The new QuickBooks Accountant Apps Program is designed to simplify App selection, connection and management by Accountants directly within QuickBooks Online Accountant. In launching the new program Intuit selected eight Apps that are among the most highly recommended by accounting professionals, fully compatible with QuickBooks Online and support single sign on via QuickBooks Online Accountant.
Rich Preece, leader of Intuit’s Accountant Segment, Small Business and Self Employed Group said, “This new program helps accounting professionals be more of a trusted advisor to their small business clients because they are able to recommend and easily implement Apps that help their clients be more successful.”
The Apps initially available in the QuickBooks Accountant Apps Program are Circulus, Expensify, Float, Method: CRM, Excel Transaction Importer, ServiceM8, SOS Inventory and Tsheets by QuickBooks. New apps are expected to be added to the program in the coming months.
The program begins rolling out in March, and is expected to be available soon to all QuickBooks Online Accountant users in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia by late April. App selection most likely will vary by country as the program aims to meet the unique needs of accounting professionals globally.
The eight Apps included in the program can be accessed directly from the Apps Tab in QuickBooks Online Accountant.
