Alicia Katz Pollock Named Insightful Accountant’s 2026 Top ProAdvisor Educator

We are thrilled to share some very big news from the Royalwise nest: Alicia Katz Pollock has been named Insightful Accountant’s 2026 ProAdvisor Educator.

This award is a major honor in the QuickBooks ProAdvisor community, and for Alicia, it represents far more than a title. It reflects years of dedication to teaching, writing, speaking, mentoring, and helping bookkeepers, accountants, and small business owners feel more confident in QuickBooks.

A Well-Deserved Recognition

If you have ever taken one of Alicia’s classes, watched a Royalwise training video, attended a webinar, read one of her books, or asked a question in the OWLS community, you already know what makes this recognition so meaningful.

Alicia does not just know QuickBooks. She knows how to teach it.

That distinction matters.

QuickBooks can feel intimidating, especially for business owners and bookkeepers who are trying to do things right but are not always sure where to click, what a setting means, or how one choice affects the next step. Alicia has built her career around making those moments clearer.

Her teaching style is practical, patient, and focused on real-world understanding. She does not just show people what to do. She explains why it matters.

That approach has helped thousands of learners move from confusion to confidence.

Years in the Making

This award is especially meaningful because it is something Alicia has worked toward for a long time.

Behind every polished class, helpful answer, book chapter, webinar, and course update are years of effort. Alicia has poured herself into creating QuickBooks education that is accurate, approachable, and useful for the people doing the work every day.

At Royalwise, we have seen the behind-the-scenes commitment firsthand. The late nights. The constant course updates. The careful explanations. The determination to make complicated topics feel doable. The deep care for students who are trying to serve their clients, support their businesses, and grow their skills.

This recognition from Insightful Accountant honors that long-standing commitment.

Why This Matters to the Royalwise Community

Royalwise has always believed that training should do more than check a box. Good education should help people understand what they are doing, feel more capable, and apply what they learn with confidence.

Alicia’s work embodies that mission.

Through Royalwise and the OWLS platform, Alicia has helped build a learning experience designed for real people with real questions. Whether someone is brand new to QuickBooks or an experienced ProAdvisor looking to sharpen their skills, Alicia’s goal has always been the same: make learning practical, clear, and empowering.

This award is not just a celebration of Alicia’s expertise. It is also a celebration of the learners, bookkeepers, accountants, small business owners, and community members who have been part of the journey.
