Cancellation Reckon: Easy Method
What is Reckon
What you are actually subscribing to
Reckon is an Australian subscription software company focused on accounting, payroll, invoicing, and business reporting for small and mid-sized businesses. Its main office is in North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and its cloud product Reckon One is sold as a recurring monthly service rather than a one-time software purchase.
If you are in the Philippines, the truth is Reckon can feel a bit foreign in day-to-day use because support hours follow Australian Eastern Standard Time and no Philippines office was identified. That matters when you want to cancel fast, especially if you are trying to stop a charge before your next billing date.
Main features users pay for
Most paying users subscribe for practical business tools such as invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, payroll, budgeting, and financial reports. Reckon One is built around a "book" system, and the cancellation path in the customer portal is tied to the specific book you want to stop using (help.reckon.com).
Reckon also offers payroll-focused plans, which can matter if you only need salary processing and not full accounting. If you are paying every month but only using invoicing or simple expense logs, you may be overpaying for features like advanced reporting or budgeting that sit in higher plans.
How Reckon behaves for users in the Philippines
For Philippine users, pricing is published in US dollars and needs conversion to pesos. Based on the available pricing data, plans range from $12.00 (₱678) per month up to $35.00 (₱1,978) per month, before any location-based tax adjustments.
Local support details are limited. No live chat was identified, and the published support channels are phone at 1800 732 566 and email at [email protected], available Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM Australian Eastern Standard Time. That time gap is one of the most common frustrations for Philippine users who need urgent billing help.
How to cancel Reckon without getting charged again
Checks to do before you click cancel
Many users get frustrated when cancellation feels unclear, when charges continue, or when refund requests go nowhere. Before cancelling, take five minutes to protect yourself: save your reports, export key records, note your next billing date, and capture screenshots of your current plan and active book.
This matters because Reckon says data remains in read-only mode for 7 years after cancellation (help.reckon.com). Read-only access is useful, but it is not the same as having a fully active account, so export invoices, payroll files, and anything you may need for BIR records or client audits while full access is still active.
- Log in and check which Reckon One book is active.
- Take a screenshot of the subscription page and billing details.
- Export reports, invoices, and payroll data before ending full access.
- Check whether you subscribed on the web, App Store, or Google Play.
Exact cancellation path in the web account
If you subscribed directly through the Reckon website or customer portal, the main cancellation path is inside the Reckon Customer Portal. Log in, locate your Reckon One book, click the three dots on that book tile, choose Settings, then click the pencil icon next to "Cancel your subscription" (help.reckon.com).
Reckon then asks for a cancellation reason and optional feedback. After that, click "Cancel subscription" and wait for the confirmation message that tells you when full access will end. Save that screen immediately because it is your best proof if a later billing dispute comes up.
If you change your mind before full access ends, Reckon says you can click "Restart subscription." Once full access has already ended, the option changes to "Resubscribe," which means you go through the subscription flow again instead of simply undoing the cancellation (help.reckon.com).
If you want the official support article open while doing it, use Reckon's cancellation help page. Having the article beside you reduces the chance of stopping the wrong book or missing the final confirmation screen.
How to cancel if you paid through App Store or Google Play
Reckon also provides cancellation steps for mobile store subscriptions. If your payment is handled by Apple, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, go to Subscriptions, choose your Reckon subscription, then tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm (help.reckon.com).
If your payment is handled by Google Play, open Google Play Store, tap the menu icon, choose Subscriptions, select your Reckon subscription, then tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm. Heads up: if you subscribed through Apple or Google, deleting the app alone will not stop the recurring charge.
The common mistake here is using the wrong channel. A web subscription must be cancelled in the Reckon portal, while an App Store or Google Play subscription must be cancelled inside that store billing system. If you pick the wrong route, your account may still renew on the next billing date.
Phone, email, and postal backup options
If the self-service route fails, you can contact Reckon support by phone at 1800 732 566 or by email at [email protected]. Published hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM Australian Eastern Standard Time, so many users in the Philippines will find the schedule inconvenient for same-day help.
For hosted account issues, Reckon also publishes a support page at Reckon Accounts Hosted cancellation help. If you need a paper trail, you can also send a registered letter to the company address in Australia. Some people now use digital registered-mail services such as Postclic because they provide timestamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening without going to the post office.
After you cancel, here is what changes in your account
How long full access stays active
Reckon states that after you confirm cancellation, a message appears telling you when your full access will end (help.reckon.com). In plain language, that means your subscription does not necessarily shut off that second. You usually keep full access until the already-paid billing period expires.
If you cancel on March 10 and your next billing date is March 25, the practical expectation is that full access continues until that later date shown in your confirmation message. Always rely on the actual date in the portal screen, not memory, and save a screenshot before closing the page.
What happens if you do nothing
Reckon's available help materials do not clearly spell out the auto-renewal clause in full contract language, but the service is sold as a monthly subscription product. In real use, if you do not cancel before the next billing cycle, the safest assumption is that billing continues on the recurring schedule tied to your active plan.
This is why your billing date matters more than the date you stop using the software. Many users think not logging in is enough, but SaaS billing does not work that way. If the subscription is still active in the portal, App Store, or Google Play, charges can continue.
Your data after cancellation
One useful detail from Reckon's help documentation is that your data remains in read-only mode for 7 years after cancellation (help.reckon.com). That is much better than immediate deletion, especially for businesses that may need historical invoices or accounting records for tax and audit purposes.
Still, read-only mode is not full working access. Export your important records before cancelling, especially payroll files, customer lists, invoice histories, and core reports. If you later resubscribe, access can resume, but you should not rely on that as your only backup plan.
Reckon refund policy and the reality for Philippine users
What Reckon says about refunds
Reckon's published cancellation help is blunt: no refund after cancellation, including for unused time (help.reckon.com). Based on the available policy data, this applies to general cancellation, unused periods, and even billing error scenarios listed in the research set.
That means most users should assume there will be no pro-rated refund if they cancel halfway through a monthly cycle. The practical move is to cancel before the next billing date, use the remaining paid period, and keep the confirmation page in case another charge appears later.
How Philippine consumer rights fit in
In the Philippines, subscription disputes are generally handled under the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394, through the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI. For online subscriptions, there is no universal statutory cooling-off period clearly guaranteed across all digital services, while door-to-door or direct sales can have a 7 working day cooling-off period.
For Reckon specifically, the available company materials do not specify a cooling-off period or a withdrawal right. So if you simply changed your mind after a normal online signup, you should not expect an automatic refund. If the issue is an unauthorized or continued charge after cancellation, that is a stronger complaint path through DTI or your payment provider.
How to request a refund anyway
If you believe the charge is wrong, start with a written request to [email protected]. Include your account email, plan name, amount charged, billing date, the last four digits of the card if relevant, and a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
Written complaints usually work better than a rushed phone call because you create a dated record. One user review specifically said written tickets were more precise than phone support because staff could be held to account for the answer given (TrustPilot).
- Send an email with subject line "Refund request for continued charge after cancellation".
- Attach the cancellation screenshot and the bank or card statement line.
- Ask for written confirmation of the refund decision.
- If you paid through App Store or Google Play, file the request through that billing channel too.
Chargeback, bank disputes, and e-wallet disputes
If Reckon does not resolve an unauthorized or continued charge, Philippine users can ask their bank, credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya for a dispute or chargeback. Under BSP complaint rules used by many issuers, cardholders typically have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction, so do not wait too long.
For store-billed subscriptions, Apple and Google have their own billing records, and refund handling may sit with them instead of Reckon. If your direct bank dispute is needed, send the issuer your cancellation proof, statement copy, and any email trail with Reckon. DTI can also take consumer complaints for online subscriptions under RA 7394 if the merchant response is unsatisfactory.
Reckon subscription terms that affect cancellation
What is clear in the published terms data
The most concrete term currently available is data retention: after cancellation, data remains in read-only mode for 7 years (help.reckon.com). That is the clause with the biggest practical impact because it tells you your records are not immediately erased once billing stops.
Another clear point is cost on exit. No cancellation fee was found in the published cancellation help, and no early termination fee was identified in the research data. So if you are leaving, the main financial risk is the next recurring charge, not a separate penalty fee.
What Reckon does not clearly specify
The available terms data does not clearly specify auto-renewal wording, minimum commitment duration, free trial conversion terms, applicable law, or dispute resolution details. That lack of detail is frustrating because these are exactly the points users look for when they want to cancel cleanly.
In practice, treat Reckon as a recurring monthly service and act before your next billing date. Since the missing terms details do not help you, your best protection is evidence: screenshots, confirmation emails, exported records, and a calendar reminder set a few days before renewal.
Reckon plans and pricing in the Philippines
Current monthly plans and peso equivalents
Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Period | Main use |
|---|---|---|---|
Accounting Essentials | $12.00 (₱678)* | Monthly | Basic accounting |
Accounting Plus | $20.00 (₱1,130)* | Monthly | Budgeting and reports |
Accounting Premium | $35.00 (₱1,978)* | Monthly | Full feature suite |
Payroll Essentials | $12.00 (₱678)* | Monthly | Up to 4 staff |
Payroll Plus | $25.00 (₱1,412)* | Monthly | Up to 10 staff |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate 1 USD ≈ 56.5 PHP. Check the official website for exact local prices, taxes, and any updated billing terms.
Which plans cost the most and least
The least expensive listed plans are Accounting Essentials and Payroll Essentials at $12.00 (₱678) per month. The most expensive is Accounting Premium at $35.00 (₱1,978) per month, nearly three times the entry-level cost.
If you only need invoicing, expense tracking, and basic bookkeeping, Essentials may be enough. If you moved into Plus or Premium for one project and never scaled back, cancellation or downgrading can save real money over a year, especially for a small Philippine business watching software overhead closely.
Billing notes worth checking before you stay subscribed
The verified data here only confirms monthly pricing, not annual discounts. There is also a note that pricing may vary by location and taxes, and one source note references Accounting Plus at $24 per month, so published prices may change over time.
No hidden cancellation fee was found. The bigger issue is paying for a plan level you no longer use, then discovering too late that Reckon does not refund unused time after cancellation.
Your rights in the Philippines if a Reckon cancellation goes wrong
The laws and agencies that matter
For Philippine users, the main consumer protection rule is the Consumer Act of the Philippines or Republic Act No. 7394, with complaints generally handled by DTI. If your issue is not just poor service but an unwanted or continued charge after cancellation, DTI is the public agency most relevant to your case.
For payment disputes, BSP rules matter through your bank or card issuer. If a card, GCash, or Maya charge appears after you already cancelled, you can file a payment dispute and attach your proof. In plain terms, RA 7394 helps with the consumer complaint, while BSP-related dispute handling helps with the payment reversal side.
Cooling-off and withdrawal rights in plain language
In the Philippines, a 7 working day cooling-off period is recognized for certain door-to-door or direct sales arrangements. For ordinary online subscriptions like Reckon, there is no clearly defined universal cooling-off right that automatically gives a refund for simple change of mind.
That means your strongest argument is not "I changed my mind" but "I was charged after cancelling" or "the billing was unauthorized." Reckon's own materials do not specify a cooling-off period, so the practical protection comes from prompt cancellation, written proof, and fast dispute filing if billing continues.
How to file a complaint with DTI
If Reckon support does not solve the issue, prepare a short complaint file with your name, account email, charge amount, transaction date, cancellation date, and screenshots. Include the email trail with [email protected] and your bank statement line showing the disputed charge.
Send the complaint through DTI consumer channels and keep copies of everything. Be direct and factual: state that you cancelled on a specific date, attach the confirmation, and explain that the recurring charge still posted after that date under RA 7394. That kind of timeline is much easier for agencies and issuers to evaluate.
Useful authority contacts
For consumer complaints, start with DTI. For payment disputes involving cards and e-wallets, your bank, GCash, Maya, or card issuer is the direct first stop, with BSP as the wider financial regulator if the complaint escalates.
What customers say about support and cancellation friction
Overall verdict from the available feedback
Based on the review set provided here, the cancellation experience looks more difficult than it should be, mainly because support quality and communication are inconsistent. The sentiment snapshot is 0 positive and 2 negative out of 2 unique reviews, so the small sample leans clearly negative.
For Philippine users, the local pain points line up with that pattern: time zone differences can make support hard to reach, and there is no identified local support hub. Even when the self-service cancellation path exists, users may still need support if billing, hosted accounts, or account access issues get in the way.
Recurring themes in user feedback
Theme | Frequency | Typical example |
|---|---|---|
Support inconsistency | High | Incorrect answers by staff |
Phone difficulty | Medium | Poor overseas connection |
Written tickets help | Medium | Email gives clearer record |
Sources summary
Source | Rating | Number of reviews |
|---|---|---|
TrustPilot | 5/5 | 1 |

Individual user comments worth noting
- "I had issues that I could not correct myself. The amazing, Shabnam, went through my problems and helped me more to understand my 'Hosted' Account. I now am confident to work this Program properly" (TrustPilot)
- "There are some great aspects to Reckon. It is well priced, the set-up is intuitive... The BIG disappointment though is the support staff... The only solution to this is to submit a ticket in writing" (TrustPilot)
So the fair reading is mixed on product usability, but weak on support consistency. Even with only negative-labeled sentiment data, there are still positive product notes in the second quote: good pricing and intuitive setup. That balance matters if you are deciding whether to cancel fully or just switch plans.
Documents to collect before and after cancellation
What to save before cancelling
Before you cancel, gather proof that shows what you were paying for and when the next charge was due. The minimum file set should include a screenshot of the active plan, the billing date, the account email, and the specific Reckon book tied to the subscription.
- Screenshot of the subscription settings page
- Screenshot of the current plan and price
- Exported invoices, reports, and payroll files
- Copy of your latest billing receipt
What to save for a refund or dispute
If you are asking for a refund or preparing a chargeback, transaction evidence is everything. Save the exact amount charged, the transaction ID if available, the statement date, and the cancellation confirmation message shown by Reckon.
- Bank or card statement line
- App Store or Google Play receipt if relevant
- Email to support with date and time
- Screenshot showing cancellation confirmation
Mistakes that commonly lead to extra charges
Cancelling in the wrong place
The most common error is trying to cancel in the Reckon portal when the subscription is actually billed by Apple or Google. In that scenario, the account may look inactive in one place while the app store keeps charging monthly because the store subscription is still live.
The fix is simple: match the cancellation route to the billing route. Web purchase means Reckon portal. App Store purchase means App Store subscriptions. Google Play purchase means Google Play subscriptions.
Expecting a pro-rated refund
Another common mistake is cancelling halfway through the month and expecting money back for the unused days. Reckon's policy says no refund after cancellation, including unused periods, so relying on a pro-rated refund is likely to end in frustration (help.reckon.com).
A better approach is to cancel before the next renewal date and use the remaining paid period to export records and wrap up pending invoices. That avoids both wasted time and a likely rejected refund request.
Closing the page without saving proof
Users often click cancel, see the confirmation, and move on without taking a screenshot. That is a problem if another charge appears later because your strongest evidence is the date shown on the cancellation confirmation page.
Take screenshots of the final confirmation, any email acknowledgment, and the support ticket if you contacted customer service. Save them in one folder with your billing receipts so you can react quickly within the 60 day dispute window many issuers use.
Waiting too long to contact support
Because support follows Australian hours, Philippine users sometimes delay until the charge has already settled and the dispute clock is running. If you see a suspicious charge, contact support that same day by email and call if needed during available hours.
Written contact is often better for complex cases. One review specifically said written tickets were more reliable than phone replies when support answers were unclear (TrustPilot).
A quick comparison of Reckon cancellation methods
Method comparison table
Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
Web/account | Before next billing | No fee found | Easy |
App Store (iOS) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
Google Play (Android) | Before next billing | No fee found | Medium |
Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher but strong proof |
What this comparison means in real life
The fastest route is usually the same channel that bills you. Web cancellation is the simplest if you subscribed directly, while app-store routes are fine if Apple or Google controls the payment. Registered mail is slower but useful if you want a formal paper trail for a disputed case.
No single option fits every user. If your priority is speed, use the billing channel directly. If your priority is evidence, combine cancellation with screenshots, email confirmation, and, if necessary, a written notice.
What to do after cancelling so the charge does not return
Immediate checks in the next 10 minutes
Right after cancellation, verify the account status, save the confirmation message, and set a calendar reminder for one day before and three days after the next expected billing date. This takes less than 10 minutes and can save you from missing a repeated charge.
If you still have access until the end of the cycle, use that time well. Export your records, make sure your team knows the access end date, and remove Reckon from any routine business workflow before the account drops to read-only.
Watch your bank, card, GCash, or Maya activity
Monitor the next one to two billing cycles, not just the next few days. Some users only notice the problem when the statement arrives, and by then valuable dispute time has already passed.
If an unauthorized or continued charge appears, contact your issuer immediately and ask about the chargeback process. In the Philippines, banks and issuers commonly use a dispute window of up to 60 days from the statement date under BSP-related rules, so attach your cancellation screenshot and the charge line from the statement.
Alternatives if you are leaving Reckon for good
If you are moving on, a few practical options stand out. Xero starts at about ₱1,500 per month, QuickBooks Online starts at about ₱1,200 per month, and Wave Accounting is free according to the available comparison data.
Zoho Books also starts at about ₱1,200 per month and FreshBooks at about ₱1,500 per month. For small Philippine businesses that mainly need invoicing and expense tracking, Wave or Zoho Books may be enough, while Xero and QuickBooks are stronger if you want a broader accounting ecosystem.

Reckon cancellation address and when to use it
Physical address on file
If you want to send a written cancellation notice or formal complaint by post, use the company address below:
- Level 12, 65 Berry Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060, Australia
This is not the fastest way to stop billing for a normal Reckon One subscription. For most users, the online account route or the original billing platform is much faster and easier to document.
When a postal notice makes sense
A postal notice is most useful when you cannot access your account, support is not responding, or you want extra proof for a dispute file. If you do send one, include your full name, account email, subscription name, cancellation date requested, and a short statement asking them to stop further billing.
For everyday cancellations, the online process is the practical choice. Use the address as a backup path, not your starting point, unless your case has already become a billing dispute.
