Affiliates may also qualify to receive special product discounts to be passed along to their clients and members.
"There is great demand for this type of affiliate program in the small business and professional accounting communities. These organizations have expressed interest in offering QuickBooks software to their clients and members and now, thanks to the power of the Internet, we can empower them to do so," said Dan Nye, vice president and general manager of Intuit's Small Business Division.
