Blake and David leap into the latest updates from Xerocon, including new features like traditional bank reconciliations, embedded bill pay with BILL and AI capabilities through JAX (Just Ask Xero). They look at Xero's strategy to double and how it compares to Intuit's mid-market growth focus. They also touch on the potential impact of QuickBooks' pricing strategy.
