QuickBooks Online Updates

Below are the QuickBooks Online updates by release. We have linked to the original posts on Intuit’s QuickBooks Online Blog and any other related articles that might help you understand the changes better.

QuickBooks Online Updates:

April 2020

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Business Performance Dashboard
    • Industry benchmarks are now available
  • ProAdvisor
    • The recertification window has expanded this year to COVID-19. The new deadline is August 31, 2020.
    • Cash Flow Continuity Playbook was created to help you help your clients

March 2020

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Cash Flow Tools – HUGE Update
    • QuickBooks has a new set of tools to help you with managing cash flow, including:
      • Planner – forecast up to 90 days
      • Cash – an actual bank account
      • Envelopes – to help you earmark your cash
      • Debit Card – yes – from QuickBooks
    • Now, I’m not a fan of QuickBooks being my bank account. I prefer that to be separate. Now, they’ve done this so they have more transparency into the transactions for projections and these “envelopes”. And, I’m sure they are making some money on the bank accounts and merchant fees.
    • Here is an article from Intuit to learn more about this.
  • You can now upload bills in the receipt area and code the transactions from there
  • ProAdvisor
    • You can now add a QB payroll only client in your firm and set the subscription up there
    • New tier badges are here!
  • QuickBooks Online Advanced
    • Custom chart builder > access this through the performance center
    • Budget importing is now available
    • Batch update
      • Search and filter capabilities have been added
    • Custom fields have increased to up to 36 items. You are limited to 12 each – sales forms, purchase orders, and customer info.
    • Custom user rights have added for payroll access

February 2020

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Tags
    • This will be a new way to “tag” transactions or group them into similar things. It can be used for expenses related to an event or a marketing campaign.
    • You will be able to run reports filtered or customized by these tags
    • Still not completely rolled out at the end of April 2020
  • Reclassify Transactions
    • The default tools are available again in reclassify transactions. The functionality had disappeared with the release of the new look of reclassify transactions, but it is back.
    • To access this, go to Accountant Tools > Report Options (still my favorite screen in QBO!)
  • Reporting
    • You now have the option to select “Smart Page Breaks” when printing or saving reports.
  • QuickBooks Online Advanced
    • Batch updates
      • Batch bills have been added
      • Now you can copy and paste data from an excel spreadsheet into the batch transactions panel.

  • Apps Management
    • Apps for your clients can now be managed by members of your staff. You no longer have to be the Master Admin in your Firm to be able to manage your clients’ apps
  • Accountant Toolbox
    • The layout of the toolbox has changed now – instead of one column, there are now two
    • You’ll also see a few new things on there
      • Notes – I’m not so sure of the value here on this one, but it is a place for you to take notes on your clients’ books so you can view them at the firm level later. This might be valuable if you are using Work to manage tasks for your firm.
      • Bookkeeping Review – Not yet sure of this release date
      • Note – the screenshot on the site also includes “Optimization Center’ so that might be coming soon.
  • QuickBooks Online Backup (QBO Advanced)
    • Chronobooks was acquired by Intuit and they have now made the change to add this to QuickBooks Online Advanced subscriptions – only.
    • If you were using Chronobooks on a lower subscription, that will no longer be available for use.
  • Cash Flow Dashboard Reports (QBO Advanced)
    • This is a dynamic chart that is updated with actual data from QBO showing the cash from operating, investing, and financing activities.

December 2019

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

      • Core (used to be self-service)
      • Premium (used to be full-service)
      • Elite
  • Transactions
    • I honestly am not sure I understand this one, but there is now a new transaction type to “pay down a credit card” in the other area of the create transaction screen.
  • Reporting
    • When comparing periods on the P&L, you can now choose “Previous Year-to-Date”
    • If you have been using the manual sales tax area, apparently there has been an update so that you can match the sales tax rates you have to verified agencies that Intuit has in their system.
  • Banking
    • Chase’s bank connection has been completed. You’ll have to reconnect the accounts to QuickBooks Online and make sure you are an authorized user on the account. Intuit’s blog post for this update has instructions on how to add an authorized user to the account.
  • QBO Advanced
    • You now have a dashboard that allows you to analyze the revenue streams of the business
    • “Batch expenses” is the next addition to the batch features
    • You already had advanced custom user permissions in QBO Advanced, but now you can create custom roles so that you can easily apply those permissions to several users.

October 2019

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • The Quick Create button has moved (or will be moving). It’s that plus sign on the top right of your screen. They are moving it over to the left-hand navigation bar. (And, I just finished recording a training on QBO navigation!!)
  • QB Payments
    • Instant deposit of QB Payments for a fee – 1% gets the money instantly
  • QBO Advanced
    • You can now export reports to Google Spreadsheets. I’m a little jealous of this one!
    • “Batch enter checks” is now available.
  • Mobile App
    • They are changing the layout so that it is easier to navigate on the phone. Away with the tiny navigation options that would show up on the left. Now you’ll see bigger “cards” to get you to where you want to go.
  • ProAdvisor Program Benefits
    • A new benefit with DocuSign has been added

August 2019

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Reclassify Transactions (was noted below in July)
    • They have updated the look and feel to be more consistent with the rest of QBO
    • But, there are still some kinks to work out
      • Report defaults no longer apply to this area – so you can’t save time with having your preferred time frame or preferred accounting basis checked off
      • You also don’t get the preview of which transactions you can NOT reclassify because they use product/services (items) instead of direct links to the chart of accounts. So you can try, but you’ll get an error message.
  • Employee Health Benefits in QB Payroll
    • Check out what you can do under the “workers” tab
    • Quotes will be available from the leading providers
  • Improvements to Invoice Templates

    • Preview payroll changes before submitting
  • RUN Powered by ADP
    • It has always integrated with QBO, but now the integration is a bit better – maybe 1 or 2 less clicks
  • Not shown in the article
    • Reclassify Transactions
      • They have updated the look and feel to be more consistent with the rest of QBO
      • But, there are still some kinks to work out
        • Report defaults no longer apply to this area – so you can’t save time with having your preferred time frame or preferred accounting basis checked off
        • You also don’t get the preview of which transactions you can NOT reclassify because they use product/services (items) instead of direct links to the chart of accounts. So you can try, but you’ll get an error message.
    • Overview Screen
      • You can now print out the page to keep as a workpaper for your files. It’s nicely formatted so you can also be comfortable sharing this with a client.

February 2019

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • QBO App
    • Simultaneously work with multiple clients at once
  • QBO Payroll
  • QBO Advanced
    • Yes, we have started to hear about the new limitations put on QBO Plus that will eventually help Intuit push more clients to QBO Advanced
    • As an extra incentive, Intuit is now providing more points (75) to ProAdvisors for adding new QBO Advanced subscriptions. This will help you personally with the benefits you receive from the ProAdvisor program.
    • Accelerated Invoicing
      • There are new streamlined features to help you send out a large number of invoices at once.
      • You can also import a lot of invoices into QBO at once for faster processing.
    • Test Drive Company File
    • Other Features as selling points
      • You might have heard these before, but Intuit reiterated them, so we’ll go ahead and do the same here:
        • Up to 25 simultaneous users
        • Reporting powered by Fathom
        • Import invoices
        • Custom permissions – more customization, but test it out to really see what is available
        • Priority circle manager – a primary source of contact for you with Intuit
        • Enhanced custom fields
        • Third accountant user

January 2019

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • QBO Advanced
    • Wholesale billing is now an option with QBO Advanced – 30% off for the life of the subscription (until May 31, 2019). But remember, you are in charge of paying for the subscription and getting reimbursed from the client (if that is your business setup). Also, you get to deal with how you will handle any price increases – take them out of your profit or pass along to your client.
      • I’m still a fan of letting my client manage their own subscription and I do the bookkeeping. In my opinion, they pay me for the service – not to manage a subscription that they’d have with or without me. If you want to offer your client a discounted rate but not have them on your wholesale account, you can have them subscribe through an Intuit Reseller, like me.
  • Marketing Hub
    • Per Intuit “We created the Intuit® Marketing Hub to give accounting and tax pros an easy-to-follow playbook for growing your practice”
    • Resources include:
      • A step-by-step guide to create a marketing plan
      • QBO Sales sheet to pitch clients
      • A video guide on how to discuss value pricing
      • Discounts on Squarespace and Constant Contact
  • Apps now have new “ProAdvisor Picks” category to feature those that ProAdvisors love. You’ll see this with a little trophy on the top right of the app card on Apps.com

December 2018

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Redesigned ProAdvsior Program
    • This means more benefits for you! Intuit is moving towards a point-based system and that provides you more and more benefits the more points you get. The concept is great and it is just the foundation for more stuff they can do with this program.
  • New Client Overview
    • We now have a new area within QBO to see a summary of our client’s books. This is a great way to get an idea of how things are, especially if you are pricing out a cleanup job. (Remember, we have a course to help you with cleanups.)
    • What’s included
      • Company set up – to see info about the business, the apps connected, and more
      • Banking activity – see all the accounts connected, the current bank balance, balance per QBO, how many unaccepted transactions there are, and the reconciliation status
      • Common issues – this lists out how many transactions are in accounts that are common mistake areas – like undeposited funds
        • One great example is that lists out any negative asset or liability accounts
  • Next-day Deposits for Intuit Credit Card Payments
    • When clients are paid via credit card through their QB Payments account, they will be able to get those funds deposited into their account the next day.
      • There are a few exceptions, you can find those here.
  • Auto-collected W-9s
    • You can request W-9 information from your contractors through QBO now, but watch out because you are inviting your contractor to sign up for a QBO account. In my test, I said I was an individual so I got a free self-employed account. The problem I have is that now as a contractor, I’m going to be getting Intuit emails and all that is saved in there. Personally, I just don’t like this methodology.
  • Automate Routines This is now workflows in QBO Advanced
    • Here’s a video on how it works
    • You can turn on routines in QB Labs and you have some beginning templates to utilize
      • Notify your customers when you receive their payment
      • Remind yourself or customers about past due invoices – so does this make InvoiceSherpa not necessary for some users?
      • Remind yourself about upcoming bills
      • Mark an invoice’s memo whenever an invoice is overdue

November 2018

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Seamless integration with QBOA and Proconnect Tax Online
    • The QBOA dashboard has had links to be able to prepare taxes for a while and we’ve had the trial balance tool, but I think we are talking about more efficiencies with information going back and forth and getting alerts.
  • Inventory reorder points
    • Add reorder points to your inventory items and see information on the product/service screen as when you have low stock.

October 2018

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • QuickBooks Online Advanced – We are following up on the August release on this one. This is Intuit’s play at mid-market businesses to help them move away from Enterprise but still stay within the Intuit ecosystem. It’s still new, but you’ll see them developing this more and more over the next year.

September 2018

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • QBOA
    • New billing experience – the billing details give you more clarity of what is included in your invoice (and yes, we actually can see invoices now!!)

    • Edit your personal URL – up to 50 characters & you can change the URL up to 5 times
    • Reply to ProAdvisor reviews – just go to your ProAdvisor profile and look at the detail of your reviews to see a “Reply to review” button. Note, your replies go through a 72-hour approval process, just like reviews.
  • Chart of Accounts
    • We can FINALLY import sub accounts!!! Just use this setup “Parent account name:Sub account name” in your upload file to show it is a sub account.
    • Create a new account directly from the product/service area!! Another awesome update. It might be little but will save a ton of time.
  • Self-Employed (Note – this is not the core QuickBooks Online product)
    • Clients can bulk-delete trips in their mileage log
    • Labs is now available for QBSE for you and your clients to test out new features before they go live in the product for everyone
  • QuickBooks Online Advanced
    • This is for people that are outgrowing QBO {In my opinion, I’m not sure who that would be if you are using the product and apps to customize your workflows, but let’s just see where this goes}
    • Here are the benefits (more info at this link)
      • Up to 25 users with full and simultaneous access
      • Dedicated Customer Success Manager

  • Faster Invoice actions
    • On the All sales screen, the “Action” column allows you to delete, void or copy invoices or sales receipts

    • You can now specifically select if a user should have access to payroll

June 2018

See Intuit’s Blog Post for screenshots and more info

  • Product Updates hub
    • This is a new website that details out the updates in QBO by release (we still prefer this listing on our site with links to everything you need)
    • But, this hub might be more your style, so check out the link
  • Direct bank feeds
    • Wait – bank feeds have been around for a while? Right??
    • QBO is creating more integrated bank feeds with certain banks
    • These new connections are supposed to cut down on feed interruptions, connection errors and missing or duplicate transactions
  • Customize Payment Accounts on QB Capital Loans
    • Upon getting accepted for a loan, QB Capital will split up your principal and interest for auto-recording the transaction
  • Slack Integration
    • Slack is integrating with QBOA now so all your project updates, reminders and notifications can be pushed over to Slack
    • Look for the Slack integration under the Work tab in QBOA

    • You start the process with an estimate and then you can select a schedule for the invoices
    • You can invoice everything, a certain percentage of each line, or a custom amount for each line

    • There is still an added fee for each new 1099 contractor you are paying
    • QBO has separated the payment view on the “Workers” tab so now you see “Employees” in one area and “Contractors” in another area
  • QuickBooks Accountants Apps Program  I think this program was removed in late 2019
    • You now get discounts for specific apps that are part of this program
    • You can find these apps when clicking on “Apps” within your QBOA screen
    • When in the find apps screen, you can see the discount provided to ProAdvisors – which you can pass along to your clients
  • Connect to PayPal app for QuickBooks
    • Here is the next iteration on the attempt to get a good integration between QBO and PayPal
    • First you connect via the app, then that will pull in the transactions into the banking area to categorized
    • You can create sales receipts from the banking screen
    • You also finally have the gross amount listed as well as the PayPal fee separately
    • Those PayPal fees go to their own expense account
  • Redesigned Invoice Emails
    • So, QuickBooks has made invoices more simplistic so they are easier to communicate via email
    • It looks great on mobile devices
    • You have flexibility on accent color, logo, names info
    • The drawback? They removed the ability to upload a word doc as your invoice template
    • And, you’ll run into issues if you need to invoice from two different business names/segments/locations if you are set up that way. It might be time to look for a third party app if you are running into this issue.
