Podcast Episode Overview

Alicia and Matthew break down the latest QuickBooks Online updates from the August 2025 “In the Know” webinar, including significant improvements to Intuit Enterprise Suite with shared charts of accounts, dimensions, and automated multi-entity transactions. They explore the new AI agents for payments, customer leads, and the controversial payroll agent that collects employee hours through text messaging. While some features promise major time savings, others raise concerns about accuracy and employee honesty – particularly the payroll automation that Matthew and Alicia approach with healthy skepticism.
