What’s New in QuickBooks: December 2021

As we "wrap" up the year, here's a look at some of the latest developments with QuickBooks Online.


QuickBooks Cash is Now QuickBooks Checking

QuickBooks Cash is now called QuickBooks Checking. The name change will start in mid-December.

QuickBooks Checking is an all-in-one business bank account that is free to open, doesn't require a minimum balance or charge monthly service fees². Services and features include a virtual and physical debit card¹, 1.00% APY on balances, bill pay and instant deposit with QuickBooks Payments at no additional cost for eligible customers³. Small business owners can take advantage of these features all within QuickBooks, and since QuickBooks Checking is integrated with QuickBooks Online, payments and expenditures sync, automatically keeping the books up to date.


Manage Cash Flow

Cash Flow Planner* predicts cash flow 30 and 90 days out using machine learning and data analysis, alerting business owners and providing them with recommendations when cash flow could become a problem.

Onboard Employees to QuickBooks Time with Codes

Beginning in January 2022, admins will have the option to skip the individual invitations to get new employees in QuickBooks Time and onboard them with a unique 6-digit or QR code instead.


How It Works:

  • New hires use a 6-digit or QR code to access timekeeping records.

  • Employees can start tracking time without waiting for the admin. since the code is unique to each company.

  • Admins can onboard multiple workers with a single code.

  • Admins don’t have to manually add each person with their contact information before sending out invitations.
