Intuit Inc., the global fintech company powering QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp, announced the global rollout of AI agents on its all-in-one Intuit platform. In Canada, QuickBooks users will now benefit from a proactive virtual team powered by AI and supported by human experts that automates critical workflows, uncovers insights, and liberates business owners’ time.
According to Intuit, QuickBooks customers in Canada are already saving up to 12 hours per month on routine tasks spanning accounting, customer management, projects, and financial reporting.
A Virtual Team That Works Behind the Scenes
Intuit’s new AI-driven framework combines task automation with expert support to deliver “done-for-you” experiences across four core functional areas:
- Accounting Agent: Handles bookkeeping and categorization automatically, surfaces anomalies early, and collaborates with accountants.
- Customer Agent: Mines leads from inboxes, prioritizes high-value prospects, drafts responses, schedules meetings, and tracks customer opportunities throughout the sales cycle.
- Finance Agent: Generates comprehensive financial summaries profit & loss, cash flow, and balance sheet reports providing actionable insights.
- Project Management Agent: Speeds up project setup by auto-populating key fields, reducing manual data entry.
- Sales Tax AI Agent (Coming Soon): Helps reconcile net sales to income reports, identifies discrepancies, suggests potential causes, and offers corrective recommendations.
These AI agents are part of a new QuickBooks web interface. It has a customizable dashboard with widgets, a live business feed, and useful insights. The platform allows easy collaboration between business owners and their trusted experts. It also supports connections with third-party applications.

Addressing the “Growth Gap” for Canadian Business
Intuit released a new research report titled The Growth Gap, revealing that nearly 49% of growth potential among Canadian small businesses remains unrealized, largely due to fragmented systems, inefficiencies, and decision fatigue.
The report estimates that closing this gap could increase annual revenue for Canadian small businesses by 6.4%, which amounts to an average uplift of CA$178,273 per company.
Despite these challenges, the study found that 46% of Canadian small- and mid-sized business (SMB) leaders are highly “growth-ready,” a stronger performance than in other Commonwealth countries.
Confidence in AI from Business Leaders
Intuit’s findings show that 80% of Canadian SMB leaders believe AI can enable more effective delegation while preserving oversight.
Two-thirds of these leaders say the AI agents help them focus on the most important priorities, and 62% report increased confidence in their future profit growth thanks to the tools.
“Automation where it counts, human where it matters; that is the balance we have built into the reimagined QuickBooks experience,” said Puja Subrun, Vice President at Intuit Canada-LATAM. “Combining our AI agents and collaboration with trusted experts all in one place will deliver real-time, personalised, and actionable insights, to help businesses move faster, operate smarter, and uncover greater efficiencies. We’re excited for all of the ways our trusted platform will help Canadian businesses work smarter and focus on what truly drives growth.”
“Ambition is abundant, but the path to execution remains obstructed by everyday complexity. The challenge isn’t ambition itself, but the systems required to turn it into progress. When routine work is automated, time and visibility returns – giving leaders the insights they need, and the confidence to act with conviction,” said Ciarán Quilty, Senior Vice-President for International at Intuit.
