Trump's Administration to Intuit's Business
The incoming administration potentially impacts Intuit's operations and regulatory environment in terms of tax and financial sector with details as follow:
- Changes in tax policies: the changes in tax policies will surely affect Intuit's tax preparation software and might require updates and potentially could impact demand either in bad or good way.
- Financial regulatory changes: Intuit might have to make some changes adapting to new regulations under new administration for its accounting software, QuickBook, and Intuit's personal finance management tool, Mint.
- Data Privacy and Security: Stricter data privacy and security might be applied under new administration which would impact how Intuit handle its customer's data and data protection.
- Small Business Support: President-elect Trump is known to be more business-friendly and policies aimed at supporting small businesses will benefit Intuit's business segment Small Business & Self-Employed and potentially increase the demand for Intuit's product under the segment.
Strategic management of public policy and regulations from Intuit will play an important role in Intuit's future in order to deal with the above potential effects and to sustain its customers better.
