At Intuit QuickBooks, quality, accuracy, and reliability are at the foundation of everything we build to ensure we’re earning the trust of our customers and saving them time. However, we’ve heard your feedback that there are opportunities to improve here. That's why, alongside our latest innovations, we've been focusing on strengthening core features and foundational experiences you depend on every day. Over the past few months, we have made meaningful updates designed to save you time and improve accuracy and reliability. 

Here's a look at our progress so far:

Smarter, more accurate matching

  • Match suggestions are ranked by confidence. We now show you which suggested matches are high-confidence. The most likely match surfaces first, so you're not scanning a list.

  • Duplicate warnings appear before you post, not after. You can stop a double entry while there's still time.

Categorization 

  • Suggestions refresh faster after you categorize a similar transaction. This is especially useful when you're moving through a batch in one sitting.

  • Clearer handling of transfers and credit-card payments. This reduces the double-counting and misclassification that tends to show up at month-end.

  • A modernized rules experience (in progress) that flags duplicate or conflicting rules instead of applying whichever one fires first.

Reports

We’ve focused on 50+ usability improvements based on customer and Accountant feedback to bring the new Reports experience on par with the Classic experience, including: 

  • Everything's readable and in order. Accounts show in standard order, section names and totals display in full, and columns stay visible as you scroll, so reports look right the first time.

  • Find and filter the way you expect. You reach the view you want faster: Ctrl + F searches across localized values, the date picker offers the range you need, and sorting works the way you'd expect.

  • Exports come out clean. Trial Balance and consolidated reports keep their totals when you send them to Excel.

Log-in Access

We heard your feedback that you were experiencing frequent log-in issues, were getting logged out too frequently, and that re-verification was too cumbersome and time-consuming. We’re rolling out changes: 

  • Reduce “account not found” errors

  • Keep securely signed in longer on the devices you trust, so you're not re-verifying every time you step away.

  • If you're ever locked out, account recovery is now more straightforward. You can verify by phone without digging up sensitive personal information to prove it's you.

Paying Bills

  • Payments no longer default to check. This reflects how bills are actually paid today.

  • Paying bills takes fewer steps: You asked for a cleaner bill-payment flow. We are improving navigation and interface friction so paying vendors takes fewer steps.

Homepage

  • Faster load times and less layout shift. More improvements are on the way.

  • A cleaner, more personalized dashboard.

  • Resizable and reorderable widgets, including bank accounts.

Faster Workflows 

  • Your data loads faster and more reliably across the core workflows you use most, like invoicing, banking, reports, and payroll.

Expanded keyboard shortcuts

  • We’ve expanded to 100+ shortcuts that span banking, lists, transaction forms, and reports. They work consistently across pages, so there's nothing to relearn as you navigate.

  • Pull up the full shortcut guide anytime. Ctrl + Alt + ? on a PC or Cmd + Option + ? on a Mac.

  • The guide is printable and updated regularly.

Reconciliation

  • Guardrails keep edited or deleted transactions from silently corrupting your books. Changes to previously reconciled transactions now trigger a warning before they throw off a beginning balance.

  • Undo Reconcile is available to any Primary Admin. You no longer need the Accountant role to correct a reconciliation.

Vendor management

  • Clearer classification makes vendors, contractors, and customers easier to tell apart.

  • The vendor list is easier to find. Vendor details stay consistent when a bill is updated from review.

Bank Feeds

  • Proactive notifications before a connection needs re-authorizing. You'll get a heads-up to reconnect on your own schedule, instead of discovering that transactions stopped flowing days ago.

Previous releases

Platform navigation & usability

  • Shortcuts at your fingertips: QuickBooks Online now supports 50+ keyboard shortcuts to help you work with fewer clicks and less switching between your mouse and keyboard. Shortcuts span Banking, Lists, Transaction Forms, and Reports — and work consistently across pages so there's no relearning as you navigate.

Invoicing & sales forms

  • Display contact details: You can now display your customer's phone number and email address directly on invoices, estimates, and other sales forms. Customize your forms to include the contact details that matter most to your business — making it easier to communicate clearly and keep everything your team needs in one place.

Vendors & payments

  • Clearer vendor remittance: Remittance Advice now clearly lists every open bill covered by a payment, so your vendors have a clear view of exactly what's been paid. This gives vendors the detail they need to apply payments accurately, reducing the need for follow-up calls and back-and-forth.

  • Improved filtering & sorting: The Pay Bills page now includes advanced filtering and sorting options — search by invoice date, vendor name, and more — and your filters stay in place even after a refresh. Finding and prioritizing what needs to be paid is now more efficient and intuitive, especially when managing a high volume of bills.

Inventory & purchase orders

  • Streamlined order fulfillment: You can now create a Purchase Order directly from a Sales Order in a single step — simply click "Convert to purchase order" at the bottom right of the Sales Order page. This makes it easier to track inventory commitments, fulfill customer orders accurately, and keep your purchasing and sales workflows connected from start to finish.

Reporting

  • Reports your way: Export reports that reflect what you see on screen. Simply click the caret icon next to any account or sub-account to expand or collapse it before exporting, so your stakeholders receive a polished, focused report — with the level of detail you want them to see.

  • Refreshed "modern view" reporting: The new "modern view" of reports in QuickBooks Online combines the familiarity of "classic view" with the intelligence and power of "modern view" — helping you work faster, smarter, and with more confidence.

  • Usability Improvements:

    • To make scanning your banking data even easier, we’ve introduced features like column freezing, zebra-striping for improved row distinction, green color indicators for matching transactions, and text wrapping for key details.

    • If you’re using the new AI-powered bank feed, you can now view up to 300 transactions per page (up from 50) without slowing down your experience. This increases efficiency, especially for customers who frequently analyze or review large volumes of transactions.
