Previously, points were based only on the number of QBO clients and certifications. They are now given for all current and new QuickBooks accounting, self-employed and payroll clients. In the case of accountants and bookkeepers, who are part of a team under the same QuickBooks Online Accountant firm, points will be aggregated  as different actions are completed. Point balances qualify advisors for one of four tiers—Silver, Gold, Platinum (formerly Diamond) and Elite. Other benefits include special discounts for Constant Contact for ProAdvisors and Squarespace. Additionally, Gold, Silver and Elite members have access to the new ProAdvisor Merchandise. Advisors also have access to the new Intuit Marketing Hub. The ProAdvisor Program is available for free to accounting professionals using QBO Accountant.
