Podcast Episode Overview

Alicia opens the floor to dozens of ProAdvisors, bookkeepers, and accounting professionals who answered one question at recent conferences: “If I could say one thing to Intuit, it would be…” From concerns about constant software changes and beta testing on live users, to fears about being abandoned as Intuit shifts focus to mid-market and AI, these unfiltered voices reveal the growing tension between a company chasing innovation and the community that built its foundation. The feedback ranges from gratitude to frustration, but one message comes through clearly: the ProAdvisors who made QuickBooks an industry leader are feeling left behind.
