QuickBooks foundational updates based on your feedback

Investing in reliability

The more QuickBooks does for your book of business, the more you need dependable workflows and tasks that are ready when you are. These include the following:

• Bank connections that stay put, sync more reliably, stay authorized through data refreshes, and trigger proactive notifications so you can resolve them to keep transactions flowing.
• A clearer home base, with a home screen that’s quicker to scan and move around, enhanced bookmarks for your most-used reports, and a new global panel that puts key tools within reach.
• Mobile that keeps up with you, including more reliable bank connections, more accurate trip and mileage tracking, smoother invoicing, and smarter receipt capture.
• Reporting you can count on, with debit/credit columns you can toggle on transaction reports, prompts to refresh reports in one click, and groupings you can expand and collapse in your Balance Sheet and P&L Excel exports.

Sharpening focus on accuracy

For cleaner books and the confidence to let QuickBooks do more for your firm and clients, you need complete trust in the accuracy underneath it all.

• Reconcile faster with less manual work by having Intuit Intelligence automatically match clients’ transactions, and flag any discrepancies between the books and bank.**
• Post payroll correctly to your books without extra work,** plus record and file taxes for past paychecks right in QuickBooks.
• Streamlined deposits and payouts, plus refunds that are easier to complete and automatically default to the original payment method.
• An accurate and intuitive modern reporting experience with less friction and more insight, including budget reports that match your expectations, customizations that stay put, and automatic detection of the correct prior period during comparisons.

QuickBooks Online Advanced updates

This release moves forward in multiple areas: 

Inventory: accurate cost, down to the unit

• With units of measure, your client can buy in bulk, sell by the unit, and handle conversion automatically.
• Inventory value adjustments let your client correct an item’s dollar value without affecting its quantity; no more journal entries needed.
• Inventory reports now display data grouped by vendor, so your client can see exactly what to reorder and from whom, plus how long stock has been sitting and skip manually combining reports.

Desktop migration**: more moves with you

• Multilevel job/sub-project structures migrate into Projects in Advanced, instead of flattening into sub-customers, so clients can keep job hierarchy intact (beta**).
• When migrating from Desktop, multiple billable expenses combine into one clearly labeled invoice line to provide far more clarity on both sides.
• Your client can select from a customer’s multiple shipping addresses directly on the invoice, to ensure they’re billing to the right location while avoiding manual workarounds.

Clean up client books faster with Chart of Accounts cleanup

Cleaning up a new client’s books can require repetitive, cumbersome, and manual work to rearrange the chart of accounts and reclassify a large volume of transactions to align with a new structure. Now, you can quickly get to clean financial reports, better recommendations from Intuit Intelligence, and higher-value client service faster by using Chart of accounts cleanup. 

When you choose this option, you’ll see a cleanup plan before the process begins. You stay in control of reviewing and approving the plan, and the cleanup will only touch records outside of closed books periods.

Chart of accounts cleanup can help you:

• Consolidate the chart of accounts. The cleanup process will identify redundant accounts in the Chart of accounts. It will then add the vendor to each transaction, move the transactions into one account, and inactivate the old accounts. It can also house related accounts under a parent account, and lock the parent so new transactions post to the subaccounts.
• Fix duplicates. Cleanup will group accounts that track the same thing. You pick which account to keep, and QuickBooks moves transactions into the account you’re keeping. It will separate accounts when there’s a tax reason to do so, such as those for fully-deductible vs. partially-deductible meals.
• Inactivate, rename, and change account type. QuickBooks finds accounts that haven’t been used in years and suggests inactivating them. It also fixes capitalization, spelling, and stray symbols so names match the rest of the chart of accounts. You’ll also be able to review and approve suggested account types and detail types when an account has been set up incorrectly.
• Respect closed books by default. Transactions before your closed books date aren’t touched, so financial statements you’ve already finalized stay intact. You can choose a different date if needed.
• Use the new Chart of accounts edit mode. Drag-and-drop accounts to create parents and subaccounts. Quickly edit account names, types, and detail types in one screen.

Firm-side Bill Pay approval workflows

Per client engagement, you can add members of your team as eligible approvers on a client’s existing payment approval workflow. 

This builds upon the existing client-level approval infrastructure in QuickBooks that includes:

• Bill Clerk, Bill Approver, and Bill Payer roles.
• Approval groups of up to 7 people.
• Your choice of either sequential or parallel approval paths.
• Automatic routing you can customize based on bill amount or vendor.

These new capabilities let you widen your pool of potential approvers—while upholding the governance you need—to keep payments on track and cash flow up-to-date.

QuickBooks’ partner SimpleClosure helps clients close state payroll tax accounts

Help ensure compliant closure of state payroll tax accounts and avoid fines by taking advantage of our partnership with SimpleClosure inside the QuickBooks Workforce cancellation flow.

Business owners may not fully understand that payroll tax accounts can remain open even after active payroll payments stop. This discrepancy can result in unexpected filing requirements, notices, fees, and penalties.

SimpleClosure can help you and your clients manage closure of these accounts, whether due to operational changes like workforce restructuring or closing operations in a specific state. For businesses that plan to dissolve, SimpleClosure can handle it with services to address the 95+ moving parts of a shutdown.
