What’s a QSP and Why Should I Care?


QuickBooks Solutions Providers (QSPs) offer ProAdvisors better pricing, ongoing residuals, and direct access to Intuit support teams compared to going direct. Panel guests Carrie Kahn, Jeff Siegel, and Dan DeLong explain how QSP partnerships create mailbox money through merchant services and provide access to vetted third-party vendors. Learn why the right-fit approach often beats Intuit's direct sales pressure and how these programs can generate new revenue streams for accounting professionals.
