Intuit is providing this information in advance to accounting professionals and QuickBooks ProAdvisors so they are aware of the changes ahead of the actual release in order that they might be ready to answer questions their clients might have when they start hearing the news or seeing advertising, especially as it relates to the areas of subscription options, retail availability, and product discounting. QuickBooks ProAdvisors and Accounting Professionals will also begin today receiving email notifications containing essentially the same information outline in this article, and a Firm of the Future Blog with FAQs will also be published. You may think that it seems early to be hearing about the newest version of QuickBooks Desktop and you would be right, but Intuit is indeed releasing news about the upcoming line of products ahead of next month's scheduled actual product release.
