It’s Recertification Season!


Listen Later

Alicia and guest Matthew Fulton break down everything covered on the QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Level 1 and Level 2 recertification exams, from test-taking strategies to a deep walkthrough of the new features Intuit is testing you on. Along the way they unpack the expanded AI capabilities built into QBO, including the business feed, Finance AI, the Customer Hub, and the new analytics dashboards. If recertification season has been sitting on your to-do list, this episode is the push and the prep you need.
