What's New for QBO-Advanced

Intuit has just announced an expansion of Intuit Intelligence₁ with new AI-powered capabilities for QuickBooks Online Advanced. You will find enhancements to Intuit Enterprise Suite outlined in The ERP Update.

Intuit's new Intuit Intelligence Chat₂ is a conversational experience that uses a customer's unique business data to deliver personalized insights, recommendations and actions.  It's just one of the new features users of QuickBooks Online Advanced will find in this all-in-one financial platform built for their growing industry-specific businesses. 

The enhancements for QBO-Advanced are designed around serving mid-market businesses by providing data that makes confident decision making faster and without compromising control or clarity.  Ashley Still, EVP and GM, Small Business and Mid-Market, for Intuit said, “Finance teams need AI they can stand behind when asked how a number was reached,” she went on to say, "Our latest innovations give finance leaders the industry-specific depth and instant insights they've been asking for, built into the way they already work.”

QuickBooks Online Advanced now folds bill pay, payments, business intelligence, and AI-driven bookkeeping directly into the core subscription, giving growing businesses a single financial tech stack instead of a patchwork of tools.

Books Upkeep, a new AI-powered service, runs continuously throughout the month, keeping books current and materially shortening the close. Intuit Intelligence resolves high-confidence transactions automatically under rules the customer sets and surfaces only the exceptions that need a human decision, with every automated action clearly labeled.

“We save around 16 hours a month using AI functionality and workflow automations in QuickBooks Online Advance,” said Logan Wright, General Manager, Select Door & Hardware.

Bill Pay Elite¹ adds a full accounts payable hub with unlimited free ACH⁴ and 1099 e-filing⁵, now included at no added subscription cost.

New built-in business intelligence and reporting suite gives finance teams a real-time view of the business. Redesigned KPI scorecards track revenue, margin, and cash with class filtering and drill-down detail views, updating automatically as the books change and feeding directly into dashboards, management reports, and AI insights across the platform. Conversational forecasting lets finance teams query variances, run scenarios, and generate board-ready commentary in plain language.

In a recent survey, 83% of QuickBooks Online Advanced customers said the platform gives them the data they need to make better decisions.

Industry depth now reaches businesses from fast-growing operations to complex, multi-entity organizations, with workflows, reports, and KPIs built around the financial realities of specific industries. Construction: Intuit's deepest industry investment to date, is now available to QuickBooks Online Advanced at no extra charge. The most recent enhancements now give construction businesses real-time project profitability tracking and AI-generated estimates that catch budget overruns before they erase margin.
