Assign ProAdvisor training in Intuit Accountant Suite

Designed to simplify training workflows, the ProAdvisor training manager in Intuit Accountant Suite empowers your team to stay on top and succeed. New options in Manage training allow you to assign and track your team’s progress, while giving you a bird’s eye view of your firm’s learning journey. 

This one-stop training hub helps you identify opportunities for growth and develop a culture of continuous learning. With it, your firm can transform professional development from a checkbox into a firm-wide strategy.

Opt your clients into the improved AI-powered bank feed

This new experience includes a refreshed interface with inline editing to help QuickBooks Online customers and accountants speed their process of entering transactions. AI-powered category and match suggestions are served up more accurately, and you can add attachments with drag-and-drop simplicity. In QuickBooks Online Essentials, Plus, and Advanced, you can use context-gathering features and reference new AI explanations to simplify managing unfamiliar transactions.

And to help make the entire experience a delight to use, we added nearly 100 small improvements in response to accountant feedback, including performance improvements that make the page run over 50% faster.

If your clients previously opted out of the new AI-powered bank feed, be sure to let them know about the improved experience before it becomes the default in May.

Streamlined setup for QuickBooks Bill Pay, Payments, Payroll

Your client no longer needs to enter the same information such as their EIN, SSN, or business address over and over again when they want to start using Payments, Bill Pay, or Payroll. Instead, they can proceed through one intelligent application flow and be simultaneously assessed for all eligible products.

Help your clients prepare to get paid and pay vendors in seconds, with one form.

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 your firm produces.1

Previously, AI-powered reconciliation didn’t allow in-line editing—but now, you and your clients can directly edit their listed transactions. Not only that, they 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, clients and accountants 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 clients can clarify collaboration and get more done as a team.

Parallel approval for Bill Pay workflows

You and your clients can now create workflows that better reflect the way they 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 clients’ needs and helps them maintain momentum in their day-to-day work.

Expanding workforce features

Soon, all your clients using QuickBooks Online Payroll Core 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 your clients 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.
