Podcast Episode Overview

Alicia and Dan DeLong recap Intuit’s May In the Know webinar, led by the big reveal that the ProAdvisor program will sunset in early 2027 and return as Intuit ProPartner Accountants. They break down the three Intuit Accountant Suite tiers (the free Core, the paid Accelerate, and the per-client Books Close add-on), walking through custom fields, KPI dashboards, and a new ProConnect Tax workflow, with a heads-up on the deadlines before free access ends. There’s also expanded ProAdvisor support hours, the Workforce payroll rebrand, and a reminder that recertification season closes June 30.
