Here’s what’s new in QuickBooks Online for March 2026

Updates to AI-powered reconciliation

Reconciling transactions can take up a lot of your team’s time. With AI-powered reconciliation, you can accelerate the process by nearly 3 times while retaining control over the work you do.1

Previously, AI-powered reconciliation didn’t allow in-line editing, but now, you can directly edit your listed transactions. Not only that, you can directly post transactions, undo exclusions, or add new transactions into QuickBooks Online right from the list whenever the AI suggests these corrections.

Accounting AI collaboration improvements

Now in QuickBooks, your team and your accountant can assign one or more team members when requesting more info about a transaction. This will allow users replying to requests to see a secure filtered list of questions assigned to the correct person. You can also sort and filter the bank feed according to the status of existing transaction requests.

Rather than leave unassigned, ambiguous requests, you and your accountant can clarify collaboration and get more done as a team.

Parallel approval for Bill Pay workflows

You can now create workflows that better reflect the way you actually work. Rather than requiring sequential approvals, you can configure more flexible workflows that include a group of up to 5 parallel approvers. You can choose to require 1, 2, or all approvers from a group to approve. You’ll also get a detailed audit trail of approvals directly on the bill page, bill pay status page, and pending Bill Payments view.

This helps tailor the process to your needs and maintain momentum in your day-to-day work.

Expanding workforce features

Soon, QuickBooks Online Payroll Core customers will see a new employee list and updated profiles that provide better visibility into their team’s data.

Starting this summer, QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium and Elite will include a robust suite of tools designed to help growing businesses manage the entire employee lifecycle. These enhancements will allow you to handle talent pipelines, new hire onboarding, time-off requests, performance management, HR workflows, health benefits, and more—all from one centralized hub in QuickBooks Online.*

By bringing these functions under one roof, you can eliminate disparate apps, streamline administrative tasks, and reduce the manual effort required to deliver a seamless employee experience from day one.
