Running a business is more complicated than ever, and an accountant’s role in helping their clients scale appropriately is increasingly important. As a trusted advisor, accountants are crucial to their client’s success.

Intuit has solved ‌many of your clients’ needs through a continued commitment to product innovation and expanding our offerings to meet their business challenges. As your clients grow, so does their complexity—often managing multiple corporate entities, industry-specific needs, and requiring custom insights. They spend significant time switching between multiple QuickBooks accounts, third-party tools, and spreadsheets to understand what is happening across their businesses. Stitching data together and extracting the insights to drive business profitability and growth is time-consuming and painful. Existing up-market solutions tend to provide them with more than what they actually need. It's common for growing businesses to allocate significant portions of their annual budget for business management software purchases.

Intuit Enterprise Suite is a new configurable business solution for complex companies to help you grow your clients’ business beyond their books.

What is Intuit Enterprise Suite?

Intuit Enterprise Suite decreases manual, repetitive tasks with streamlined processes, boosts productivity through automation, and enables faster decisions with real-time data and visibility across multi-entity portfolios to help your clients run their business more efficiently. With the power of AI, Intuit Enterprise Suite enhances profitability end-to-end with a full set of core capabilities all in one place, including access to robust financial management and accounting capabilities; integrated payroll, payments, and bill pay; automated marketing; access to third-party apps, and a team of experts. The goal is to meet the needs of existing QuickBooks customers looking for more powerful functionality that can easily be accessed without losing the intuitive nature of Intuit’s products. It will include industry-specific customizations for construction, non-profit, and service- and project-based businesses.

Top 5 benefits that make Intuit Enterprise Suite right for your complex clients

1. Manage client portfolios in one place with multi-entity business accounting and financial management

Intuit Enterprise Suite is well-suited for complex single- and multi-entity businesses. Features such as intercompany transaction eliminations, intercompany journal entries, consolidated financial statements, and consolidated multi-entity reporting are tailor-made for multi-entity companies. What’s more, clients with multiple businesses no longer require multiple licenses. With Intuit Enterprise Suite, only one login is needed to manage the parent company and all subsidiaries in one dashboard by switching between entities from a drop-down menu.

2. Derive custom insights and intelligence through multi-dimensional reporting

Most businesses need to understand their financial profit and loss reports both at the company level and by specific attributes, such as location, product type, or customer type, to understand their growth trends. Multi-dimensional reporting in Intuit Enterprise Suite provides an efficient method to set up and partition data by custom dimensions. The dimensions can be attributes such as departments, locations, business units, customer/vendor/employee segments, revenue category, and product types. You can create up to 20 custom dimensions with unlimited values in up to five levels of hierarchy. You can also tag line items, and accounts payable and receivable transactions at the transaction level and/or line items by custom dimensions for granular reporting analysis.

3. Connect projects to profits with project financials

Project-based businesses benefit from solutions that provide insights into costs, revenue, and profitability at different stages of the project, per project, and across projects. With Intuit Enterprise Suite, you can easily manage project profitability with advanced project management features, including real-time project profitability. These include:

• Calculating labor costs with QuickBooks Online Payroll.
• Creating and customizing project workflows and templates to automate reminders and other project tasks.
• Change orders management with client approval workflow. 
• Task management per project and expanded workflows for project managers role.
• AI-generated Project 360-degree insights.

You’ll get project reports, such as cost to complete, budget vs. actuals, work in-progress, and unallocated amounts. Intuit Enterprise Suite also flags off-target projects and provides recommended actions to get back on track.

4. Drive performance with actionable financial insights

FP&A is a critical component in many growing businesses to build budgets and predict future revenues, expenses, profits, and cash flows. Strategic financial planning, analyzing, budgeting, and forecasting is crucial to build actionable insights to support the decision-making process for the business. The keys to this planning process include gathering data from financial statements and different business units, building forecasting models, creating budget plans, and running in-depth analysis and reporting.

Intuit Enterprise Suite provides AI-generated forecasts to predict two years into the future based on the past five years of financial data. Partition budgets by custom dimensions and track cash flow using bank accounts and key charts of accounts. It also provides an improved financial planning collaboration process with task lists and approval workflow for better alignment across departments.

5. Scale safely with custom roles and controls

Role-based access permissions, first introduced in QuickBooks Online in 2024, are the foundation of data security and integrity. These permissions are important as a business grows and needs more people to run it. Intuit Enterprise Suite takes role-based access to a new level with predefined roles and a fixed set of permissions and features, including new project manager and bookkeeper roles. Roles and permissions can also be managed across multiple entities, and they can be created with specific permissions and transaction types.
