Intuit Accountant Suite: Accelerate and Books Close Deep Dive

About this episode

Intuit moved up the pricing deadline for Accountant Suite add-ons to May 1st, which means less time to evaluate whether Books Close and the Accelerate dashboard are worth paying for. Dan DeLong walks Alicia through a live demo of Books Close — including reconciliation from outside the client file, transaction anomaly detection, W-9/1099 management, and the team workflow features — so you can decide if it fits your practice. Fair warning: you can onboard clients into Books Close right now, but you can't offboard them yet.
