Intuit Accountant Suite Accelerate and Books Close available in beta

Earlier this year, we launched Intuit Accountant Suite Core, the new AI-powered suite designed by accountants and built by Intuit, as the next generation of QuickBooks Online Accountant. Firms have been using this all-in-one, AI-powered suite of tools to serve clients and increase their productivity.

You can now experience premium options in Intuit Accountant Suite Accelerate, with beta access currently available at no additional cost. With Accelerate, you get access to Client Insights and an overview of all your clients, complete with customizable views and segments, so you can surface the right insights and key benchmarks in one place. In addition, AI agents monitor your entire client portfolio, proactively identifying important trends for you across financial KPIs, payroll data, AP/bill pay data, and more.

You can also get beta access to Books Close to help speed your month-end process and spot issues faster. Books Close is available in the Intuit Accountant Suite Core and Accelerate plans to streamline your review and close process with AI-powered anomaly detection. Edits you make using Books Close will automatically update your client’s data across each of their QuickBooks files.

With these new capabilities, your firm can count on Intuit Accountant Suite to streamline more operations, and make faster, more confident business decisions.

If beta access is available to your firm, your admin users of QuickBooks Online Accountant or Intuit Accountant Suite can select Settings, ⚙, then Subscriptions and Billing, Firm Subscription, and choose Try Intuit Accountant Suite.

The latest updates to Intuit Enterprise Suite

Intuit Enterprise Suite delivers enterprise-grade power to help future-proof your client’s finances. It leverages AI to automate workflows and deliver real-time insights while connecting all your data—helping you close faster and plan smarter. Our latest updates focus on improved business intelligence, new and enhanced Intuit AI agents, multi-entity and dimension capabilities, all in a modernized platform experience delivering greater efficiency with enterprise-grade power.

We’re proud to share several updates in the November release, including these highlights:

• Consolidated view: Get a single dashboard for multi-entity data and safely extend access beyond admins—making it easier to share work, strengthen controls, and boost productivity as your client grows. Your client can now assign permissions to their team members (including bookkeepers and in-house accountants) to perform multi-entity tasks and view consolidated reports based on the companies they access.
• Multi-entity reporting enhancements: Get deeper insights with richer details in reports, expanded drill-down into consolidated reports, visibility into intercompany activity, and broader team access by role for more collaboration, informed decisions, and efficient processes. 
• Dynamic allocations: Rather than spending hours processing repetitive entries, your client can sum their balances and allocate them in one step with dynamic allocations to speed up month-end processes and boost productivity. Note: Intercompany account mapping must be set up before your client can use allocation capabilities.
• Dimensions on Spreadsheet sync: Clients can boost team efficiency, help ensure accurate financial reporting, and handle more data effortlessly with Spreadsheet Sync’s new dimensions functionality. Create and update dimension values for multiple transactions directly in Spreadsheet Sync and seamlessly integrate the data with Intuit Enterprise Suite. 
• AI-powered dimension recommendations: Allow a client’s team to focus on higher-priority tasks with AI-driven dimension value suggestions that minimize manual effort and improve dimensional reporting accuracy. For products, services, and fixed assets without default dimensions values, your client will get suggestions for their review and approval.
• Management reports: Turn standard financials into branded, presentation-ready packages that combine financial reports, KPIs, charts, and written insights into professional, ready-to-share packages with cover pages, branding, and executive summaries.

Bulk W-9 upload and automated 1099s

Skip manual data entry by uploading W-9 forms from vendors in bulk. You or your client can review suggested vendor or contractor matches, which they can approve to update and automatically add to their vendor data in QuickBooks.

In addition, fast-track 1099 preparation and filing by automating 1099s in QuickBooks. This AI-powered capability generates a list of vendors and their chart of accounts recommended for 1099 filing, according to IRS requirements, and drafts the 1099 forms using QuickBooks data. This simplifies and streamlines 1099 prep, so you can regain valuable time while ensuring accuracy.

Key updates we’ve made to QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks Online has added several feature updates over the past three months to enhance workflows, including these highlights:

• The QuickBooks platform navigation and usability is easier and more customizable. For example, clients can view and work in multiple tabs by selecting Open link in new tab in the bookmark flyout.
• Accounting features are faster and more accurate, such as PDF to transaction conversion that converts PDF bank statements directly into transactions ready to be posted through the bank feed.
• Clients can now create and manage bills on-the-go with the QuickBooks Online mobile app (iOS and Android).
• Streamline inventory accounting and tracking with the Moving Average Cost (MAC) inventory valuation method, now available to customers using Plus, Advanced, or the Inventory add-on.
• Clients can offer employees on-demand pay—access to a portion of their earned wages before payday—at no cost through our partnership with Clair.**

Intuit Business Credit Card alpha launch

Note: The Intuit Business Credit Card is currently in an alpha phase of development and will move into beta in early 2026. You may have clients who receive a card offer during these phases, so we wanted to inform you about the card and its benefits.

For small businesses, steady cash flow is a common challenge. Businesses short on cash often have limited access to capital, and a lack of real-time visibility and control into their spending. And, manually tracking expenses and staying on top of employee spending takes precious time away from building a business.

The Intuit Business Credit Card integrates automatically with QuickBooks’s bank feed, which means no more manual entry, broken bank connections, or managing clients’ bank passwords.

The approval process leverages your client’s data that’s already in QuickBooks, so decisions are often fast-tracked. If approved, your client would receive a credit line from $1,000 up to $50,000. A business owner can check their eligibility and get a card offer without completing a long form or adding a hard inquiry to their credit report. They can also assign free physical and virtual credit cards to employees, set monthly spend limits, and monitor their spending in real time.

The Intuit Business Credit Card has no annual fee.** It also features competitive rewards such as 5% cash back on eligible Intuit software and services and 2% cash back on all other completed purchases.** Plus, more benefits are coming online every month. By putting more money into a business owner’s pocket, this card can lower the cost of running the business and improve cash flow.

Assign access to manage third-party integrations

Your clients can now create roles that include third-party access permissions, rather than assigning admin privileges in order to delegate these responsibilities. This can save business owners costs and headaches when assigning the roles they need for their team.

Help improve client workstreams and peace of mind by assigning access for third-party integrations.
