The bottom line

Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU) offers the bets value for money to investors compared to its rivals. While Paychex, Inc.

Block, on the other hands, is all hands down, and with its problems having been magnified by the glitch, Intuit stands an opportunity to increase its subscriber base.

In a recent article published on Fool.com, Intuit demonstrated some strong fundamentals against Paychex with a five-year average sales growth rate of 9.3% compared to Paychex, Inc. (NASDAQ:PAYX)’s 3.4%. This is a marvelous buying opportunity for Intuit just before it announces its full year results.
