On October 27, 2026, Intuit announced new Intuit Intelligence features, including AI-powered cash flow and invoicing tools in QuickBooks that surface aging invoices and follow up with customers automatically.
Waiting on customers to pay? Intuit says QuickBooks can now help chase them. Here's what Intuit's official press release says, as we read it on Oct 28, 2026.
What Intuit announced on Oct 27, 2026:
- Invoicing and cash flow: Intuit says new AI tools in QuickBooks surface aging invoices, benchmark your business against peers, and automatically follow up with customers. Intuit says this helps businesses get paid 4 days faster on average.
- Intuit Intelligence: Intuit's platform for AI across QuickBooks and its other products. Intuit says it handles tasks like running payroll, paying bills, and sending invoices, while keeping businesses and accountants in control of important decisions.
- For accountants: a monthly Agentic Books Close in Intuit Accountant Suite.
- Availability: Intuit says these are rolling out to U.S.-based businesses and accounting firms starting Oct 27, with more to follow.
What to do next:
- If you use QuickBooks, look for the new invoice follow-up tools.
- Read the automatic follow-up wording before you turn it on.
- Keep your bookkeeper in the loop.
More in our invoice follow-up playbook.
A small-business example: a landscaping company has eight invoices over 30 days old. QuickBooks surfaces them, and the owner reviews the follow-up messages before turning on automatic reminders. He keeps two long-time clients on personal calls instead. (Our illustration of what Intuit describes.)
Questions to ask before you switch on automatic follow-ups:
- Which customers should get a personal call instead?
- Does the reminder wording match how you talk to customers?
- How often should reminders go out, and when should they stop?
Background: Intuit announced this at Intuit Connect. Intuit says its AI categorizes more than 400 million transactions each month. Our invoice follow-up playbook has a simple process that works with any accounting tool.
Who should pay attention: U.S. small businesses that send invoices from QuickBooks and spend time chasing late payments, and their bookkeepers.
Plain-English terms:
- Aging invoices: unpaid invoices sorted by how long they've been overdue.
- Benchmark: a comparison with similar businesses.
- Automatic follow-up: reminders QuickBooks can send for you on a schedule.
A simple first step: run your accounts receivable aging report today and write down your total over 30 days. After a month of reminders, run it again and compare. That tells you whether the new tools are helping your business.
What we'll watch next: when the features reach businesses outside the U.S., and which QuickBooks plans include them. Intuit says more capabilities will follow.
