Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver of Intuit's revenue growth was the Small Business & Self-Employed segment, which saw a 13% increase in revenue, largely fueled by its Online Ecosystem offerings like QuickBooks Online Accounting and Online Services (payments and payroll).

Intuit entered into an agreement to acquire Credit Karma for $7.1 billion, payable in cash and stock. The transaction was subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions and was expected to close before the end of calendar year 2020.

Intuit's strategy is centered on becoming an AI-driven expert platform. Key areas of focus include revolutionizing speed to benefit, connecting customers to experts, unlocking smart money decisions (with Credit Karma acquisition playing a role), being the center of small business growth, and disrupting the small business mid-market.
