In 1983, Intuit founders Scott Cook and Tom Proulx embarked on a quest to revolutionize the way individuals manage their finances.
Today, Intuit markets and develops the world's best-selling personal, small business and tax preparation software, as well
as the most comprehensive set of Web-based solutions to give consumers and businesses the power to take full control of their
financial lives, with less work.
Quicken®, the company's first product, introduced in 1984, struck a chord with consumers and has since become synonymous with
personal finance. In 1995, the company pioneered the notion of e-finance by adding online banking and bill payment to Quicken.
Today, Intuit is the leading provider of customer connectivity, working with more than 1,700 financial institutions who represent
nearly a quarter of all online banking users in the United States.
Quicken's phenomenal success fueled the creation of Intuit's other category-leading businesses beginning with QuickBooks®
small business accounting software in 1992, and continuing with TurboTax® personal tax software (through acquisition of ChipSoft
in 1993). To enhance the value of these products, Intuit created a thriving financial supplies business selling paper checks,
forms and envelopes to millions of software customers.
Intuit is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol INTU. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Intuit employs
approximately 5,000 people in 17 states and four countries. The company has annual revenues of more than $1 billion and reaches
over 23 million customers.
