QuickBooks Online Accountant retires Dec 31, 2026

Intuit is folding QBOA into the new Intuit Accountant Suite — a forced migration for every church bookkeeping firm currently on QBOA. We are purpose-built for the part of the market QBOA never served well, and our QBO importer is ready for production use today.

The wedge

Why migration now beats waiting

Class + Location ≠ funds

Churches on QBO simulate fund accounting with Classes and Locations. It works until it doesn't (audit time). steepl has true fund-tagged double-entry by default.

QBOA firm console retires

Multi-client management on QBOA goes away end-of-year. Intuit's replacement is priced and shaped for general SMB CAS practices, not church bookkeeping firms.

We're ready

Our QBO importer ships today: 25 field-mapping tests passing, OAuth integration, classes → funds, locations → departments, JE → JE with round-trip validation.
