The modern QuickBooks experience is becoming the default: What you need to know.

Since the launch of the new QuickBooks experience on the Intuit Platform, businesses have been exploring a more efficient, AI-powered way of working. To ensure all users benefit from the full power of our latest innovations, the refreshed interface with Intuit AI, modern reporting and modern invoicing will become the default view and the option to switch back to the former classic version will start to be removed from March 2026.

This is more than just a layout change—it is the foundation of a modern environment that combines customizable tools with groundbreaking AI. By standardizing the experience across the platform, we are streamlining your workflow and ensuring you are always working with the most advanced tools available.

Benefits of the modern QuickBooks experience

• QuickBooks on the Intuit Platform: Simplify your workflow with proactive AI digital teammates that work behind the scenes to automate repetitive tasks while keeping you in control.
• Modern View reporting: Experience faster performance, enhanced customization, and more access controls.
• Smarter invoicing: Create, customize, and track invoices instantly with a streamlined workflow to help you get paid faster.

When the changes will be implemented

You will be transitioned to the modern experience within the timeframes set out below. We recommend making the switch at the earliest possible date to avoid any disruptions to your workflow.

• May 8: The classic platform interface will no longer be available and the modern interface will become the default.
• From May 22, the new modern reporting experience will become the default view. The option to switch back to the previous classic experience will be removed, including the ability to save new classic custom reports.
• Between March 2 and July: Classic invoicing will also be removed in stages. You may see the switch back option removed at any point during this window as we transition all users to our modern experience. For those on QuickBooks Advanced or with PayPal or GoCardless integrated, you’ll continue to be supported on the classic invoicing experience at this time.
