Alicia and Dan wrap up their three-part tour through the Intuit Connect Innovation Circle, covering everything from Intuit Enterprise Suite's construction-focused upgrades to MailChimp's QuickBooks integration and enhanced bill pay workflows. They discuss AI-powered project management tools, approval workflows that go seven layers deep, and how Credit Karma is now offering lending services directly within QuickBooks—plus why some features mentioned three months ago may have already launched (or been shelved entirely).

Alicia walks through her systematic approach to year-end cleanup, explaining why many business owners' books contain errors that go unnoticed until tax time. She covers the most common trouble spots—from duplicate revenue in undeposited funds to improperly categorized transactions—and demonstrates how to use QuickBooks' built-in tools like the Reclassify feature and Report Options to fix problems at their source rather than just making adjusting journal entries. The episode emphasizes why proper cleanup matters: automations and banking feeds learn from past behavior, so correcting the underlying transactions prevents the same mistakes from recurring year after year.

Alicia and Margie explore Intuit's Canny boards at intuit.canny.io, a powerful but underutilized platform where accountants can submit specific, actionable feedback directly to QuickBooks product managers and developers. They break down how to use the three available boards (bank feeds, modern view reports, and payroll), explain the difference between productive feedback and unproductive complaining, and reveal how the upvoting system helps prioritize which features get built. This transparency tool shows what's under review, what's planned, and what's already been released—but it needs more accountants to use it correctly to prove its value to Intuit.

Alicia breaks down everything accounting professionals need to know about filing 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms in QuickBooks Online for 2026. She covers who qualifies for a 1099, which payment methods require filing, how to use QBO's Contractor Center and automated filing tools, and why the $600 threshold is finally changing to $2,000 in 2027. Alicia also shares practical workarounds for common issues like material reimbursements, state filing requirements, and what to do when contractors don't return their W-9 forms.

Alicia breaks down Intuit's December In the Know session, covering three major updates for accountants managing multiple clients and entities. She explains the new consolidated view and dynamic allocations in Intuit Enterprise Suite, walks through the Books Close beta feature that lets you work across client files from a single dashboard, and details the long-awaited realm consolidation tool that finally makes it possible to move up to 75 clients between QBO Accountant instances without the previous hassles.

Alicia and Dan kick off 2026 by diving into 27 pages of notes from Intuit Connect's Innovation Circle. They break down upcoming changes to bank feeds (including confidence indicators and MasterCard receipt capture), the new payroll agent that handles timesheets via text message, enhanced tax impoundment processes, and Intuit Intelligence's business analytics features. Most innovations are rolling out between spring 2026 and early 2027, with some already appearing in testing.

Alicia runs through the latest QuickBooks Online updates rolling out this holiday season, from enhanced client request routing in the banking feed to the completely redesigned sales tax center. She covers new time tracking integrations, the text-based payroll agent, modern report improvements, and explains why toggling that sales tax checkbox doesn't actually change product taxability—a common source of reporting discrepancies that trips up many users.

Alicia opens the floor to dozens of ProAdvisors, bookkeepers, and accounting professionals who answered one question at recent conferences: "If I could say one thing to Intuit, it would be..." From concerns about constant software changes and beta testing on live users, to fears about being abandoned as Intuit shifts focus to mid-market and AI, these unfiltered voices reveal the growing tension between a company chasing innovation and the community that built its foundation. The feedback ranges from gratitude to frustration, but one message comes through clearly: the ProAdvisors who made QuickBooks an industry leader are feeling left behind.

Alicia recaps Intuit's November 20th "In the Know" webinar, covering the newly launched Intuit Accountant Suite (IAS) and its transition from QBO Accountant. She breaks down the platform's core features, pricing structure for the Accelerate version launching in 2027, and new firm management capabilities including sub-organizations and client consolidation tools. The episode also covers significant updates to the ProAdvisor program, which is evolving from annual certification compliance to a comprehensive firm-wide training system with new CAS learning pathways and team management features.

Inspired by Blue Angels pilot John Foley's keynote at Intuit Connect, Alicia explores the "Glad to Be Here" mindset and its connection to gratitude in the accounting profession. Alicia interviewed accountants during her recent conference season about the most impactful change they made this year, and their answers reveal transformations spanning client management, pricing models, hiring decisions, and even practice sales. She closes with reflections on what makes this work meaningful during a time of industry change.

Alicia is joined by Blake Oliver and David Leary from The Accounting Podcast, fresh from Intuit Connect with detailed notes on everything announced for QuickBooks Online and the accounting profession. The discussion covers Intuit's consolidation strategy to reduce reliance on third-party apps, the new tiered pricing structure for the Intuit Accountant Suite launching in 2026, and how AI agents are currently performing in bank feeds and transaction categorization. They also examine QuickBooks' move into CRM and marketing tools, the role of QuickBooks Live in Intuit's strategy, and what alternatives small businesses and accountants might consider.

Alicia and Dan examine all seven AI agents now appearing throughout QuickBooks Online, from the accounting agent that's transforming bank feeds and reconciliation to the customer hub that's building out CRM functionality. They test which features deliver genuine improvements versus which ones simply surface existing tools with new branding, sharing specific examples of where the AI surprises them with accuracy and where it still needs work. The discussion covers what's available at each subscription level and practical tips for navigating the new interface while these agents continue to evolve.
