Today, Intuit is introducing the next era of Intuit Accountant Suite, built on a unified platform for businesses and accountants. With Intuit Intelligence embedded across every experience, your firm can operate more efficiently, scale your services, and unlock deeper insights for your clients.

These innovations were developed in close partnership with the accountant community and designed with what matters most to accountants in mind. They bring together your firm, your team, and your clients into one connected system. This creates a powerful network effect that enhances the relationship between you and your clients by driving faster growth, better business outcomes and more confident decision making, all while providing firms with the necessary transparency and control to preserve and strengthen the highly trusted accountant-client relationship. 

Intuit Accountant Suite has the tools to support your firm in today's evolving industry landscape powered by AI innovations. With that, QuickBooks Online Accountant will be retired in December 2026. We encourage you to move to Intuit Accountant Suite now to prepare your firm for this change. The primary admin of your firm can do so via Settings or Subscriptions and billing.

Intuit Intelligence for your firm

Intuit Intelligence brings together your firm and client data with AI to power productivity and unlock insights across workflows. It monitors performance to surface insights, flags potential risks, makes personalized recommendations for your clients, and can take action with your guidance. The result is work that is not only more efficient, but trusted and accurate, so you can confidently stand behind every recommendation. And, you get more time to focus on the strategic guidance your clients rely on most. Here’s some of what you can do with Intuit Intelligence.

• Get instant answers from AI-powered chat: Use Intuit Intelligence chat to get instant, real-time insights based on firm and client data without digging through data. Get answers right from your workflow, no switching tools required.⁴
• Clean books without heavy lifting: Let Intuit AI handle the bulk of categorization, flagging things that need your review. When you need more info from clients, send questions and view answers right in the transaction feed to streamline back and forth. 
• Compare data across your client portfolio (Coming soon to Accelerate): Compare financial data across your entire client portfolio. Ask Intuit Intelligence sophisticated questions and get immediate, real-time insights to help uncover meaningful information without extensive effort.¹
• Generate reports in seconds (Coming soon to Accelerate): Use Intuit Intelligence chat to generate specific reports like top expenses or sales trends, so you can spend less time pulling financial data and more energy on planning and advising.⁴

Efficiency redefined: Operational organization at scale

Achieving consistent, high-quality service delivery requires strong operational foundations. These tools offer your firm the ability to standardize service delivery, boost efficiency, and assign custom permissions across your practice. 

• A custom dashboard for every team member: The customizable Home dashboard surfaces daily tasks, reminders, and insights for every team member each day to help them focus on their most important work. With custom alerts, you’ll be notified immediately if a bank feed disconnects or a third-party app fails, allowing you to fix issues before they impact your month-end close.
• Organize teams and clients, your way: Assign teams and clients in bulk through custom role-based access groups that align to your firm’s structure. With all-in-one firm-wide groupings, you can easily view team and client groups.
• Go from books to tax in one place: Prepare and file returns in the same place you manage clients’ books, with Pro Tax built into Intuit Accountant Suite. 
• Close books faster at scale (beta)²: Track every month-end close from one centralized location. Get built-in collaboration with clients so you can address specific transaction questions, ensuring a unified and audit-compliant dialogue. Set thresholds, inclusions, and exclusions, enabling universal settings across your client base and removing the need for manual updates.
• Simultaneously access multiple client files (coming soon): Open multiple client files in Intuit Accountant Suite all at once in separate browser tabs simultaneously. No more closing one screen to check a figure in another.
• Streamline context gathering (coming soon): Centralize communications with clients to strengthen relationships for ongoing service delivery, without the need for third party solutions. You’ll be able to communicate directly with clients without switching context. And when clients ask AI a question that requires your expertise, there will be a smooth handoff recapping their discussion and bringing their questions straight to your attention.
