QuickBooks now proposes chart-of-accounts fixes and waits for approval before touching the books.
Intuit used its Connect event to move QuickBooks work upstream of the bank feed. COA Cleanup scans a client's books, proposes fixes for duplicate, misnamed or mis-typed accounts, and reclassifies transactions only after each action is approved. A rebuilt Edit mode handles the manual finish with inline edits and drag-and-drop hierarchies. This follows a summer spent on bank feed matching and the move to the Intuit Accountant Suite.
Kolleno is stretching from collections software toward the whole cash cycle.
Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.

The product is taking on the repetitive parts of accounting while keeping the accountant as the approver: proposals, audit logs, a cleanup history page and respect for closed-books dates. Scope now runs from single transaction matches to the structure of a client's file. Clients get a narrower version limited to easily reversible suggestions, so permissions are splitting by risk, not just by role.
Expect more approve-first cleanup tools aimed at new-client onboarding, with the client-facing tier widening only for reversible actions. Whether bank feed auto-posting ships next is unclear from these releases.

The product is moving outward from chasing invoices into reconciliation and forecasting, the adjacent jobs a finance team does with the same data. The Task Manager remains the operational center, with each release adding controls, notifications and e-signature forms around it.
Cash flow forecasting is in early access, so the next updates will likely broaden it toward general availability and connect it to the payment-matching data shipped alongside it.
