Intuit's Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings call was packed with numbers, and with her co-hosts sitting this one out, Alicia goes through them one by one to explain what each actually signals for bookkeepers, accountants, and QuickBooks users. She breaks down the strength of QuickBooks Online and mid-market growth, the slowdown in Desktop and Mailchimp, AI already running at scale, the shift toward assisted tax, and what the August pricing and packaging changes mean for your clients. She also steps off-script to share why she thinks Intuit raised prices before users were ready, and previews the deeper episodes coming on pricing and the ProPartner program.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueSTR Search - http://uqb.promo/str(00:00) - Welcome and Setup (01:25) - How to Read Earnings (02:49) - Companywide Results (05:09) - QuickBooks Segment Growth (08:15) - QBO Plans and Pricing (09:33) - Services Payments Payroll (12:14) - Desktop and Migration (13:18) - Mid Market Enterprise Push (15:02) - Mailchimp Reality Check (16:53) - AI at Scale (17:40) - August Pricing Shakeup (23:07) - Accountants as Customers (24:51) - Workforce Cuts and Margins (26:41) - TurboTax Trends (30:43) - Credit Karma Monetization (34:13) - Pro Tax and Wrap Up (35:58) - Training Course and Goodbye LINKSJuly 21 through October 8: HANDS-ON QUICKBOOKS TRAINING COURSE, http://royl.ws/HOT2026?affiliate=5393907Alicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookWe want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQBOPodcastSign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

Alicia runs through the latest round of Intuit announcements, including invoice deposits, garnishment tracking in Payroll, batch bill pay for up to 50 payments at once, and a redesigned review-and-pay screen that now shows clients every open invoice. She also gets a little cynical about Intuit's growing push to surface its own experts inside QuickBooks, where clients can connect directly with Intuit for setup, bookkeeping, and tax help. It wraps with a hands-on look at the new CAS revenue calculator at firmofthefuture.com and what it reveals about firm benchmarks and advisory pricing.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueC&R Consulting - http://uqb.promo/cnr(00:00) - Welcome and Overview (00:29) - Better Together Tour (01:48) - Accountant Suite Training (03:14) - Modern Reports Update (04:21) - Invoice Deposits Changes (06:24) - Customer Payment Portal (08:02) - Payroll Garnishment Tracking (09:47) - Batch Bill Pay Upgrade (10:15) - Intuit Experts Pushback (13:19) - Cash Flow Tools Coming (14:28) - CAS Revenue Calculator (24:51) - Hands On Training Class (28:17) - Wrap Up and Goodbye LINKSFirmofthefuture.comAlicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookJuly 21 through October 8: HANDS-ON QUICKBOOKS TRAINING COURSE, http://royl.ws/HOT2026?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQBOPodcastSign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

The AI-Driven Threat Matrix: Architectural Cybersecurity and Compliance for Small Firms with Michele NovackIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Michele Novack, the host and founder of Cardinalsbyte, to break down the rapidly evolving cyber vulnerabilities that threaten the financial solvency of small businesses. As a veteran risk strategist specializing in the financial services sector, Michele highlights how CPAs, accountants, and tax professionals have become prime targets for sophisticated, automated digital attacks. This conversation delivers an intentional operational roadmap for mid-market founders and executive teams looking to navigate tightening federal mandates, identify hidden security gaps within their existing infrastructure, and defend their enterprise value against highly advanced, AI-powered corporate fraud.The Anatomy of Digital Defense: Mitigating Algorithmic Vulnerabilities through Zero-Trust ProtocolsThe rapid proliferation of consumer-facing artificial intelligence has weaponized the digital threat landscape, enabling bad actors to execute automated, hyper-personalized social engineering campaigns at an unprecedented scale. Michele Novack cautions that small businesses can no longer rely on traditional, passive firewall defenses as cybercriminals increasingly deploy sophisticated voice cloning, automated phishing sequences, and deepfake video streams to bypass conventional security guardrails. A single compromised corporate email account can result in catastrophic financial loss, as demonstrated by emerging corporate wire fraud schemes where payroll managers are manipulated by synthetic, AI-generated replicas of their CEO during live video conferences. To counter this automated disruption, executive leadership must enforce rigid, non-negotiable zero-trust verification protocols—requiring multi-channel, manual confirmation for all financial movements and high-stakes data extractions completely independent of digital messaging networks.Insulating a firm against regulatory penalties and liability requires a disciplined commitment to formalizing internal data compliance programs rather than treating security as an ad-hoc IT checklist. Tightening federal mandates, such as the revised FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS security guidelines, now legally obligate financial services providers to maintain comprehensive, written documentation detailing their operational defenses. Many business owners operate under the dangerous assumption that their external Managed Service Provider (MSP) inherently handles regulatory compliance, leaving the enterprise exposed to massive liability gaps due to a complete lack of formal Written Information Security Programs (WISPs) and documented Incident Response Plans (IRPs). True enterprise resilience is achieved when leadership takes proactive ownership of corporate compliance, closing security gaps by performing routine endpoint audits, implementing geographical IP blocking, and maximizing the advanced, built-in security features native to enterprise cloud suites like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.Transforming an organization's digital posture ultimately relies on establishing a transparent, security-first corporate culture that bridges the gap between complex technical tools and human operational habits. Because human manipulation remains the primary vector for enterprise data breaches, continuous, jargon-free employee training is a vital piece of operational infrastructure. Rather than deploying clinical, one-and-done IT lectures that fail to change day-to-day employee behavior, founders must implement continuous, interactive education loops and safe phishing simulations that sharpen frontline skepticism. When clear behavioral habits, automated endpoint monitoring, and verified compliance documentation are synthesized under a unified governance architecture, a business successfully limits its operational risk. This proactive stance converts cybersecurity from a costly technical burden into a powerful, high-valuation corporate asset that fiercely protects the organization's market authority.About Michele NovackMichele Novack is the host, founder, and chief risk strategist of Cardinalsbyte, and a premier authority on small business data security and financial compliance management. Drawing from decades of specialized experience within the financial services and accounting sectors, Michele focuses on demystifying complex technical architecture to make regulatory frameworks accessible for corporate executives. She is a dedicated educator and advisor who specializes in constructing high-accountability cyber defense models designed to protect small-to-mid-sized enterprises from advanced electronic corporate theft.About CardinalsbyteCardinalsbyte is an elite risk management and cybersecurity compliance consultancy that provides custom data-protection solutions, vulnerability assessments, and regulatory mapping for professional services firms. The company specializes in translating complex federal guidelines, such as NIST frameworks and IRS mandates, into actionable corporate playbooks including Written Information Security Programs (WISPs). Through proactive technical testing, executive risk summaries, and white-glove incident response coordination, Cardinalsbyte enables mid-market organizations to eliminate administrative security debt and shield their bottom lines from systemic digital threats.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCardinalsbyte Compliance Partner Page: cardinalsbytes.com/compliance-partnerMichele Novack on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/cardinalsbyte-mnovackKey Episode HighlightsThe AI Weaponization Trap: Analyzing how deepfakes, automated voice cloning, and synthetic media bypass traditional corporate communication filters to enable catastrophic wire fraud.The MSP Compliance Gap: Understanding why standard IT vendors fail to provide mandatory regulatory documentation, and how to self-correct using structured WISPs.Maximizing Built-In Cloud Security: Leveraging and configuring the advanced, pre-existing anti-phishing dashboards embedded within Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.The Multi-Channel Verification Mandate: Implementing mandatory human-in-the-loop protocols that require dual physical authorization for high-volume financial movements.Building a Skeptical Corporate Culture: Shifting internal security training from a static annual checklist into continuous, interactive education that reduces human error on the frontline.ConclusionThe conversation with Michele Novack underscores that true cybersecurity resilience is an ongoing exercise in structural governance and human vigilance rather than an expensive software purchase. By standardizing internal corporate compliance, executing rigorous endpoint audits, and building an inclusive culture of behavioral accountability, business leaders can transform a vulnerable digital setup into a highly secure, enterprise-grade corporate asset.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Do you understand why we often tend to fall off the wagon or stop working towards our goals when it gets hard?  Our natural instinct, or our brain's way of survival, is to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy.  It is called the motivational triad, and it's true for our physical, mental, and emotional needs, and it makes sense that we would want to make sure that we are not hurt, we enjoy ourselves, and we exert as little energy as possible to survive.  This is just how our brain thinks, so anything that feels like it's too hard to do or is too draining on us emotionally or physically causes our brain to want to avoid it.  This is why it can be hard to persevere, but you can persevere, even when it gets hard.  Let's dive in…   Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Het is gelukt: er ligt een deal tussen Iran en de VS. Komende vrijdag wordt 'ie ondertekend in Zwitserland. Dan krijgen we ook de details. Voor nu is er nog een hoop onduidelijk, bovendien moet een deel ook nog ná het tekenen worden uitonderhandeld. Toch stelt het beleggers, zeker in de VS, vast gerust. Amerikaanse beurzen staan fors hoger. Is dat terecht of voorbarig? We zoeken het voor je uit. Gaan we je ook vertellen over de nieuwste tegenslag van Anthropic. De twee paradepaardjes van het bedrijf, AI-modellen Fable en Mythos, mogen de VS niet meer uit door een ingreep van de Amerikaanse overheid. Het zoveelste voorbeeld van de bekoelde relatie tussen die twee en bovendien een pijnlijke tegenvaller zo vlak voor de aanstaande beursgang. In hoeverre die daarmee ook in gevaar komt, gaan we ook bespreken. Hoor je ook nog over: Wéér een social media verbod en in hoeverre dat een gevaar is voor social media bedrijven Een kans in defensie voor een Frans autobedrijf RvC's die aandeelhouders passeren in hun bonusbeleid Nieuwe importheffingen van Donald Trump Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets Are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We sit down with specialist dental accountant Alliah Hamid to get practical about what “good value” actually looks like for UK dentists, from associates doing self-assessment to principals running a growing dental practice. If you have ever wondered whether you are overpaying tax, missing allowable expenses, or simply not getting answers when you need them, this is a clear route map for the conversation you should be having.We unpack the mindset shift from cost to investment, then make a sharp distinction between a compliance accountant and an advisory accountant. Alia explains how advisory support works in real life: understanding your goals, spotting changes in your income, keeping up with HMRC changes like Making Tax Digital (MTD), and helping you stay tax efficient without stepping outside the rules. We also talk through why dental-specific knowledge matters, including common associate costs, travel to non-permanent workplaces, education and study, and when working-from-home claims may apply.Finally, we get blunt about red flags: accountants who hide behind jargon, fail to ask intelligent questions, or stay vague about what is included in their fee. You will leave with a short list of questions to ask your accountant on Monday, plus a clearer idea of what support you should expect as you move from sole trader associate to limited company considerations and ultimately to practice ownership.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Laura Foos. Interview Overview Guest: Laura FoosHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassLocation: Camp Springs, Maryland (DMV area)Focus: Entrepreneurship, tax education, real estate ownership, multiple income streams, women in business, and asset‑based thinking Laura Foos is a serial entrepreneur, accountant, tax professional, property owner, and business educator. In this conversation, she walks through how she built several aligned businesses—from a salon to a tax firm, educational products, and a multi‑use commercial space—while raising her daughter as a single mother and intentionally building wealth through ownership. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Educate everyday entrepreneurs—especially women and small business owners—on how to use taxes, ownership, and strategy to build sustainable wealth Demystify entrepreneurship by showing how multiple income streams can grow from practical decisions, not hype Highlight asset‑based thinking, where liabilities are intentionally offset by income‑producing assets Inspire single mothers and women entrepreneurs to pursue ownership, funding, and scalability without waiting for permission Rushion positions Laura as a living example of “walking the walk”—not just talking about business success, but executing it with discipline, planning, and faith. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Location, Ownership, and Convenience Matter Laura intentionally built her life and businesses close together—owning her home of 20 years and purchasing a nearby commercial property—to maximize efficiency and control.Takeaway: Strategic location and ownership reduce friction and increase long‑term stability. 2. Taxes Are a Growth Tool—Not Just Compliance As a college‑educated accountant and longtime tax professional, Laura explains that many small business owners are taught to eliminate taxable income entirely, but this limits growth. She emphasizes the importance of: Showing income on paper Planning annually for tax obligations Using taxes strategically to qualify for loans and asset purchases Takeaway: You cannot scale—or secure funding—without showing money on paper. 3. Every Liability Should Have an Asset Attached Laura repeatedly returns to a core principle: “For every liability that I have, I want to figure out an asset that is going to pay for that. Examples include: Rental units inside her home paying the mortgage Booth rentals covering salon rent Event space, studios, and meeting rooms generating income to cover the commercial property Takeaway: Bills are optional when assets are designed correctly. 4. Multiple Streams Came from One Smart Decision What began as a tax office expanded into: A podcast studio Photography studio Meeting rooms Event space Takeaway: One owned asset can support several revenue streams if you design for flexibility. 5. Mentorship and Representation Matter Laura consciously mentors other women through: Her Confessions of a Boss Lady Facebook group (400+ women) Social media education Direct example She emphasizes that visibility—“I’m living this”—is key to inspiring others. 6. Teaching Financial Literacy Starts at Home Laura involved her daughter in entrepreneurship early, helping her launch a bracelet business to fund private school tuition. She taught her: Customer interaction Inventory management Profit allocation Reinvestment Takeaway: Wealth habits are taught, not inherited. 7. Smart Delegation Enables Growth After experiencing burnout and a health scare during the pandemic, Laura learned she could not do everything herself. She expanded her team and invested in automation. Takeaway: Growth requires letting go—not grinding harder.. 8. Faith Replaces Fear When asked why she isn’t afraid to take big risks, Laura attributes her confidence to faith. “I have fearless faith… If He put it in front of me, that’s what I’m supposed to try.” Takeaway: Purpose reduces fear and reframes failure as learning. Standout Quotes On asset‑based thinking: “For every liability that I have, I want an asset that’s going to pay for that.”. On taxes and growth: “To grow and expand and purchase things in the business name, we have to start showing something on paper.”. On entrepreneurship as a single mother: “One income is not enough.” On delegation and health: “I realized I don’t have to be in it 24 hours a day.”. On fearlessness: “If it doesn’t work, I’ll reorganize, learn the lesson, and move on. Overall Impact Laura Foos is presented as a grounded, disciplined, and strategic entrepreneur who built wealth through ownership, education, planning, and faith—not shortcuts. The interview reinforces that success is not about one big idea, but about stacking smart decisions over time. Core message:Ownership + education + faith + execution = freedom. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Intuit just cut 17% of its workforce, roughly 3,000 employees, and Alicia is joined by Dan DeLong and Matthew "Spot" Fulton to unpack what actually happened and why it isn't the AI story everyone assumed. Drawing on Dan's 18 years inside the company, they break down the real drivers behind the cuts, the unusually generous severance packages, the closing of the Reno and Woodland Hills offices, and the three big bets shaping Intuit's future. They also dig into the uncertain fate of MailChimp and what the mid-market pivot signals for ProAdvisors and the QuickBooks community.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueC&R Consulting - http://uqb.promo/cnr(00:00) - Intuit Layoffs Overview (01:57) - Why Layoffs Happen (03:01) - Dan Layoff Story (04:58) - Restructure Not AI (06:23) - Details and Office Closures (09:42) - India and Global Impact (11:50) - Culture and Job Mobility (14:15) - Severance and Support (20:47) - Layoffs and Career Growth (24:42) - Letter Management Layers (29:03) - Customer Support Outsourcing (32:10) - Strategic Hubs and Remote Work (36:09) - TurboTax Credit Karma Merge (37:04) - Restructuring Around Customers (38:09) - Three Big Bets Explained (38:46) - AI Native Done For You (39:49) - Center Of Money Push (41:56) - Mid Market Expansion (43:22) - MailChimp Cuts And Risks (47:10) - Divestiture Rumors And AI (52:36) - SMB Churn And Competition (54:42) - Closing Thoughts And Thanks (55:41) - What's New With Hosts (56:16) - Scaling New Heights Plans (58:25) - Alicia Events And Training (01:01:35) - Awards And Final Wrap LINKSIntuit Account login episode: uqb.show/81 Dan's School of Bookkeeping course about Bulk Editing Data in QuickBooks: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/a/2148284044/FzeLMxRpSchoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://snip.ly/SOBYTFree Live Workshop Wednesdays: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/workshop-wednesdayQB Power Hour: https://www.qbpowerhour.com/ Alicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookJuly 21 through October 8: HANDS-ON QUICKBOOKS COMPLETE TRAINING COURSE, http://royl.ws/HOT2026?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQBOPodcastSign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

You keep asking money to tell you who you are. Whether you're safe. Whether you're successful. Whether you're lovable, whether you're worthy, whether you're finally enough. And then you wonder why you wake up exhausted. Money can buy you a mattress, but it was never going to buy you peace, and somewhere along the way you started treating a tool like a god.Here's the part that stings. You're not creating from your bank account. You're creating from your identity account. The beliefs running your money story got installed before you even knew what a mortgage was, back when your nervous system was just taking notes on how the adults around you treated abundance. Those notes became your reality, and now your brain spends every day hunting for proof that the story is true. This episode is where I call that out and show you what actually changes when you stop worshiping the number.Episode Takeaways:Recognize the difference between using money and worshiping itName the money beliefs your nervous system absorbed before you could understand themUnderstand why misery at $10 follows you straight to $10 millionShift from asking how to get more money to asking who already feels safeSee your money story as a filter your brain keeps confirming on purposeThe version of you who is actually wealthy is not staring at a spreadsheet or refreshing the bank app. She's creating. She's laughing, building something true, trusting herself. When you stop asking money to validate you and start using it like the tool it is, you stop running the obstacle course of stress and start living like someone who already knows she's worthy. That is the shift. And it starts the moment you decide you're done being loyal to the version of you that stays stuck.Mentioned in the episode:Rich & Regulated: 15 Days to Manifest Money & Keep It — live class starts June 28, 2026. $199.

Cash flow refers to the money moving in and out of your business.  When you have a positive cash flow, it simply means that you have enough money to manage the payments of any money that goes out of your business.  If you have more money coming into your business than going out, you will have obtained a positive cash flow.  Many business owners think the only way they can increase their cash flow is to increase their sales or increase their net income.  This statement is partially true.  You will increase your cash flow if you see additional sales, but what if you could increase your cash flow without adding any additional sales?  If you are experiencing a tight cash flow, or maybe even a negative cash flow, there are things you can do in your business right now to help give your cash flow a boost without increasing your sales.  I understand there may be times in your business when you really rely on having enough cash flow to get by, and I know this past year has been hard for a number of small business owners.  If you are using a computerized software solution such as QuickBooks, you can easily generate a cash flow statement to see exactly where your business stands.  Today, I am going to talk about one simple tip you can do to help increase your cash flow, whether you are just starting your small business, you're a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant.  Your cash flow will be a huge contributor to making sure your business will survive, so listen in and make sure you follow this one simple tip...    Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

When you have your own business, it can be hard to create the work life balance many people only dream of creating.   Although having your own business sounds like you are in control of how much and how often you work, you may hear otherwise from many small business owners.  Are they working long hours, and do you need to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to be successful?  If not, how many hours do you need to put in as a small business owner to achieve success in your small business?  Believe it or not, the most important part of this question is really how you define success in your small business.  Every business owner has their own opinion about what success means in their small business, but once you have that definition and you know what your successful business looks like, you will be able to create your work schedule around it.  You will also notice a big difference in the number of hours a startup business owner works in contrast to a more seasoned business owner.  Today I am covering many aspects of work life balance and how many hours you should be working to reach the success you are looking for in your small business.  I am talking about the many differences there can be to each individual business and how your family life will have an impact as well.  Listen in and see if you are working the right number of hours in your small business, whether you are just starting your small business, you're a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

You've been the parent yelling. Or you've been the parent watching the parent yelling and thinking thank God that's not me, also it's kind of me sometimes. That's where Jonathan Carone started Healthy Sports Parents — standing on a sideline watching a dad reduce his nine-year-old to tears, feeling sympathy for the girl and empathy for the dad.Eighteen months and 100K+ Instagram followers later, Jonathan joins Chad and Craig to talk about the part of youth sports nobody puts on a brochure: the way it holds a mirror up to the parts of you that haven't been processed. The pride that swells when your kid scores. The rage that flashes when they jog. The 13-year-old running at your kid in a corner kick, who somehow turns into the kid who slammed you into a wall in 1999.We go places this conversation usually doesn't:Why the dads who knew the game best left rec league — and why that left Jim the Accountant coaching your eight-year-old off YouTube tutorialsThe "self-love and self-glory" framework Jonathan teaches in module one of his course — and why it explains every parent meltdown you've ever witnessedThe middle-school cliff that nobody talks about (top 10 of 300 kids make the team — what about the other 290?)The Let Kids Play Act, private equity vs. venture capital in youth sports, and the line between earning a living and preying on parents' fearsWhy Jonathan's book agent told him the parents who need his book most won't be the ones who buy itThe honest conversation about money: Healthy Sports Parents is a $16K-this-year side hustle. He's figuring it out in real time.Chad's daughter on a winning team who came to him and said "this isn't fun anymore" — and what they did nextIf you're staring down summer camps, all-star season, club renewals, or just one more Saturday tournament — this is the one to listen to before the games start.Jonathan Carone is the creator of Healthy Sports Parents — a podcast, social platform, and forthcoming book (Fall 2027) helping parents raise great humans through youth sports.

Roger and Annie catch up on everything that shifted while practitioners were buried in returns: a leaner, digital-first IRS under new CEO Frank Bisignano, a bumpy phase-out of paper checks, and stricter e-file matching that tripped up routine returns. The Kwong decision has handed taxpayers a hard July 10 deadline to claim refunds on COVID-era penalties and interest, with new ERC extension options and a possible conservation easement settlement adding to the summer to-do list.SponsorsPadgett -  Contact Padgett or Email Jeff PhillipsGet NASBA Approved CPE or IRS Approved CELaunch the course on EarmarkCPE to get free CPE/CE for listening to this episode.Links mentioned in this episodeChapters(00:00) - Welcome Back From DC (01:01) - What We Heard In Washington (01:52) - Busy Season Takeaways (04:08) - IRS Digital Transformation (07:57) - CAF Delays And Practitioner Pain (09:46) - Online Accounts And ID Verification (15:09) - Paper Checks Phaseout Confusion (21:15) - Efile Rejections And Fraud Filters (22:58) - Trump Accounts And State Conformity (27:27) - New Developments The Kwong Case (29:47) - What Kuang Covers (35:09) - Practitioner Duty to Notify (38:51) - Processing Delays and Proof (42:21) - ERC Extra Time Request (44:29) - Easement Penalties and Settlement (49:13) - Action Items and IRS Forums (53:52) - Wrap Up and Next Episodes Follow the Federal Tax Updates Podcast on Social Mediatwitter.com/FedTaxPodfacebook.com/FedTaxPodlinkedin.com/showcase/fedtaxpodConnect with the Hosts on LinkedInRoger HarrisAnnie SchwabReviewLeave a review on Apple Podcasts or PodchaserSubscribeSubscribe to the Federal Tax Updates podcast in your favorite podcast app!This podcast is a production of Earmark MediaThe full transcript for this episode is available by clicking on the Transcript tab at the top of this pageAll content from this podcast by SmallBizPros, Inc.

Matthew "Spot" Fulton of Parkway Business Solutions rejoins Alicia after a year-long sabbatical to share something surprisingly useful: a totally fresh perspective on QBO's new interface, AI features, and bank feeds. Having missed the frustrating transition period, Spot logged back in without the emotional baggage of watching features break in real time -- and found things better than he expected. His "cold return" experience raises a bigger question about whether proximity to the chaos has skewed how accountants assess where QBO actually stands today.Sponsors:Aqqrue - http://uqb.promo/aqqrueMaxima.AI  - http://uqb.promo/maxima(00:00) - Welcome to The Unofficial QuickBooks Accountants Podcast (00:49) - Spot Returns After Sabbatical (01:44) - Top ProAdvisor Backstory (02:34) - Logging Back Into QBO (03:34) - Bookmarks and Client Navigation (05:52) - Bank Feeds Speed Wins (06:46) - Receipt Upload Improvements (10:04) - AI Statement Reconciliation (13:50) - AI Tools and Reporting (19:19) - Vendor Names and Popups (20:31) - Upsells and Intuit Ecosystem (22:58) - How Spot Relearned Fast (26:21) - Clients Frustration and Change (27:19) - Accounting Future With AI (32:06) - Intuit Accountant Suite Tweaks (33:18) - Wrap Up and Whats Next LINKSAlicia's book on Amazon: http://royl.ws/conversion-bookPast episodes we reference:Kirsten Thulborn on subtle changes you don't notice: www.uqb.show/139Connect with Matthewhttps://www.parkway.businesshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/parkwayincAlicia's Upcoming Classes4/28/26: Converting from QBDT to QBO: http://royl.ws/QBDT2QBO?affiliate=53939075/12/26: QBO Ledger: http://royl.ws/ledger?affiliate=53939075/19/26: QBO Solopreneur: http://royl.ws/Solopreneur?affiliate=53939075/26/26: QBO Advanced: http://royl.ws/QBO-Advanced?affiliate=53939076/9/26: Intuit Accountant Suite: http://royl.ws/QBOA?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

What if the reason your firm feels so heavy isn't your workload — it's that too much of it lives in your head?Most CPAs don't need more hustle, better memory, or another piece of software. They need simpler systems that stop the chaos from depending on them personally. This episode breaks down how small operational shifts reduce mental load, calm the constant spinning, and make firms dramatically easier to run. Less scrambling. Fewer dropped balls. More clarity, more capacity, and way more breathing room. …Link to full shownotes: https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/392…Want the skinny on pricing?If you feel trapped by your own accounting firm, it's not because of the work – it's how you've priced the work. Too many accountants are stuck in undercharging, overdelivering, and people-pleasing cycles. Break the pattern with my short PDF guide: 7 Pricing Essentials »It's free, and you can read it in 5 minutes.I want to help you get your prices up without losing loyal clients.  …Want to hear what works, from 57+ clients?Check out the Client Success Stories podcast: LISTEN »

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Laura Foos. Interview Overview Guest: Laura FoosHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassLocation: Camp Springs, Maryland (DMV area)Focus: Entrepreneurship, tax education, real estate ownership, multiple income streams, women in business, and asset‑based thinking Laura Foos is a serial entrepreneur, accountant, tax professional, property owner, and business educator. In this conversation, she walks through how she built several aligned businesses—from a salon to a tax firm, educational products, and a multi‑use commercial space—while raising her daughter as a single mother and intentionally building wealth through ownership. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Educate everyday entrepreneurs—especially women and small business owners—on how to use taxes, ownership, and strategy to build sustainable wealth Demystify entrepreneurship by showing how multiple income streams can grow from practical decisions, not hype Highlight asset‑based thinking, where liabilities are intentionally offset by income‑producing assets Inspire single mothers and women entrepreneurs to pursue ownership, funding, and scalability without waiting for permission Rushion positions Laura as a living example of “walking the walk”—not just talking about business success, but executing it with discipline, planning, and faith. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Location, Ownership, and Convenience Matter Laura intentionally built her life and businesses close together—owning her home of 20 years and purchasing a nearby commercial property—to maximize efficiency and control.Takeaway: Strategic location and ownership reduce friction and increase long‑term stability. 2. Taxes Are a Growth Tool—Not Just Compliance As a college‑educated accountant and longtime tax professional, Laura explains that many small business owners are taught to eliminate taxable income entirely, but this limits growth. She emphasizes the importance of: Showing income on paper Planning annually for tax obligations Using taxes strategically to qualify for loans and asset purchases Takeaway: You cannot scale—or secure funding—without showing money on paper. 3. Every Liability Should Have an Asset Attached Laura repeatedly returns to a core principle: “For every liability that I have, I want to figure out an asset that is going to pay for that. Examples include: Rental units inside her home paying the mortgage Booth rentals covering salon rent Event space, studios, and meeting rooms generating income to cover the commercial property Takeaway: Bills are optional when assets are designed correctly. 4. Multiple Streams Came from One Smart Decision What began as a tax office expanded into: A podcast studio Photography studio Meeting rooms Event space Takeaway: One owned asset can support several revenue streams if you design for flexibility. 5. Mentorship and Representation Matter Laura consciously mentors other women through: Her Confessions of a Boss Lady Facebook group (400+ women) Social media education Direct example She emphasizes that visibility—“I’m living this”—is key to inspiring others. 6. Teaching Financial Literacy Starts at Home Laura involved her daughter in entrepreneurship early, helping her launch a bracelet business to fund private school tuition. She taught her: Customer interaction Inventory management Profit allocation Reinvestment Takeaway: Wealth habits are taught, not inherited. 7. Smart Delegation Enables Growth After experiencing burnout and a health scare during the pandemic, Laura learned she could not do everything herself. She expanded her team and invested in automation. Takeaway: Growth requires letting go—not grinding harder.. 8. Faith Replaces Fear When asked why she isn’t afraid to take big risks, Laura attributes her confidence to faith. “I have fearless faith… If He put it in front of me, that’s what I’m supposed to try.” Takeaway: Purpose reduces fear and reframes failure as learning. Standout Quotes On asset‑based thinking: “For every liability that I have, I want an asset that’s going to pay for that.”. On taxes and growth: “To grow and expand and purchase things in the business name, we have to start showing something on paper.”. On entrepreneurship as a single mother: “One income is not enough.” On delegation and health: “I realized I don’t have to be in it 24 hours a day.”. On fearlessness: “If it doesn’t work, I’ll reorganize, learn the lesson, and move on. Overall Impact Laura Foos is presented as a grounded, disciplined, and strategic entrepreneur who built wealth through ownership, education, planning, and faith—not shortcuts. The interview reinforces that success is not about one big idea, but about stacking smart decisions over time. Core message:Ownership + education + faith + execution = freedom. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
