no juggling logins, no exporting spreadsheets back and forth.

💰

Earn on every conversion

Get your own referral link the moment you're approved. Every business that signs up through it and converts to a paid plan earns you $50 — five times the standard referral rate.

🌍

Built for clients anywhere

Bilingual English/French, 10+ currencies, and real Mobile Money payment collection across 11 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa — alongside standard card payments everywhere else. Wherever your clients do business, illico Book is built to keep up.

🔒

Role-based access, your choice

Clients choose what you can see: Viewer, Editor, or Full access including budgets and recurring transactions. You never need their login — and they can revoke access at any time.

📊

A real dashboard for your book of business

Track every referred client, every conversion, and every dollar earned — lifetime and month-to-date — in one place designed for professionals managing more than one client.

Questions
Before you apply
Is the free Pro account really free, forever?
Yes, for as long as you remain an active, approved partner. It's not a trial and never converts to a paid subscription automatically.
Do I need to already be an illico Book customer to apply?
No. You can apply here first — if you don't have an account yet, just use the email you plan to sign up with. Once you create an account with that same email, your application and approval carry over automatically.
How do I actually get access to a client's books?
Your client invites you directly from their own Settings page, choosing what you can see (Viewer, Editor, or Full access). You don't need to be an approved partner to receive a client invite — the Partner Program specifically covers your own free Pro account and referral earnings.
What happens if my application is rejected, or I'm later suspended?
If rejected, you can reapply once your circumstances change. If a previously-approved account is suspended, the free Pro upgrade is reverted to the Free plan — any client relationships you have are unaffected.
How much is the referral bonus?
Approved partners earn $50 per converted client — five times the standard $10 referral rate — credited automatically the moment a client you referred converts to a paid plan.
