Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi on ‘the most significant launch we've ever had in our history'
In today's CEO Daily: Diane Brady talks to Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi. The big story: U.S.-China trade deal. The markets: Will the S&P 500 set a new record today? Analyst notes from EY-Parthenon on 'tariff shock,' Oxford Economics on the revised Q1 GDP number, Macquarie on the 'shadow' Fed, and JPMorgan on retail stock traders. Plus: All the news and watercooler chat from Fortune. Good morning. Earlier this week, I had a chance to chat with Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi and play with the four AI-powered agents that are rolling out next week for Quickbooks Online. It's the first time I've seen agents deployed so effectively in handing off tasks to each other while helping humans be more productive. (I did enjoy seeing Cognizant's Babak Hodjat create multi-agent systems on the spot at the Fortune COO Summit earlier this month, but many of us will deploy agents, not create them.) Intuit has four themed agents—a customer one for spotting leads in emails, drafting emails, and tracking interactions to the point of sales; one for payments to streamline and speed up that process; another for finance, to analyze and help you boost the health of your business; and a fourth for accounting, to reconcile expenses and make your bookkeepers happy. If I'd had this a decade ago, I might have remained an entrepreneur. 'By far, this is the most significant launch we've ever had in our history because it's end-to-end,' Goodarzi told me. 'The fact that we have launched a virtual team that can do a lot of work, from managing your leads to making sure you get paid and your accounting is done, and it's a combination of AI and humans doing the work. It's been in the works for six years.' 'It's not about workflows,' he said. 'It's about a business feed that does everything for the customer while they're always in control. And it's not just about technology; it's also about human expertise because, in our world, even Millennials, they want the reassurance of a human.' When I asked Goodarzi to reflect on what this means for the identity of a company that most associate with taxes and accounting, he said: 'I want us to be known as the money company because of how we help businesses and consumers.'More news CEO Daily via Diane Brady at This story was originally featured on

Intuit bets big on AI to boost efficiency and trust in QuickBooks
When it comes to AI agents, the makers of QuickBooks are hoping that you're 'into it.' Intuit—the fintech platform that owns TurboTax, Credit Karma, Mailchimp, and QuickBooks—announced that it has implemented a new set of AI agents into its products. The company showcased how the AI agents work within QuickBooks at an event on June 24, and Fast Company was able to see a demonstration of how the agents can help business owners and entrepreneurs use them to speed up their bookkeeping and accounting processes. QuickBooks will incorporate a Payments Agent, an Accounting Agent, a Customer Agent, and a Finance Agent, all of which are designed to become intimately familiar with a business's specific customer base and financial track record, offer up insights, and make additional analyses. And though it's just now being rolled out, the new AI capabilities have been in the works for a long time. 'This is five or six years in the making,' Sasan Goodarzi, Intuit's CEO, tells Fast Company. 'We've made huge investments in the past five years,' he says, and the company has taken its time because when it comes to bookkeeping and accounting, 'accuracy matters.' In other words, Goodarzi says that while an AI tool like ChatGPT might spit out wrong or incorrect information, a customer relying on QuickBooks to crunch their numbers needs to be absolutely sure and trust in Intuit's accuracy—otherwise, they could find themselves with serious issues. As such, Intuit wanted to make sure everything was above board before launching to its full customer base. 'If it screws up, it's a big problem,' he says. Additionally, Goodarzi says that business owners are relying on a huge number of apps and platforms to run their companies, an issue that Intuit is trying to simplify. 'What I'm hearing from customers all the time is that they're over-digitized, there are too many apps. They're not getting the benefit from their time and money,' he says. 'This is about creating a one-stop shop, a refreshed way to discover all of the capabilities within QuickBooks,' he says, noting that many of Intuit's customers are unaware of how many tools exist within the QuickBooks ecosystem. And it's the discovery and engagement with those tools that Goodarzi says 'has been the area of the most positive feedback.' But the primary question: Are the AI implementations actually producing value for users? Yes, Goodarzi says. He notes that during the testing phase, the new AI capabilities have led to significant time and money savings for users, though that can be difficult to quantify, and expects that the new features will both resonate with QuickBooks' wider user base when they officially launch on July 1, and help the company's bottom line. 'I was talking about AI changing the world six years ago, and people were laughing at me,' he says. Now, 'we're actually seeing natural adoption, driving incredible value.' The extended deadline for Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech Awards is this Friday, June 27, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.
