3rd Anniversary Celebration with Hector Garcia

For UNQBA's third anniversary, Alicia welcomes back the podcast's original co-host, Hector Garcia, to look at how the industry has shifted since they started, from the rise of AI-native ledger alternatives like Xero, Digits, and Puzzle to Intuit's course correction on QuickBooks Live and Intuit Experts after accountant backlash. They dig into what "nail the basics" actually means inside Intuit, why the human relationship in accounting still matters even as AI handles more of the busywork, and what they're each watching for out of Intuit Connect and the 2027 rollout of Intuit Accountant Suite.
