December's QBTalks show will look at the steps for closing a client's fiscal year when you are using the new Intuit Accountant Suite 'Books Close' feature.
Murph will be joined by Anusha Natarajan, a principal product manager who has been working on the 'Books Close' feature for Intuit Accountant Suite. Murph and Anusha will discuss the steps for reviewing books, balancing financial transactions, preparing year-end reports, and ensuring QuickBooks data is ‘tax return friendly’ using tools in the new Books Close feature available to users of Intuit Accounting Suite.
Intuit Accountant Suite’s “Books Close” feature is currently in Beta and is being offered to IAS users at no additional cost (while it remains in Beta).
Books Close includes a Close Dashboard, Customizable workflows, and an AI-powered Anomaly Detection tool, Auto-update across each client’s QuickBooks file, Customized templates, and a ‘tracker’ to inform you regarding the status of each client’s close.
The new Books Close is different from the current tools found in QBO-Accountant and even those in the Intuit Accounting Suite ‘Core’ product. It provides access to your clients’ data, enabling you to close their books without opening each client’s QBO file individually.
This new offering for closing your clients’ books features a series of AI-powered anomaly detection processes that identify coding issues, as well as irregularities and variances, in balance sheet and profit-and-loss statement accounts.
With the Books Close feature, you will not only have a ‘clean’ year-end, but your QuickBooks data will be ready for the coming year.
We will have more about this new feature as we get closer to the webinar, so be sure to check back each week for the promotional feature.
