Intuit is adding links between Excel and QuickBooks Online Advanced, the mid-market version of its widely used cloud accounting software. Two-way syncing between Excel and Advanced will be added next year.
The integration of Advanced and Microsoft's ubuiquitous spreadsheet, Excel, was made possible through the use of technology Intuit has purchased from DataDear. Advanced already has integrations with to DocuSign, Bill.com, HubSpot and LeanLaw.
Other recently added features include a Multi-Co reporting tab on the Reports page of Advanced to access reports in Fathom, which itself received improvements to its user experience. Intuit also introduced the ability to add attachments while assigning tasks. Before, information related to tasks could only by be included by typing it in the notes section, or by sharing outside Advanced. Now users can add relevant files along with the task.
