The next chapter of accounting: Building your ideal practice with Intuit ProPartner Accountants

Introducing Intuit ProPartner Accountants: New benefits, smarter education, and a stronger community

The accounting profession is no stranger to change, and the Intuit ProAdvisor Program has been your partner through it all, offering tools, education, and resources to help you keep pace with the profession for more than 30 years. 

But in a landscape where firms are navigating rising complexity, accelerating AI adoption, and growing client expectations, keeping pace is no longer enough. While technology is a critical piece of the puzzle, the firms that succeed in the future won’t just automate repetitive tasks; they’ll use the time and insight that automation unlocks to deepen client relationships and cultivate human expertise.

Enter: Intuit ProPartner Accountants. Backed by the power of Intuit Accountant Suite, this new and improved global program represents a renewed investment in our partners, equipping firms of all sizes with the expanded benefits, future-focused education, and connected community they need to expand high-value advisory services while building their ideal firm. 

Succeeding the ProAdvisor Program in early 2027, ProPartner Accountants is built to unlock lasting success for your firm and measurable impact for the clients you serve.

Expanded benefits to build your firm

Unlock efficiency and insight—at no extra cost

Intuit ProPartner Accountants is built directly into Intuit Accountant Suite, bringing the power of the entire Intuit ecosystem into one unified experience. Whether it’s accessing all your client files and communications in one central hub, utilizing automated reminders to help your team prioritize high-impact work, or checking your firm’s tier and reward status at a glance, Intuit Accountant Suite provides the time savings and confidence to drive faster, smarter decision-making for your firm and your clients.

“I’m really excited about Intuit Accountant Suite for what it’s going to do for our firm, because we have thousands of clients on QuickBooks Online that we serve with accounting and advisory services, and we have thousands of clients in ProConnect Tax. To bring them together and be able to see our client list and Client Insights across our accounting, advisory, and our tax side of the house is going to be huge.”
K.C. Eames, director of Client Accounting Services, Dark Horse CPAs

By creating a seamless bridge between your daily workflows and your long-term goals, we’ve ensured that the operational efficiency powered by Intuit Accountant Suite translates into forward momentum. Intuit Accountant Suite gives you the insight to deliver exceptional client service; ProPartner Accountants arms you with the relationships, recognition, and resources to turn that potential into meaningful growth. 

Elevated support that speaks your language

A strong technology partner provides more than just software; they provide support built for you, which is why we are raising the bar on accountant care based on your direct feedback.

With ProPartner Accountants, we're building a dedicated support experience designed exclusively around the way accountants work. Every expert is trained in financial principles and accountant-specific workflows, so no matter when you call or who picks up, you can count on a consistent, high-quality experience from someone who truly understands your world. As your firm grows and client needs become more complex, your support scales with you. Higher tiers unlock experts with deeper specialization matched to the complexity of your work.

We’re also bringing transparency to the process with the centralized Resolution Center in Intuit Accountant Suite, allowing you to track open tickets and status updates in real time. By eliminating the need to call in for updates, we’re giving you back the most valuable asset in your practice—your time.

Note: The customer support experience varies region to region.

Fuel growth with extended revenue share

Expanded operational capacity is only the beginning. Investing in our partners means sharing in the upside, which is why we are expanding the duration of revenue sharing*, for US partners, from 12 months to three years for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll. As your firm advances in program tiers, your revenue share can increase. Firms at the top can earn up to 25% of net billings. Actual amounts depend on tier status, eligible billings, and program terms. 

For fast-growing firms, this extended investment provides a predictable capital boost that can be reinvested into your team or used to fund your transition into high-margin advisory services. By aligning our success with your success, we’re ensuring that as your clients grow, your firm’s profitability grows right along with them.

Top-tier tech to power your firm

While we’re investing in your firm’s future growth, we remain committed to the foundational value you depend on today. We believe that every firm, regardless of size, deserves access to the most powerful tools in the industry.

ProPartner Accountants continues to provide the same best-in-class software for your firm. The My Books feature in Intuit Accountant Suite enables you to use QuickBooks Online Advanced, Bill Pay Elite, Payroll Elite, and Time Tracking

In addition to Intuit Accountant Suite Core, upper tier partners will get access to free Intuit Accountant Suite Accelerate, which surfaces client insights and benchmarks while flagging anomalies for you across financial metrics, payroll data, and more. 

We’re also committed to maintaining the core benefits that anchor your practice: ProPartner firms will continue to receive the 30% ProAdvisor Preferred Pricing for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Payroll, and QuickBooks Bill Pay, as well as the direct-pay discount for clients during their first 12 months.

Education to deepen advisory acumen

We know that for a firm to truly thrive, its team must evolve alongside the industry. That’s why we’re expanding our legacy of world-class product certifications into a new era of advisory-focused education built specifically to scale with your firm.

Our enhanced curriculum moves beyond foundational software proficiency to cultivate the soft skills and critical thinking that define a modern advisor. By bridging the gap between technical accounting know-how and client-facing confidence, we’re empowering your staff to move from manual bookkeeping into higher-margin Client Advisory Services.*

“As we’ve continued to grow, it’s been exciting to invest more intentionally in our advisory services. The new Client Advisory Services training from the Intuit ProPartner program is coming at the perfect time and gives us the tools to keep strengthening client relationships and pushing our advisory department forward.”
Derek Campbell, co-founder, HighPoint CPAs

To make this transition seamless for larger teams, we’ve integrated a purpose-built Training Manager directly within Intuit Accountant Suite. Firm leaders can now easily assign learning pathways—such as AI for accountants, Communicating to build trust or Analyzing and interpreting financial reports—and track progress in real-time, ensuring your entire organization is equipped to deliver the strategic insights your clients demand.

The Resource Hub also offers a series of customizable enablement toolkits that include professionally made co-marketing materials, sales resources, and onboarding guides to help you level up your advisory practice.

Community to build your ideal firm

Building a practice requires more than just better workflows … it requires a community. From peer-to-peer mentorship to a brand new pipeline of future talent, ProPartner Accountants is designed to help connect you with the right people at every stage of your journey.

Starting summer 2026, we will be hosting in-person peer workshops and thought-leadership sessions as part of the US nationwide Better Together Tour. You’ll be able to connect with other firm leaders to exchange ideas, learn new approaches, and develop a roadmap to building your ideal firm. Our goal is for every ProPartner to have a trusted group of peers they can look to for advice and inspiration. 

We also recognize the talent shortage facing the profession, and later this year we’ll be launching a nationwide US Career Pipeline Program aiming to upskill 1 million students in accounting over the next five years. The program focuses on giving students technology and advisory skills, along with free certifications like the QuickBooks Level 1 and 2 Certifications.

Best of all, it will connect these students to ProPartners through student mentorship experiences. This isn’t just about filling roles; it’s about a shared commitment to the profession, providing the infrastructure for you to mentor, inspire, and integrate the diverse talent that will drive your firm’s next chapter while helping shape the next generation of accounting professionals.

As you get more involved with your community, we’re offering recognition and rewards through the ProPartner Accountants Awards program, shining a light on members who are innovating, giving back, and setting the standard for the modern accounting practice. Stay tuned for more details.

The human differentiator: Building the future together

As strategic partners to millions of small businesses, you do more than balance books. You shape the success of the communities you serve. While Intuit Accountant Suite provides the technology to work more efficiently and make smarter decisions, the future of the profession isn’t defined by software alone. It is defined by the people behind it: your expertise, your relationships, and the trust you build with every client.

“A firm has to plan on engaging in CAS education. If they're doing it alone, it is a very heavy lift, which is why the Intuit ProPartner Accountants program does such an effective job in helping to bridge that gap.”
Brittany Brown, CEO, LedgerGurus

Accounting has never been just about the numbers. And in a world of increasing automation, the human element isn't diminishing; it is becoming your greatest differentiator. With the launch of ProPartner Accountants, we are doubling down on our commitment to the people behind the work and the partnerships at the heart of the profession.

How to get started with Intuit ProPartner Accountants

Mark your calendar: Starting Fall 2026, we will be sharing more details of ProPartner Accountants and what your projected tier will be.

Your readiness checklist

To ensure your firm is ready for the transition from the legacy ProAdvisor Program to Intuit ProPartner Accountants, we recommend taking these three foundational steps now:

  1. Switch to Intuit Accountant Suite: ProPartner Accountants is seamlessly integrated within Intuit Accountant Suite and you are required to switch to gain access. Your primary admin can easily switch QuickBooks Online Accountant to Intuit Accountant Suite from the firm tab in billing and subscriptions, or create a new account on on our website.
  2. Verify your team’s certifications: To receive a tier higher than the member tier, at least one person in your firm must be actively certified on either: QuickBooks Online Level 1, QuickBooks Payroll, or Intuit Enterprise Suite.
  3. Consolidate consoles: To maximize the value of the program, put a plan in place  to consolidate consoles if your firm has multiple consoles. This ensures that your Projected Tier in Fall 2026 accurately reflects the full scale and value of your book of business.

An ecosystem vision to benefit you and your clients

Intuit ProPartner Accountants is just one part of a bigger picture. Intuit is building toward a broader global partner program that will bring together all our partner types under a more unified framework, strengthening the full breadth of the Intuit partner ecosystem that supports you and the clients you serve. More details to come in Fall 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be an Intuit ProPartner?

Designed for firms of all sizes, the program will be free and open to any accounting, bookkeeping or tax professional that uses Intuit products to provide services for their clients.

How do I join Intuit ProPartner Accountants?  

To become a member, you need to sign up for the free Intuit Accountant Suite. To reach a tier higher than the Member tier, your firm will have to maintain at least one active certification per year (on QuickBooks Online Level 1, QuickBooks Payroll, or Intuit Enterprise Suite) and also have at least one client on QuickBooks Online or the Intuit Enterprise Suite. Trial clients and QuickBooks Ledger clients are not eligible.

How is Intuit ProPartner Accountants different from the ProAdvisor Program?

Intuit ProPartner Accountants is an accountant partner program built natively within Intuit Accountant Suite to reward your firm’s partnership with the full Intuit platform. While the ProAdvisor Program focuses on individual software certification, ProPartner Accountants is designed to empower your entire firm through expanded rewards, future-focused education and a connected community.

When will ProPartner Accountants succeed the ProAdvisor Program?

In early 2027, Intuit ProPartner Accountants will officially launch and succeed the current ProAdvisor Program. Until then, the ProAdvisor Program remains your program of record and will continue unchanged. We are committed to a transparent transition and will provide regular updates, milestones, and guidance throughout the lead-up to the 2027 launch.

What will happen to my ProAdvisor status and badge?

In early 2027, the ProAdvisor name and tier designations will sunset, and will be replaced by the name ProPartner and its corresponding tiers: Member, Partner, Preferred Partner, Premier Partner, and Elite Partner.

How do you earn points and move up a tier?

Firms will be able to move up a tier by earning points. Points will be based on a number of activities; for example, spend by your firm and connected clients on Intuit software, certifications you complete, as well as your other activities on the Intuit ecosystem. Additional details about how to move up tier and maintain your tier will be released in Fall.

What’s not changing?

If you're currently a ProAdvisor, the launch of Intuit ProPartner Accountants will not impact discounts or revenue share for subscriptions set up prior to the ProPartner launch date. This includes the existing 30% ProAdvisor Preferred Pricing discounts for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Payroll, and QuickBooks Bill Pay, as well as the direct-pay discount for clients during their first twelve months.

Certifications and training in ProAdvisor Academy will also remain free and available to all partners.

What will happen to the Find-A-Pro Directory when Intuit ProPartner Accountants launches?

The Find-A-Pro Directory will still be available under the new program. In the future, we plan to improve the directory to make it even easier for good-fit clients to find you. For example, by allowing firm-level listings, rather than individual practitioners, and enabling prospective clients to search for firms based on practice areas and skills. Stay tuned for more updates.
