Intuit Forms Alliance to Deliver Live Online Advice

Posted by accountingweb on Oct 10 2001 73 printer friendly

Keen - Your Personal Advisor, and Intuit have announced a multi-year agreement to deliver tax and accounting advice to consumers and small businesses.

Under the agreement, customers using Intuit's TurboTax software, TurboTax for the Web, and QuickBooks programs including QuickBooks Payroll solutions will be able to link from these products to co-branded pages hosted by Keen, providing customers with the ability to immediately access advice, either live over the phone or as an arranged service via e-mail.

In addition, potentially thousands of Intuit tax and accounting professionals will join the rapidly growing community of KeenSpeakers, those who sell their advice on Keen, giving them the opportunity to provide live, immediate advice to TurboTax and QuickBooks customers as well as to Keen's more than five million registered members.
