Alicia Katz Pollock joins the show 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.
