Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU) used its 2026 Investor Day to outline a strategy centered on scaling its AI-driven "Intuit Intelligence" platform, expanding its mid-market and assisted-tax businesses, and restoring new customer growth after falling short of internal targets in fiscal 2026.

Chairman and CEO Sasan Goodarzi said the company delivered strong overall results, supported by its three major growth bets: assisted tax, money benefits and mid-market offerings. Together, those businesses account for about 30% of Intuit's revenue and are growing about 30%, he said. However, Intuit did not meet its new-customer targets, particularly in do-it-yourself tax filing and its core QuickBooks Online business.

"We fell short of our new customer targets, which impacted our tax performance," Goodarzi said. "While we gained share in assisted tax, where we lost share was in DIY, and we lost quality DIY customers. The number one reason why customers left us was price."

AI platform and customer-growth priorities

Goodarzi described Intuit Intelligence as a financial system of intelligence built on permissioned customer data, financial and industry expertise, and AI and human-intelligence capabilities. The company said it has data on 10 million businesses, averaging more than 625,000 data points per business.

Intuit plans to make most of its DIY tax-preparation experience AI-native for the coming tax season. Under that approach, AI would gather data, prepare tax returns and answer customer questions, while customers review and approve outcomes. In assisted tax, Intuit plans to use AI to automate preparation work while tax experts review, sign and take accountability for returns.
