Doug, Emily, and Matt dissect Intuit’s new Enterprise Suite—announced in September 2024—and explore what it means for the mid-market. Is it a genuine cloud competitor to Sage Intacct and NetSuite, or simply a defensive move to retain growing QuickBooks users?
The episode looks at Intuit’s positioning, its user base, and how this shift might affect CAS firms, software buyers, and implementation consultants. With pricing details still vague, the hosts focus on features, structure, and what the market might expect next.
If you’re supporting clients scaling out of QuickBooks, this episode offers perspective on whether Intuit’s new suite changes the conversation—or just reinforces the need for true ERP migration.

FAQ: What Did That Mean?
What is the Intuit Enterprise Suite?
A new offering from Intuit aimed at scaling businesses, combining payroll, accounting, and more into a cloud-based bundle. Announced in late 2024.
Is QuickBooks considered an ERP?
Not really—at least not in the traditional sense. That’s part of the debate in this episode. For most mid-market orgs, ERP means platforms like Intacct, NetSuite, or Dynamics.
What’s the issue with multi-entity in QuickBooks?
QuickBooks lacks native support for true multi-entity accounting, which can be a deal-breaker for growing firms. This feature is spotlighted around the 4:42 mark.
Why does this matter for CAS firms?
Because your tech recommendations impact how fast your clients scale—and whether they outgrow your tech stack. Related episode: Episode 6.
