Is RQ free for ICAEW members?

Category: ICAEW & RQ

Yes. RQ is an ICAEW Business Partner, and ICAEW member firms can access a free version of the RQ app. This is not a trial - it is a permanently free tier available to firms that hold ICAEW membership. The free version includes core referral management features: creating and tracking referrals, capturing client consent, recording fee disclosure, and maintaining an audit trail. This is designed to help firms meet their DPB compliance obligations without any cost. For firms that need additional features - such as advanced reporting, Compass (client needs analysis), fee-sharing management, and integrations with tools like Outlook, HubSpot, or Xero - paid plans are available, scaling based on firm size. Contact us at rq.app/contact for pricing details. The ICAEW partnership reflects a shared goal: helping accountancy firms manage referrals properly, with the right compliance safeguards in place. ICAEW recognised that many of their member firms were handling referrals informally, which created regulatory risk. RQ provides a structured alternative. To access the free version, visit refer.rq.app/sign-up and register with your firm's details. There is no credit card required and no time limit on the free tier.
