    Pricing vs. Features: Where's the Beef?

    Alicia and Matthew "Spot" Fulton break down the August pricing changes and the features behind them, from smarter bank feed matching and locked parent accounts to Bill Pay Elite now included in Advanced at no extra cost. Alicia also shares her own list of under-the-radar upgrades, like invoice deposits held as true liabilities and drag-and-drop bill capture, that she used to answer a Redditor questioning the price hike, plus a fraud warning on why bill approval workflows are worth turning on now.

    QuickBooks Live is Dead, Long Live Intuit Experts

    QuickBooks Live is officially retired, and Alicia sits down with Dan DeLong and Matthew Fulton to unpack what replaces it: Intuit Experts, a narrower set of services built directly into QBO Simple Start and above. They walk through the new Books Check-In, Smart Expert Categorization, and Expert Books Upkeep offerings, how the accountant-attached toggle works, and why onboarding still applies to every new client regardless of status. They also dig into the Intuit ProPartner Accountants program launching in 2027 and what firm-billed versus client-billed accounts mean for who controls what.

    Resilience in the Face of Change

    Alicia sits down with longtime friend and Intuit Trainer/Writer Network co-founder Alison Ball to trace her path from Intuit through Liscio and BookKeep to running her own consulting practice as a trusted sounding board for tech companies and practitioners alike. Alison breaks down why so many accounting tech products stumble (hint: they skip the accountants), shares Blake Oliver's now-famous advice to fix your bottleneck before pointing AI at anything else, and makes the case for why the UK's tax system might be a preview of where the US is headed. Grandkids, gardens, and gamillion-dollar vines make an appearance too.

    The ProPartner Paradox

    Alicia and returning guest Margie Remmers-Davis unpack the ProAdvisor program's transformation into ProPartner, from the Intuit Connect stage mishap that sparked panic to what the new tiers, three-year revenue share, and Career Pipeline Program actually mean for practitioners. They also dig into why the name change hits differently after a decade of Intuit pushing bookkeepers toward advisory work, and share fresh details on expanded ProAdvisor support hours that didn't make it into last week's episode.

    Intuit’s Q3 Earnings Report

    Intuit's Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings call was packed with numbers, and with her co-hosts sitting this one out, Alicia goes through them one by one to explain what each actually signals for bookkeepers, accountants, and QuickBooks users. She breaks down the strength of QuickBooks Online and mid-market growth, the slowdown in Desktop and Mailchimp, AI already running at scale, the shift toward assisted tax, and what the August pricing and packaging changes mean for your clients. She also steps off-script to share why she thinks Intuit raised prices before users were ready, and previews the deeper episodes coming on pricing and the ProPartner program.
