Earn revenue share on your clients’ QuickBooks Payments transactions

In response to your feedback, QuickBooks Payments has launched 80+ new invoicing features that empower your clients to streamline payment processes and help you save time on their books. These latest updates include recurring payments, adding billable expenses grouped by time, customizing an invoice template while drafting an invoice, autosaving your work in the QuickBooks Online mobile app, and more.

Plus, you can unlock new revenue streams and provide value for your clients with QuickBooks Payments. Invite your clients to receive up to 25% off QuickBooks Payments rates, while you earn 20% share of the net profit from their transactions for 3 years.*

With QuickBooks Payments, your clients can provide several payment options, including instantly payable invoices to help them get paid four times faster.1 When they receive payments, QuickBooks records and automatically matches eligible transactions with 100% accuracy, helping to reduce errors.2 You’ll also be able to track your clients’ payment activity and help them plan for the future by projecting cash flow up to 90 days in advance.

Address app connection errors efficiently with high-visibility notifications

When you or your client uses connected apps with QuickBooks, it’s important to have visibility on how the apps are operating. Now, if an app is experiencing a connection error, you will see an indication in the main header of QuickBooks Online. The apps symbol that normally shows nine grey dots will include a red dot. After clicking this symbol, you’ll see a dropdown displaying each app with an added red flag to indicate which one is having a connection issue. From there, you can click through for more information so you can take care of it.

The sooner you know an app needs attention, the faster you can address it—and enjoy the productivity, efficiency, and confidence you get when all connected apps are working as expected.

Boost productivity by switching clients from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Solopreneur

Just as in other QuickBooks Online subscriptions, your client can invite you to view and work in their books. QuickBooks Online Accountant will have the tools you need to work with their data:

• Reconciliation
• Chart of Accounts
• Transaction review
• Account registers
• Journal entries
• Reports

The accountant experience for Solopreneur now includes three unique capabilities:

• Simplify the workload with auto-categorization: Transactions are first automatically determined to be either business or personal, then they’re auto-categorized into the best account. As you review and correct them over time, Solopreneur’s suggested auto-categorizations become more accurate.
• Enhanced organization with updated Transactions view: The transactions list updates to reflect auto-categorizations, so you can focus on reviewing rather than categorizing.
• Track your work with review checkmarks: Mark the transactions you’ve reviewed using an intuitive checkmark in the Banking transaction list to help you and your team understand what work remains to be done.

Note: When your client upgrades to QuickBooks Solopreneur, up to seven years of their data, including bank connections and transactions, receipts, invoices, mileage, customers, account info, and settings data will move with them. Data in other categories and data older than seven years will not move to QuickBooks Solopreneur, so for reference, you might consider downloading a backup. After upgrading, your client will no longer be able to access data in their QuickBooks Self-Employed account.

Simplified Bill Pay subscription process for accountant-billed clients

Rather than rely on multiple back-and-forth steps, you can now subscribe a client directly to the Bill Pay plan that suits their needs. After that, the client will be prompted to complete an application form with 27 days to do so. After they’re approved for Bill Pay, they’ll be able to use it right away.

Note: If a newly subscribed client doesn’t complete their application within the 27-day window, the client’s Bill Pay account will be closed and your firm will be credited for the Bill Pay subscription fees paid.
