The ProConnect Customer Council consists of 12 members and meets several times a year both in-person and virtually. The leaders at Intuit hear from Council members on various topics during the year, often leverage opportunities with industry magazines for Council members to speak on relevant topics, meet with government leaders in Washington, D.C., and have a few conference calls with the group.

The Council is engaged with the senior leaders and product managers at Intuit, particularly on its professional tax products (Intuit ProConnect Tax Online, Lacerte and ProSeries) and QuickBooks Online Accountant. The Council members are one of the biggest influencers to Intuit's higher-level strategy, which trickles down to products. Intuit has more tax and accounting professionals than any other provider, and those professionals file as many returns as TurboTax.
