"How can I get more customers?"

Running your business is now as simple as asking a question. QuickBooks with Intuit Intelligence gives you instant answers and personalized recommendations based on your unified financials, Intuit’s powerful agentic AI capabilities, and the benefit of decades of Intuit’s trusted proprietary data.

"How’s my cash flow this month?"

"How can I reduce operating costs?"

"Am I ready to hire a new employee?"

Intuit Intelligence is already driving meaningful impact for small businesses like yours, replacing disjointed tools and workflows with a single, intelligent experience. Since launching in August 2025, over 3 million customers are now using Intuit’s AI-powered tools to streamline their day-to-day work.1

With access to human experts to supercharge the power of Intuit’s AI and data, Intuit Intelligence empowers businesses to succeed. It’s a system of intelligence that’s fundamentally improving how you run and grow your company.

What is Intuit Intelligence and how does it work? 

Intuit Intelligence provides a unified view of your business by securely connecting your accounting, payments, payroll, bill pay***, and tax data in one place. No more switching between tools or uploading spreadsheets. You get personalized insights that factor in your business’s size and industry, so the insights and strategies it suggests are relevant and reliable. And it’s strengthened by a network of CPAs, certified bookkeepers, and specialists who can review and clarify the AI's insights to ensure accuracy and provide expert-backed guidance. 74% of customers surveyed say Intuit AI gives them a better picture of their business's financial health.2

This revolutionary system of intelligence delivers insights powered by AI agents, giving you the best of both worlds: 

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) instantly gives you answers to complex business questions rooted in your financial data. Because Intuit Intelligence is built on decades of trusted proprietary data across our platform, it gets smarter with every interaction. It learns from real financial behavior, growing more contextual over time, and continuously improves the quality of the insights it delivers. 
  • Human intelligence (HI) is invaluable. Access Intuit Experts or trusted accountants for the guidance you need to move your business forward.3

Intuit Intelligence now offers:

  • Intuit Intelligence brainstorming gives you an AI-powered conversational experience (beta) to explore ideas, ask questions, and uncover opportunities using your own business data. From questions like “How can I find new customers?” to “What should I focus on next?,” you receive instant, personalized guidance and recommendations, helping you think through decisions with confidence and turn ideas into action.
  • Intuit Intelligence analytics (beta) enables you to ask precise, data-driven questions such as "Show my overdue invoices from 2025" and receive instant, visual insights grounded in the latest state of your business, along with clear next-step recommendations. 
  • Faster setup and migration with AI + HI experts: You can ask to “connect me with an expert” when it’s time for a hand-off to trusted human experts. And coming soon**, you will be able to do onboarding and migration within the Intuit Intelligence experience.

In QuickBooks you can also access powerful agentic-AI technology: including the Accounting Agent, Payments Agent, Customer Agent, Payroll Agent, and Sales Tax Agent, and the new Business Tax Agent (beta). And you get access to automations powered by Intuit AI that lead to stronger business impact, including time-saving results such as helping to close books nearly three times faster.4

Discover data-backed insights for your business

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the data your business generates, but with Intuit Intelligence, you can ask questions and get personalized insights based on your business data. Log into QuickBooks now and give it a try.

Here are just a few questions you can ask about your business: 

  • Can you summarize my profit and loss?
  • Do I have any overdue bills?
  • Am I prepared for a cash crunch?
  • Show me some commonly missed tax deductions.
  • Can you connect me with an expert?

More business tax innovations in QuickBooks

Many small business owners carry constant worries about taxes. 34% worry about making the following mistakes:5 Underpayment that triggers IRS trouble, but also overpaying and losing cash the business needs. And keeping up with complex compliance rules becomes time-consuming, especially when 43% of business owners say they taught themselves financial management.5 

This month, QuickBooks also is launching new tools to help you maximize deductions and tax savings, so you’re better prepared for tax season all year round. And we're always listening to your feedback, releasing improvements to banking, usability, data, and performance experience.

Have a simpler, smarter tax season

Deduction maximizer

The new Deduction Maximizer, part of QuickBooks Business Tax Agent (beta), is a new always-on assistant that finds and suggests ways to improve your deductions all year round. It prioritizes suggestions based on gaps in your books and highlights those extra savings. When it's time to file, the seamless integration with QuickBooks Live Tax, powered by TurboTax, allows for a smooth handoff to human experts. You’ll be tax-ready every day, not just at deadline time, saving you both time on prep and potentially money on your return. 

The Business Tax Agent streamlines year-end filing and helps businesses stay compliant, enabling 58% of businesses uncover key deductions.6

For example, if you have an expense that was paid in cash or charged to a different account than the ones linked in QuickBooks, you may not remember to add this expense. Because the Business Tax Agent knows your industry, your type of business, and your number of employees, it can suggest ‌missed deductions across relevant categories. You can then set reminders to fill in the missing information, or add a new expense.

The [Deduction Maximizer] format was very clear, organized, and easy on the eye. It also aligned with and was reminiscent of CPA tax worksheets. Recognizable, thorough, and therefore felt trustworthy.
