Intuit has announced pricing around Intuit Accountant Suite, as well as changes surrounding QuickBooks Online Accountant and the discontinuation of the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program in favor of the new 'global' Intuit ProAdvisor Program.
Last October, Intuit made several announcements about Intuit Accountant Suite and future changes planned for QuickBooks Online Accountant and the Intuit ProAdvisor Program. The following summarizes just release updates related to product availability, pricing and timelines.
Intuit Accountant Suite
Intuit Accountant Suite has two plans, a Core plan and the Accelerate plan. Both the Core and Accelerate plans are currently free while they remain in 'Beta' status. Users of these products can also add the Books Close feature to both plans at no cost while Books Close remains in 'Beta' status as well.
The Core plan includes key functionality available today in QuickBooks Online Accountant but offers a modern design and navigation. Intuit is committed to continuing to offer firms with QuickBooks clients, access to the Core plan at NO cost. The Accelerate plan and Books Close add-on feature will transition to a paid subscription offering as of May 1, 2026. The Core plan will remain free. Intuit will not switch firms onto the Accelerate plan unless they’ve opted in to that plan prior to May 1, 2026.
Intuit Accountant Suite Timeline:
April 30, 2026:
Intuit will discontinue QuickBooks Online Accountant and replace it with Intuit Accountant Suite.

Intuit will provide more details in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition to Intuit Accountant Suite. Intuit's priority is to create a seamless, positive experience for QuickBooks Online Accountant users and minimize downtown.
