A Closer Look at the New QuickBooks Bank Feed and Accounting Agent

Helping You Work Smarter, Not Harder

At Baldwin CPAs, we’re always looking for ways to help you streamline your financial processes and get the most out of your tools. That’s why we’re excited to share some powerful updates from QuickBooks that are designed to make your bookkeeping experience faster, smarter, and more intuitive.

Why These Updates Matter

QuickBooks has rolled out a redesigned bank feed and a new AI-powered tool called the Accounting Agent. These enhancements are built to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and give you more time to focus on growing your business.

Whether you manage your own books or collaborate with our team, these features are here to support your success.

What’s New in the Bank Feed?

The updated bank feed is packed with features that make transaction management easier than ever:

  • Inline Editing: Update categories, vendors, classes, and more without opening extra windows.
  • Smarter Suggestions: Improved categorization and matching based on your transaction history.
  • Full Transparency: See explanations for every suggestion so you know why QuickBooks made it.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Add new payees on the fly, view full bank descriptions with a hover, and handle complex matches with ease.
  • All the Tools You Know: Rules, splits, transfers, and customization options are still right where you need them.

Meet the Accounting Agent

The new Accounting Agent is like having a digital assistant built into QuickBooks. Here’s what it can do:

  • PDF Bank Statement Uploads: You can upload statements in PDF, JPG, or PNG format without converting to CSV.
  • “Ready to Post” Sorting: Quickly identify transactions that are ready for review and posting.
  • Anomaly Detection: Spot potential errors in your reports with detailed explanations.
  • Enhanced Reconciliation: Compare uploaded statements, bank feeds, and books in one place to resolve discrepancies faster.

Built with Your Feedback

These updates were shaped by feedback from over 65,000 accountants and small business owners. QuickBooks continues to improve the experience based on what users like you are saying. And don’t worry, none of the features you rely on have been removed.
