Check out these exciting updates to QuickBooks

Our newly released offerings and product innovations are now available and designed to help your business thrive at every stage of growth. From expert assistance to automated tools, here are some new features we’ve added for all online QuickBooks customers:

Get insights, automate tasks, and save time with AI

Managing a business and staying on top of your cash flow is hard. We’re supercharging QuickBooks with the power of AI, automating tasks to save you time, providing insights on your cash flow, and helping you get paid faster. 

1. Intuit Assist for QuickBooks is our new generative AI-powered assistant currently in beta that is revolutionizing how you can easily stay on top of your cash flow. Intuit Assist for QuickBooks turns a photo of a receipt into a categorized transaction, translates vendor PDFs into bills, and automates the creation of invoices by extracting email correspondence or handwritten notes. In addition, it automatically flags invoices that are coming due and drafts reminders for you to review and send.

2. AI-powered Accounting: With the power of AI and automation, QuickBooks takes the tedious work out of bookkeeping, enabling you to spend less time on manual work and more time on growing your business. QuickBooks combines the power of your oversight with the ability to learn how you categorize income and expenses so over time it auto-matches and categorizes your transactions for you. It’s like having an assistant who’s always working in the background. The result: customers save 30 hours per month on average** thanks to QuickBooks’ ability to automatically categorize transactions, income, and expenses and match bill payments to payroll and payments. 

Confidently manage your business with guidance from experts

Your books should be organized, accurate, and ready for tax time; but if you’re like a lot of business owners, you may be feeling less than confident that all the details are correct. QuickBooks is here to help with two new expert-driven services.

1. QuickBooks Live Expert Assisted gives you peace of mind with unlimited access to trusted QuickBooks experts who can answer bookkeeping questions and provide tax resources so you have more time for what matters most.  

2. QuickBooks Live Tax allows you to file business taxes with confidence. With unlimited, on-demand help available throughout the year and backed by our 100% Accurate, Expert Approved Guarantee*, experts can identify industry-specific tax credits, maximize deductions, and save you time at year’s end.

An integrated product platform at the center of small business growth

From starting up to scaling up, we’re dedicated to providing a full picture of your business on one platform that meets the needs of businesses of all sizes. Through our connected QuickBooks products and services, you save time and effort and keep more money in your pocket.

Supporting your momentum as you gain traction and prepare to hire

Even if your business is somewhat new, it's gaining momentum. You’ve got more things to track and you’re thinking about hiring help. QuickBooks Online Simple Start or Essentials can help you as you’re getting started. Both products are designed to save you time, help you stay on top of your cash flow, and be prepared for tax time. Each also has a new, simplified bill management system that organizes and tracks bills and a new automated sales tax feature that identifies when special tax rates are needed on items. And for Schedule C filers, a new, at-a-glance tax estimate dashboard helps you plan for tax time. 

Ready to help get you to the next level

If your business is growing fast, has a high volume of transactions, and complex needs, you’re ready for QuickBooks Online Plus. It helps you manage your business from one place and have access to robust tracking and planning tools to better prepare for continued growth. 

Plus now includes budgets and forecasts capabilities that use up-to-date performance data, providing cash flow insights to help make more-informed business decisions. Product-based businesses can also benefit from the new, fully-integrated, inventory management features that track inventory and order workflows with automated accounting across sales channels and simplified product variant integration. 

Growing with you as you scale in size and complexity 

Larger small businesses need a more flexible solution as they grow in size and scale in complexity. QuickBooks Online Advanced meets those needs with new automated, advanced accounting tools, expanded roles-based access controls for matrixed teams, and customizable views that enable quick, confident decision-making. 

New accounting tools include automated workflows that route approvals based on a set of conditions, automated fixed asset tracking, and the ability to gauge project-level performance and profitability. Advanced also includes robust reporting and budget management capabilities, connecting real-time business data with Excel through Spreadsheet Sync.

And now with all the data-rich insights and reports, you can customize the business overview dashboard with charts to spot trends and help prioritize your work. 

Manage and pay your team with confidence

Paying your team is serious business. You need to be confident that your payroll is delivered accurately and on time. You also need a platform that streamlines employee management and makes it easy to provide benefits that help you retain top talent.     

QuickBooks Online Payroll provides businesses with a seamless workforce solution that simplifies the complex world of Human Capital Management (HCM), providing access to payroll, time tracking, HR, and employee benefits in one place. 

New and improved features include a deeper integration between QuickBooks Payroll and QuickBooks Time, advanced payroll cost allocation, bulk pay item management, an HR hub for employee record management, and benefits, including a new healthcare partnership with Allstate Health Solutions.
