Intuit strikes a $100M+ partnership with OpenAI to bring TurboTax, QuickBooks, and more into ChatGPT, enabling AI-driven financial insights and automated workflows.
Intuit, the financial software giant behind TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma, has entered into a multi-year partnership with OpenAI, valued at over $100 million, cementing a significant bet on the role of generative artificial intelligence in personal and small business finance.
The collaboration represents a deepening of ties between Silicon Valley’s established software stalwarts and the vanguard of the AI boom. Under the agreement, Intuit’s suite of financial applications will be integrated directly into ChatGPT, allowing the chatbot to perform complex financial tasks—from calculating tax refunds to predicting cash flow—using real-time data.
Finance in the Chatbot Era
The partnership aims to move beyond simple text exchanges, utilizing Intuit’s proprietary financial data to power “agentic” workflows. With user consent, ChatGPT will be able to access Intuit’s platform to offer personalized advice and execute routine tasks.
For consumers, this could mean asking the chatbot to investigate mortgage options, manage debt, or estimate a tax return without leaving the conversation interface. For small-business owners relying on QuickBooks, the integration promises to automate invoice generation, track payments, and identify overdue accounts through straightforward, plain-English commands.
Sasan Goodarzi, the chief executive of Intuit, stated that the deal combines his company’s vast reservoir of financial data and credit models with OpenAI’s top-tier reasoning capabilities.
“This provides customers with a competitive edge in achieving their financial outcomes,” Mr. Goodarzi said.

The Rise of AI Agents
A central component of the initiative is the deployment of AI “agents”—autonomous software bots capable of navigating complex workflows. Rather than just answering questions, these agents are designed to function as virtual assistants that can coordinate actions, such as cross-referencing accounts receivable balances or generating compliance reports.
Internally, Intuit plans to expand its deployment of ChatGPT Enterprise, utilizing the tool to enhance operational efficiency within its own workforce.

A High-Stakes Market
The deal highlights a broader shift in the software industry, where legacy providers are racing to integrate generative AI into their existing products to prevent obsolescence. Analysts view the move as an attempt by Intuit to leverage its 100 million-strong customer base to lead an emerging market for AI-enhanced financial software.
For OpenAI, the partnership offers a significant revenue stream and a validation of its technology in high-stakes, data-sensitive industries. The company has projected aggressive growth, aiming for $20 billion in annualized revenue by the end of the year.
