Starling Acquires Ember, QuickBooks Gets Agentic AI & Xero Emails Your Clients | Accounting Tech News
This week’s episode (sponsored by FreeAgent ) dives into the latest
accounting tech news and fintech news, with sharp takes on major acquisitions and the future of user experience.
We cover:
The big fintech news as Starling acquire Ember — and what it means when a challenger bank strategically pulls the rug out from its high street competitors.
Xero's controversial decision to email your clients directly — and the debate on who should own the client relationship.
Xero's long-awaited navigation redesign and Syft-powered analytics — and whether this finally brings the user experience up to modern standards.
The launch of QuickBooks agentic AI experiences — and how they're leveraging the entire Intuit ecosystem to go beyond simple bookkeeping.
Plus: A deep dive into UI/UX with iplicit's CPO Paul Sparks, exploring why modern design and a mobile-first approach are just as critical as the AI hype.
We also hear from Tugger's Craig Morrall on why your P&L is only half the story, and how to get true business insight by combining financial and operational data.
