A new Intuit report launched today, entitled The Growth Gap reveals why this evolution of QuickBooks on the Intuit platform matters. In Canada, nearly half (49 per cent) of small business growth potential goes unrealized, held back by inefficiencies, fragmented systems, and decision fatigue. This is striking considering the report shows a stronger ability to execute these opportunities could lift revenue across the Canada small business economy by 6.4 per cent annually, representing an uplift of $178,273 on average per company.2 Despite these challenges, Canadian entrepreneurs continue to lead globally in growth readiness, with 46 per cent of small and mid-sized businesses ranking in the high readiness tier, the strongest performance across Commonwealth markets3. This remarkable lead in global growth readiness demonstrates a clear demand for efficiency and integrated solutions.

According to Intuit’s study, 80 per cent of Canadian SMB leaders believe AI could help them delegate more effectively while maintaining oversight4. This represents what Intuit’s recent report calls the AI Dividend: the productivity, focus, and confidence regained when technology automates the work that slows businesses down.

Two in three leaders say Intuit’s AI helps them focus on the right things to grow their business, while 62 per cent feel more confident in their profit growth as a result of these tools.5 “Ambition is abundant, but the path to execution remains obstructed by everyday complexity. The challenge isn’t ambition itself, but the systems required to turn it into progress. When routine work is automated, time and visibility returns – giving leaders the insights they need, and the confidence to act with conviction,” said Ciarán Quilty, Senior Vice-President for International at Intuit.
