The QuickBooks Business Network is rolling out to accountants and their clients. The network, which enables QB Online customers to connect with the QB community, will be available to all accountants this summer.
Besides being able to reach QB certified vendors, network users can perform functions such as automatically importing bills and predicting cash flow.
Participants can join a community without manually entering contact information. Intuit says the systems will also improve QB accuracy. “We want to help facilitate time-consuming administrative tasks, such as tracking down accurate contact information, to create a hassle-free business management experience,” the software company said on a post on its Firm of the Future web site.
In addition, sending an invoice to another network member will automatically create a bill for them in their QB account.
