Intuit Intelligence in QuickBooks Online (2026)

About this video

David, partnering with QuickBooks Online, demos Intuit Intelligence, a conversational AI built into QuickBooks Online that already knows your financial data so no spreadsheets need uploading. He notes it is available in all QuickBooks plans and, while in beta, allows 25 questions a month, and outlines plans: Simple Start if it’s just you, Essentials with a finance team or over 100 transactions per month, Plus for project or inventory tracking, and Advanced for revenue recognition, forecasting, or custom dashboards. Accessed via the AI icon (full-screen view preferred), it is tested in four categories. Business Performance covers revenue and cash flow comparisons, following a pattern of ask, discover insights, check Sources, and dive deeper — one example shows a steep Q4-to-Q1 decline with Q4 at 65,000 and a suspicious November spike in a P&L. Expenses covers category breakdowns, percentage-change tables by category, vendor payment variation using standard deviations, and exporting any response as a PDF for an accountant. On actions, it hits a ceiling: it cannot send an invoice reminder to the Kevin Cookie Company or create an invoice from text in this experience, only giving instructions and links. Strategic Advice covers taxes, missing deductions, profit-increase ideas, and P&L anomaly checks, with warnings that advice can be out of date and should be discussed with a CPA. Limitations include only one chat at a time (starting a new chat cancels a working prompt), possible mistakes — it did not flag a 401k contribution on a P&L — and the privacy pitch that Intuit uses its own models and data never leaves QuickBooks, unlike sending financials to ChatGPT or Claude.

Key takeaways

• Intuit Intelligence is in beta in all QuickBooks plans with 25 questions per month; open it from the AI icon and use follow-ups and the Sources button to verify answers
• Use Business Performance prompts for revenue/cash-flow trends, then follow the pattern: ask, spot an anomaly, check sources, and pull the underlying P&L report
• Ask expense questions with specific table columns and percentage changes, ask for vendor variation in standard deviations, and export responses as PDFs for your accountant
• It cannot yet take actions — it will not send an invoice reminder or create an invoice in this experience, only show instructions and link to the right place
• Treat strategic/tax advice as a starting point for a CPA conversation, validate against underlying reports, and note limits: single chat at a time and it missed a 401k contribution on a P&L in the demo
