About Reckon
Reckon is an Australian software company that provides accounting, payroll, and business management solutions for small to medium-sized businesses, sole traders, and accounting professionals. Headquartered in North Sydney, New South Wales, Reckon offers both cloud-based and desktop products, including Reckon One (online accounting), Reckon Accounts Hosted (cloud-hosted desktop accounting), Reckon Payroll, practice management tools for accountants and bookkeepers, and add-ons such as point-of-sale and time tracking. Their software helps businesses manage invoicing, GST/BAS, bank reconciliation, payroll and STP (Single Touch Payroll) reporting, job costing, and financial reporting in compliance with Australian tax requirements.
A Reckon charge on your bank or card statement usually relates to a subscription or licence fee for one of their products or services. This could be a monthly or annual subscription for Reckon One, Reckon Accounts Hosted, or a desktop licence renewal, as well as add-ons like payroll, additional users, data files, or support plans. You may also see a charge following the end of a free trial, after upgrading your plan, purchasing training or implementation services, or adding an extra company file. In some cases, a small temporary authorization hold may appear when you update your payment details or start a trial; this should automatically drop off within a few business days.
To verify a Reckon charge, first log into your Reckon account via reckon.com and check your “Billing” or “Subscriptions” section for current plans, invoices, and payment history. Compare the date and amount on your bank statement with your Reckon tax invoice or email receipt, which is usually sent to the account owner or billing contact. If you still have questions, contact Reckon support through the Help/Support links in your product or via the support section of reckon.com, providing the last 4 digits of the card charged, the transaction date, and the exact amount. Common issues—such as charges after a trial, duplicate subscriptions under different email addresses, or annual renewals you’d forgotten about—are typically resolved by adjusting your plan, cancelling unused services, or requesting a refund in line with Reckon’s billing and refund policies.
