This all started with twitter spreading the rumors that Intuit is entering the bookkeeping space. Some had noticed that on the pricing page for QuickBooks products, a new offering had appeared called “Live Bookkeeping.” But Intuit has denied availability of the new product, saying the appearance of this offering was a test only available to certain website visitors, designed to measure interest in such a service.
According to the new feature, which I was able to view, potential clients would be able to access a live bookkeeper — think Lyft for cabs or TaskRabbit for chores — for prices ranging between $205 to $350 per month, depending on their needs. The placement of the offering and the price ranges visible have changed over the past few days, which is most likely a part of the test Intuit says it is running.
Hopefully soon Intuit will start offering such services which might be helpful for non-bookkeeping people.
