For businesses that have outgrown QuickBooks Online but aren't ready for a traditional ERP. Intuit Enterprise Suite adds multi-entity consolidation, dimensional reporting, and integrated payroll & HR — built on the same foundation as QuickBooks, without a six-month implementation.
Subsidiaries, franchises, acquisitions, or related businesses that today require separate QuickBooks logins and manual report-stitching in Excel to see the full picture.
When closing the books takes days instead of hours, and every board meeting means rebuilding reports by hand, it's a sign standard QBO reporting has hit its ceiling.
Manually recording matching entries across entities is slow and error-prone. IES automates eliminations at the transaction level as they happen.
As teams grow, disconnected payroll/HR tools create duplicate data entry. IES brings QuickBooks Workforce Elite's full HCM suite into the same platform as the books.
Intercompany eliminations are generated and tracked automatically at the transaction level, and journal entries can be bulk-imported from spreadsheets — cutting close time from days to hours.
Customizable entity structures reflect how the business actually operates — not just its legal structure — with consolidated statements that roll up correctly either way.
Track financial activity across up to 20 custom dimensions — regions, departments, projects, product lines — well beyond classic classes and locations, plus real-time peer benchmarking.
Hiring, onboarding, e-signatures, background checks (Checkr), employee documents, time off, performance management, and offboarding now run in the same environment as the financials.
Intuit's first industry-specific IES vertical: cost groups for labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, and overhead; project phases and budgets; estimating; AIA-style invoicing; e-signature proposals; and negative change orders. Also available as a paid add-on for QBO Advanced.
Ask plain-language questions about the numbers — no report-building required — and get answers pulled directly from the business's live financial data.
Chart-of-accounts standardization, variance detection, and intercompany categorization run in the background so finance teams direct the work instead of doing it manually.
Exchange rates live in one permissioned rate table, applied automatically with full change logging and drill-down to the transaction level in any currency. Available now for U.S.-dollar functional currency organizations, with international currencies arriving this fall.
Record a bill payment in one entity using a bank account from another entity — intercompany accounting is generated and handled automatically behind the scenes.
