The company showcased more than 20 products at an Innovation Gallery Walk in New York, including new solutions ranging from a way to simplify rent payments for landlords and tenants to robust new marketing tools that will help small businesses grow.

The new products included the Intuit Health Benefits Marketplace, which will help small businesses and their employees navigate the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
