Product portfolio centers on QuickBooks for small-business accounting, TurboTax for tax preparation, and Mint for personal finance management. The company also offers services for payroll, payments, and professional tax preparation, with a focus on interoperability across its products to support an end-to-end financial workflow.

A notable strategic move was Intuit’s 2020 acquisition of Credit Karma for approximately $7.1 billion, expanding its consumer financial services reach. Intuit is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under INTU and is a component of major indices such as the S&P 500, reflecting its role as a large, enterprise-focused software company in the financial technology sector.
