I set up Quickfile for a small charity with the understanding that it would be free.
Today I have tried to login and they are charging £54 as they say it is a large account. I can’t login!
I only work part part-time for the charity and 2 days ago I uploaded the bank statements for three months. Has this made it a large account? I had not used Quickfile since early in June and had not used my ‘monthly usage’ during this time.
Please help asap as I need bring the account up to date and the charity is unable to pay for Subscription.
All accounts are graded based on their nominal ledger entries - XS, S, M, L or XL. Accounts with 1,000+ ledger entries (that’s L or XL accounts) are required to pay £45.00 +VAT per year.
I’ve taken a look at the account associated with your forum account, and can see that you have 1,104 ledger entries which have been created in the last 12 months. This means your account is graded as L, and has caused the notification regarding the charge.
You can however defer this for 7 days if you haven’t done so already (there’s an option on the left hand side of the payment screen), which will give you 7 days free access. In this time, I’d recommend taking a look at the following guides and checking out the ledger count, so you can see how this is broken down for your account:
That’s great - it gives me time to try and get the charity to pay. However, I don’t see a option to defer on the payment screen?

You’ll find this on the left hand side, similar to the below:
Is the charity registered with the Charity Commission too? If so, I can apply a 50% discount to the account for you. All I would need is your charity number
Apologies for that - I’ve manually activated that for you, and added your charity number. When it comes to paying, you will now be asked for the reduced amount.
I am in a similar position to this enquirer - I am a volunteer trustee, acting as Treasurer for a relatively small charity managing a local community venue and just received notification that I have to pay for continued use of Quickfile (currently deferred for 3 days). How is it best to share charity details to qualify for discount? Is it possible to make payment by cheque?
@Goldsmiths_Treasurer I have sent you a private message to get your registered charity number and your QF account number. I will activate the 50% discount as soon as I have this information, thanks.
Do you offer the same discount on Power User Subscription to Community Interest Companies (C.I.Cs), which are also non-profit distributing due to the asset lock.
The discount is available to any entity registered with the Charities Commission. If the CIC is registered with them, then we’re more than happy to apply the discount for you.
