Intuit QuickBooks and Marcus Lemonis help entrepreneurs thrive in TV series, The Fixer

Small business ownership gives entrepreneurs the unique opportunity to work for themselves and pursue their passions. But as any business owner knows, the journey isn’t always easy. As a successful entrepreneur, Marcus Lemonis is no stranger to the challenges business owners face – they’re ones he’s successfully navigated in his own journey. A passion for empowering other business owners to thrive is what drives Lemonis in his new reality series, The Fixer. 

Premiering this July on Fox, The Fixer follows Lemonis as he meets with small business owners across the U.S. to provide expertise, mentorship, and help take their companies to the next level of success. The Fixer provides a candid look at the ups and downs of small business, and what it takes to thrive in business ownership. As he guides entrepreneurs in their next steps toward growth, Lemonis shares his signature philosophies and critical tools he trusts to help him make smart decisions. 

One of those tools is Intuit QuickBooks, the all-in-one platform Lemonis relies on for critical business insights. The small businesses featured on The Fixer are each navigating a unique set of real-life challenges. In each episode, Lemonis shares ways QuickBooks provides solutions to the challenges faced by the businesses he works with, and others like them.
