‘Find a Local QuickBooks Expert’ site shutting down in Canada!

This weekend, the ‘Find a Local QuickBooks Expert’ search wizard for Canada will be gone. But it’s only temporary! In September, a new and improved site will be launched. Here’s the announcement:

I couldn’t be more excited about this development! We are definitely behind our US counterparts in this regard, so this is very welcome news. I’ve been asking about and hoping for a better site for years! Here’s a peek at what the Canadian site looks like now:

7/19/13 UPDATE – FEATURE NOW GONE! I was hoping to add a screen capture of the site today but they took it down a day early! Here’s the link anyways: http://www.intuit.ca/en/intuit/findexpert_index.jsp

And here’s a link to the US site:

http://proadvisor.intuit.com/find-a-proadvisor/search.jsp

The links take you to the welcome pages, not to the search results. The differences when you actually perform a search are astronomical!

Complaints about the Canadian site aside, this is an awesome tool provided by Intuit on both sides of the 49th. I have connected with a few clients because of it, and the long-awaited improvements will be great for Canadian ProAdvisors and clients alike.
