Company Overview

Intuit is the global financial technology platform that powers prosperity for the people and communities we serve. With approximately 100 million customers worldwide using products such as TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to prosper. We never stop working to find new, innovative ways to make that possible.

Job Overview

Cash flow is one of the most significant challenges facing a small business’s survival. In fact, 61% of small business owners have regular issues related to cash flow, often stemming from late customer payments, cumbersome tracking of cash inflows and outflows across multiple spreadsheets and bank accounts, and slow payment processing by incumbent institutions. These challenges result in slower business growth and incredible stress on the owner-operator.

Intuit’s Global Business Solutions Group (GBSG), the home for QuickBooks and Mailchimp, is committed to creating tools and services that dramatically increase a small or medium business’s ability to manage their cash flow. Intuit is uniquely positioned to solve this problem, given the breadth and depth of Money In and Money Out jobs small businesses turn to Intuit for already.
