Question 1

What is Accountely?

Accepted Answer

Accountely is a practice platform for accounting students — think of it as a training gym for accounting. You solve real exercises (journal entries, balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, trial balances, and MCQs) and receive instant, line-by-line scored feedback aligned with IAS/IFRS standards.

Question 2

Is Accountely free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan includes all challenge types, easy and medium difficulty challenges, MCQ quizzes, the 30 Days of Accounting tutorial series, and rankings, plus milestone and tutorial-series certificates you can claim and download. You get up to 3 submissions a day with line-by-line feedback. No payment details are required to sign up.

Question 3

Which accounting standards do you follow?

Accepted Answer

All scoring engines are built around IAS/IFRS (including IAS 1, IAS 2, IAS 7, IAS 12, IAS 16, IAS 36, IAS 37, IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IFRS 16). US GAAP terminology is recognised through automatic synonym matching, so entries like "Accounts Receivable" vs "Trade Receivables" are both accepted.

Question 4

How does scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Each challenge is scored out of 100 against an expected answer, line by line: correct accounts, amounts, classifications, and structure. A score of 80 or above counts as "solved". Premium users see detailed per-line feedback explaining exactly what was wrong and why.

Question 5

What is the 30 Days of Accounting series?

Accepted Answer

A structured tutorial path: 30 daily lessons, each paired with practice challenges. Complete the series to earn a certificate. Days unlock progressively — you can have at most one unsolved day behind you before the next one locks.

Question 6

What does Premium include?

Accepted Answer

Premium unlocks hard challenges, unlimited submissions instead of three a day, and every certificate — including the ones the free plan cannot claim —. Line-by-line feedback and the expected answer come with every account, including free ones. Plans: $5.99/month, $19.99 per 4 months (17% off), or $49.99/year (30% off). See the pricing page.

Question 7

How do I cancel auto-renewal?

Accepted Answer

Go to Profile → Membership and click "Cancel Auto-Renewal". Your Premium stays active until the end of the period you paid for, then your account moves to the free plan — no further charges. You can resume auto-renewal any time before the expiry date.

Question 8

What happens to my work if I go back to the free plan?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is lost — ever. All your solved challenges (including hard ones), scores, times, submission history, rankings, and certificates stay yours and remain accessible. You only lose access to new hard challenges, unlimited attempts, and detailed feedback.

Question 9

Do you offer discounts for students or universities?

Accepted Answer

Universities and institutions get separate plans with courses, assignments, exams, and analytics — contact us for a demo. We also occasionally issue voucher codes for individual discounts.

Question 10

How are payments processed?

Accepted Answer

Payments are handled by Paddle.com, our merchant of record — a payment provider used by thousands of software companies. Your card details never touch our servers. The charge on your statement will appear from Paddle.

Question 11

Which payment methods are accepted?

Accepted Answer

Paddle checkout supports major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and, depending on your country, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Question 12

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes — within 14 days of any charge, you're entitled to a full refund, no reason required, in line with Paddle's Buyer Terms. Full details in our Refund Policy.

Question 13

How do I request a refund?

Accepted Answer

From Profile → Membership → Request a refund. You'll get a case reference (like RF-2026-0012) and a decision within 2 business days, delivered to your notifications. Approved refunds reach your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

Question 14

Will I be charged automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes — subscriptions renew automatically so your access never lapses, and your renewal date is always visible in Profile → Membership. You can switch auto-renewal off there at any time, and we notify rather than surprise: your plan and next billing date are never hidden.

Question 15

How do certificates work?

Accepted Answer

You earn certificates by completing tutorial series (like 30 Days of Accounting) and by reaching solve milestones (10, 25, 50, 100 challenges). Each certificate has a unique serial number that anyone can verify publicly — useful for CVs and LinkedIn. Milestone and tutorial-series certificates are free to claim on every plan; any other certificate is included with Premium. Progress is tracked on every account, so anything you earn is waiting for you.

Question 16

How are rankings calculated?

Accepted Answer

Solving challenges earns ranking points weighted by difficulty. Points place you on the global and country leaderboards and determine your badge level (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Crystal → Diamond). Your country is detected automatically and can be changed in your profile.

Question 17

Can I keep my profile private?

Accepted Answer

Yes — toggle "Public profile" off in your profile settings. You'll still see your own stats, but you won't appear on leaderboards or public profile pages.

Question 18

I found a bug — how do I report it?

Accepted Answer

Use the bug report button available on platform pages, or the contact form. Reports include an automatic screenshot so we can reproduce the issue quickly. Bug reports also strengthen any refund claim related to technical problems.

Question 19

Can I sign in with Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes — both registration and sign-in support Google accounts. If you registered with email first, signing in with Google using the same email links the two automatically.

Question 20

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Profile → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and submission history. If you have an active subscription, cancel auto-renewal first so no further charges occur.

Question 21

How is my data handled?

Accepted Answer

We store only what the platform needs (account details, submissions, progress) and never sell personal data. Payment data is handled entirely by Paddle. Details in our Privacy Policy.
