Victoria Fernandez dissects Intuit (INTU), explaining why it has struggled to gain customers despite dependable revenue, even as other software names recover from the "SaaS apocalypse." She notes the broader tech sector's resurgence and the surprising strength of "Magnificent Seven" stocks like Apple (AAPL) and Meta (META), and offers a cynical take on the Treasury's bond market actions as a mere "warning shot" against an unyielding market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/schwab-Network/dp/B08JJRQG9T/Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/channel/bb1b75050268416e82a557ff6387bff3/browseWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus/catalog/live-tv-channels/3123029569/schwab-networkFollow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - About | Schwab Network
AI agents are moving from simply answering questions to actually doing things for us — shopping, booking hotels, making reservations, comparing prices, managing transactions, and eventually negotiating with other machines on our behalf.That shift could have enormous consequences for some of the world's biggest companies.In this episode, I look at the rise of agentic commerce and a simple framework for determining which businesses are most exposed: How much of their value comes from removing friction, and how much scarce infrastructure or capability remains once that friction disappears?We break down what this could mean for Booking Holdings, DoorDash, Intuit, Google, Amazon, Uber, Duolingo, Microsoft, Meta, Visa, Mastercard, ASML, S&P Global, Costco, Netflix, Texas Roadhouse, and more.Some businesses may lose their direct relationship with the customer. Others could become even more valuable as AI agents increase transactions, computing demand, and the need for trusted infrastructure.The question may no longer be, “Can AI automate this business?”It may be: “What happens when an AI agent becomes the customer's gatekeeper?”0:00 The Agentic Commerce Thesis2:03 Meta Muse: The First Real Consumer Agent5:43 How AI Agents Could Reshape Business7:26 The Friction Framework: Who Is Most Exposed?11:57 The Four Stages of the Agent Economy18:28 Booking Holdings, DoorDash & Intuit27:12 Google, Amazon, Uber & Duolingo32:15 Microsoft, Meta, Visa & Mastercard36:50 ASML, S&P Global, Costco, Netflix & Texas Roadhouse41:14 Which Companies Are Most Exposed to AI Agents?
Mark Ryski spent years unable to get retail executives on the phone. He hated cold calling and was bad at it. So he wrote a book — and started sending it to CEOs of retail chains.They started taking his calls.That was three books and 23 years ago. Today HeadCount does traffic and conversion analytics for retailers in more than 20 countries, with a largest client running 1,600 stores. But the road there ran through two complete failures: a 1990s version built out of $300 of RadioShack parts that nobody wanted, and a 2003 relaunch that also went nowhere.In this episode of the Command Your Brand Show, Jeremy Ryan Slate talks with Mark about using authorship as a door-opener, knowing when NOT to pivot, and what actually separates real thought leadership from the performative kind.In this conversation:- Watching customers walk out of a store without buying — the problem that started everything- Why his boss wouldn't spend $2,500 on a traffic counter, and what he built instead- Two failed versions of the same company, ten years apart- Eight years at Intuit running QuickBooks for Canada- "The credibility of authorship" — how a self-published book replaced cold calling- Why a little success can misdirect an entrepreneur worse than failure does- When holding your course beats pivoting, and how to tell the difference- Losing 40% of revenue when COVID closed retail — and what came after- The Jeff Bezos question he's never stopped thinking about: what WON'T change?- Three honest tests for whether someone is actually a thought leaderIf you're building authority in a field where nobody knows your name yet, this one's worth your time.

John Toon is joined by Kendrick Hair of Fishbowl and Leigh Stallard for a news episode about who ends up owning the client. Leigh opens on a LinkedIn post from Joshua at Reva, written after Starling took heat for putting books next to the current account. The more interesting move is embedding the service itself, advisers included, inside the platforms an SME already uses. Uprise is doing exactly that in the US. John's caveat is that nobody has done it at scale yet, although compliance is already being commoditised and Mazuma has been running like a software company with accountants attached for years. Kendrick brings the US lens on firms niching hard into tax as technology moves onto their patch. Fishbowl has bought Repfabric, and Kendrick takes the two questions customers actually ask after an acquisition. Does the brand disappear, and do the connections to competing products get switched off. His answers are no and no. Repfabric brings a decade of commissions, territories and multi-line sales work to sit in front of everything Fishbowl already does once the order lands. Kendrick then picks up Joiin Intelligence, which goes exception hunting rather than writing prose about revenue. Its agents clean the chart of accounts, build eliminations and diagnose a consolidated balance sheet that will not balance. John's angle is where the data physically goes once a firm hands it to a model, and why Joiin running on AWS matters to anyone with GDPR to answer to. He remembers early Jax being slower than clicking the report. Leigh follows with Joiin's new report pack sharing and the wider point underneath it. Firms do not adopt what they cannot picture themselves using, so a release that ships without a workflow attached quietly dies in the inbox. Then the Xero run. Engager, now part of TaxCalc, ships its August features, and John pushes back on listening to the loudest customer instead of leading. Kendrick covers BrightPay's Oscar onboarding assistant, Pay by Bank, and the cloud transition Bright had to pull and rebuild. Leigh takes Xero's developer growth programme for practice apps and John asks what it says about Xero Practice Manager. Back orders and prepayments land in the Xero API, which Kendrick has been waiting for and which Cin7, Katana and Fishbowl are not using yet, and Leigh explains why giving people back orders in core Xero is a dog on a half-submerged pontoon. Also covered: Trent McLaren's map of where there is still room to build in the Xero ecosystem, the test of whether a Xero product manager could describe your product in one sentence, and what it now costs vendors to keep the data flowing since Xero and Intuit both put a price on API access.

Bill Harris discusses the rapidly evolving role of AI personal finance, sharing his experience building companies including Intuit, PayPal, Personal Capital, and his own Evergreen Wealth. We explore how AI is currently being used primarily for internal efficiencies, research, and basic advisor tasks, while the bigger opportunity lies in delivering highly personalized financial guidance directly to consumers. Bill explains why AI still struggles with math, accuracy, consistency, and privacy, and why financial applications should combine AI with deterministic tools and strong security protections. We also talk AI's potential in tax preparation, portfolio management, and investment research, the importance of specialized financial AI systems, and the emerging hybrid model that combines AI technology with human financial advisors. We discuss... How AI is transforming financial technology and why its biggest opportunities may come from highly personalized financial guidance. Most financial institutions currently use AI primarily for internal cost savings, while advisors tend to use it for basic tasks like note-taking. Why consumers are adopting AI for financial questions faster than financial advisors and firms are integrating it into their practices. Why general-purpose AI can produce inaccurate and inconsistent financial answers, particularly when it comes to complex calculations. The growing importance of privacy and security when using AI with sensitive personal and financial information. How specialized financial AI can combine frontier models with secure environments and strict controls to protect users' data. How AI could improve tax preparation by handling reasoning and personalized interactions while relying on deterministic tools for calculations. Why AI's probabilistic nature means it should use separate deterministic tools for financial calculations that require consistent and repeatable results. The limited use of AI in actual portfolio management and investment decisions, with most professionals currently using it primarily for research, analysis, and idea generation. Specialized AI systems built specifically for financial applications will be more effective than general-purpose AI because they can be trained to use the right tools for specific tasks. The future of financial advice and why a hybrid model combining AI technology with human advisors could provide the most powerful and personalized experience.

Most companies that hire someone in another state have no idea they've just taken on a compliance obligation in that state.Nellie Akalp has been forming businesses since 1997. She founded MyCorporation.com, sold it to Intuit in 2005, and started CorpNet in 2009 — where she now runs a 100+ person company that keeps businesses compliant across all 50 states.In this episode of the Command Your Brand Show, Jeremy Ryan Slate talks with Nellie about what actually happens when you expand across state lines — and about building the same kind of company twice. (Full disclosure: Command Your Brand is a CorpNet customer. We found them through Gusto and used them to register in Georgia. This isn't a sponsored episode.)In this conversation:- What foreign qualification actually means, and why hiring in a state triggers it- Payroll tax registration, workers' comp, and the obligations most remote companies miss- Why she left law school money on the table to start an internet company in 1997- Selling MyCorporation to Intuit — and starting over from zero- Eight hard years at CorpNet before anything worked- How COVID told them which product to build the company around- Scaling 12 people to 100+ — what actually had to change- Why they promote from within and refuse to hire leadership from outside- The one non-negotiable: they don't sell customer data- Where AI helps, and where they keep a human in the loop on purposeIf you're hiring remotely, expanding into a new state, or just not sure whether you're actually compliant where you operate — start here.This conversation is for general educational purposes and is not legal, tax, or financial advice. Rules vary by state and change often. Consult a qualified professional about your specific situation.
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.Sponsors:Intuit Accountants - http://uqb.promo/intuitPilot - http://uqb.promo/pilotKick.co - http://uqb.promo/kick(00:00) - Anniversary Kickoff (02:03) - Industry Shifts and New Rivals (03:38) - AI First Accounting Platforms (08:04) - Spite Switching and Multi Ledger (10:36) - QuickBooks Live Backlash (14:23) - Repositioning Experts and Value (19:59) - Markets Are Conversations (25:38) - Training and ProPartner Future (29:48) - Accountants Split on AI (36:47) - Human Value in an AI World (41:10) - Hector Updates Right Tool Reframe (45:51) - Alicia Courses and QBO Deep Dives (48:47) - Wrap Up and Next Episode LINKSAlicia's Fall classes!

Hector Garcia joins Blake and David to unpack Intuit's TurboTax pricing pressure, QuickBooks' push into the mid-market, and whether AI-powered services are a bridge to automation.

Award-winning director, author, speaker mentor, and entrepreneur Tricia Brouk returns to One Sharp Sword for a powerful conversation about ambition, presence, service, and wise leadership. Tricia takes Dr. Wayne Pernell from her childhood on a Missouri farm to a global dance career that included performing with Mikhail Baryshnikov. She shares how appearing in Antigone shortly after 9/11 transformed her understanding of art as service—and why influential communicators must show up prepared to care for their audience. They explore why speakers should share from the scar rather than the wound, the difference between having emotion and becoming emotional, and how Tricia's STILL method—Stop, Tune In, Intuit, Listen, and Learn—helps leaders respond from wisdom instead of ego. Tricia also discusses Being Smart Is Stupid, The Wise Leopard, the upcoming film Dog Years, and the leadership lesson at the heart of her relationship with Wayne: work with people who make you better.

We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.He co-founded PayPal with Elon Musk, sold Personal Capital for nearly $1B — and spends $70K a year.Bill Harris has a résumé that barely fits on one page. He was CEO of Intuit, founding CEO of PayPal — in the room with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Max Levchin above a bakery near Stanford — and then founded Personal Capital, which he grew to $23 billion in AUM before selling it to Empower Retirement for close to $1 billion. He's done something like that 11 times. Today his net worth is around $100 million, he's 70 years old, and he spends less than $100,000 a year. He sold his houses, cars, airplane, and 31 pets (including two mountain goats and an iguana) and moved into a small cottage near Miami Beach where he bikes to work every day.This episode gets into what $100 million actually looks like when it's spread across public equities and private operating companies — and why the man who built one of the most important wealth management firms in history keeps his own annual spend near $70K. We go deep on the PayPal origin story, what it was like being "theoretically the CEO" in a room full of people whose egos "wouldn't fit in a large gymnasium," and the specific moment Bill realized that his houses, cars, and airplane weren't making him richer in the ways that mattered. He also shares his best piece of investing advice for people in their 30s, his take on why the S&P 500 isn't as diversified as most people think, and what he calls "freedom money."Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue. We saw a lot of these money conversations happening privately behind closed doors and we thought, "What the heck, let's make it public."

Growing Your Firm | Strategies for Accountants, CPA's, Bookkeepers , and Tax Professionals
Is your accounting firm stuck between AI enthusiasts who move too fast and skeptical team members who refuse to adopt new technology? Bridging the gap between enthusiastic leadership and hesitant team members is one of the biggest challenges facing modern firms today. In this episode of Growing Your Firm, host David Cristello sits down with Jan Haugo, founder and AI researcher at smartaccountant.ai and co-author of Intuit's official AI certification curriculum. Jan researches and validates 50+ emerging AI tools annually for controllership, Record-to-Report (R2R), AP/AR, and advisory workflows. Jan breaks down how to bring your entire firm onboard with AI safely, navigate critical security and redaction requirements, and use AI to transform sales, onboarding, and advisory workflows. In this episode, we explore: Bridging the Team Divide: How to align AI enthusiasts and detractors to move the entire firm forward together. The Enterprise Security Advantage: Why staying within Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini ecosystems solves the PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and redaction hurdles. The Danger of Adobe Redaction: Why blacking out text in PDFs isn't enough to hide underlying metadata from AI models. Mapping Workflows Backward: Why defining the desired outcome before selecting software leads to better automation. Building a Custom AI "Sales Agent": How to train AI on your unique brand voice to research prospects, analyze websites, and guide discovery calls in real time.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest earnings from major U.S. retailers, Canadian banks, and one beaten-down software company. We start with Walmart and Target, where the results show that the consumer may be starting to feel more pressure. Walmart continues to perform well overall, but its comparable sales growth slowed sharply, and management noted that higher gas prices are changing consumer behaviour. Target showed stronger comparable sales than expected, but both retailers are leaning on price cuts and grocery strength as discretionary spending remains under pressure. We then turn to Canadian bank earnings, including Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank and National Bank. We discuss provisions for credit losses, improving margins, strong capital markets results, wealth management growth, and why the banks continue to deliver despite concerns about the Canadian economy. Finally, we look at Intuit after its latest earnings, including the pressure facing TurboTax and Mailchimp, the continued strength of QuickBooks, and whether AI and pricing pressure are starting to disrupt parts of the business.

Elise Houlik is the Chief Privacy Officer at Intuit, where she leads the company's global privacy and responsible data innovation and protection strategy, ensuring data is used to safely power innovation across Intuit's ecosystem of financial technology products. Her team is deeply engaged with the business on all matters related to product development, data innovation and governance, and information security. In this episode… Legal and privacy professionals are using AI more often to save time and accomplish more in their day-to-day work. While these tools offer clear advantages, they also generate convincing outputs that are incomplete, generic, or factually wrong. Using AI responsibly requires professionals to apply human judgment and review the output closely to ensure it is accurate and supported before relying on it. As AI becomes more embedded in legal and privacy work, critical thinking skills remain just as important as knowing how to use the technology. Professionals get the most value from AI when they view it as a collaborator, rather than an authority. As privacy and legal teams use AI to kickstart analysis, pull facts together, and hunt for nuances across fragmented laws, they need to compare its answers against actual laws and reputable sources and challenge the tool when an output misses the mark instead of accepting it at face value. Being mindful about the personal information they put into public models is equally important. Professionals should also be comfortable using a variety of different tools and learning which ones fit different purposes. And as companies hire the next generation of tech-savvy professionals, they need to ensure they don't become overly reliant on AI and provide them with hands-on experience and exposure to real conversations that strengthen analytical skills. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Elise Houlik, Chief Privacy Officer at Intuit, about the importance of maintaining human intelligence in the age of AI. Elise shares how AI is changing the skills employers value in legal and privacy professionals and explains why human judgment, curiosity, and a willingness to challenge AI-generated answers are essential as these tools become a standard part of workflows. She highlights why junior professionals still need practical experience and peer-to-peer learning opportunities and shares her perspective on keeping human intelligence at the center of how professionals use AI. Elise also offers tips for building AI skills and experimenting with different tools.

Meta Platforms has been the subject of several lawsuits. By some estimates, the potential fines for these lawsuits were as high as the market cap of the entire company. Today, the company settled several of these high-profile lawsuits for $18 billion and for several changes to its social media apps.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026. #1 – From SHALE CRESCENT USA – A world-class manufacturing advantage What happens when abundant energy, major markets and manufacturing infrastructure all come together in one place? That's the case being made by Shale Crescent USA for West Virginia and the surrounding region. Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania together rank as the world's third-largest natural gas-producing region. The Shale Crescent also sits within a day's drive of 170 million Americans, putting manufacturers close to both energy supplies and customers. That combination can mean shorter supply chains, lower transportation costs and reduced time moving raw materials in and finished products out. For West Virginia, it's another opportunity to turn abundant resources and a strategic location into manufacturing investment and jobs. Read more: https://shalecrescentusa.com/a-world-class-manufacturing-advantage/?utm_source=chatgpt.com #2 – From MARSHALL UNIVERSITY – Marshall's IDEA District keeps building momentum Marshall University is moving forward with its vision for a new center of innovation in Huntington. The university recently unveiled the next phase of its $300 million IDEA District, short for Impossible Doesn't Exist Anymore, with new partnerships, facilities and private-sector investment taking shape. The former Latta's building will become the IDEA Collaborative, bringing the Huntington Area Development Council, Marshall's iCenter and other partners together in one location. Plans also call for a new Med-Tech Building, while construction continues on the Institute for Cyber Security. IBM, Intuit, Alpha Innovations and DroneTrace have committed to maintaining a presence there, creating opportunities for hands-on learning, applied research and workforce development. Marshall is also working with South Korean company UNDBIO on early plans for an insulin manufacturing facility that could create 1,700 jobs. The bigger goal is to bring education, research, entrepreneurship and private industry together in one district where ideas can become companies, careers and economic growth.

The boutique, named for her children Zeke and Sylvia, welcomes brides regardless of size, budget or aesthetic. Morris deliberately avoids many of the restrictions common in bridal shopping, giving customers time and individual attention to find the dress that makes them feel their best. Before opening, Morris connected with the West Virginia Small Business Development Center, where Business Coach Julia Moran helped her work through projections, budgeting, vendor relationships and marketing. The approach is working. Customers are now traveling from across West Virginia and neighboring states, with some driving three hours or more based on recommendations and social media.

En el episodio de hoy Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Valentina Orduz analizaron el dato de PCE de julio previo a la reunión en Jackson Hole que cubre temas económicos y de política monetaria, y contrastaron ese panorama con el Consumer Checkpoint de Bank of America. También revisaron los resultados de Intuit, castigada en bolsa pese a superar expectativas, y el temor a que la IA generativa erosione a TurboTax y QuickBooks. Cerraron con el cierre de Mechanical Turk de Amazon y lo que revela sobre el nuevo negocio de los datos para entrenar inteligencia artificial.
US stocks rose for a third straight day as yields eased, oil fell about 3% on Iran de-escalation signals and chip stocks rebounded ahead of Nvidia's earnings. After the bell, Intuit beat expectations with 14% revenue growth and its first $20 billion-plus year, though its fiscal 2027 outlook points to slower growth.>>> Follow me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/endrit-cela/>>> Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/endritcela_official/Disclaimer for "Capital Markets Quickie" Podcast:The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are based on information available at the time of recording and reflect the personal perspectives of the host.

Die Wall Street startet nahezu unverändert in den Tag. Die PCE-Preisinflation für Juli hat die Erwartungen im Wesentlichen getroffen und liefert damit zunächst keinen neuen Inflationsschock. Damit kann sich der Fokus unmittelbar auf Nvidia verlagern, die heute nach Börsenschluss Zahlen melden. Die Erwartungen sind hoch. JP Morgan rechnet mit einem Beat-and-Raise-Quartal, sieht den Umsatz bei 94 bis 95 Milliarden US-Dollar und den neuen Ausblick bei 107 bis 108 Milliarden US-Dollar. Gleichzeitig ist die Stimmung zuletzt deutlich optimistischer geworden und Short-Positionen wurden zurückgefahren mit einer entsprechend hohen Messlatte. Der Optionsmarkt preist eine Bewegung von rund 4,6 Prozent ein. Für Entspannung sorgt der Ölpreis. Brent fällt um rund drei Prozent auf etwa 86 US-Dollar, nachdem Iran und Oman Fortschritte bei einer Vereinbarung zur Öffnung der Straße von Hormus signalisiert haben. Gleichzeitig bleibt Software unter Druck. Intuit enttäuschte mit dem Umsatzausblick, und Analysten reagieren drastisch: JP Morgan stuft die Aktie von „Overweight“ auf „Neutral“ ab und kappt das Kursziel von 605 auf 331 US-Dollar. Die Bank warnt, dass sich die Risiken durch KI-Disruption inzwischen von TurboTax auf QuickBooks ausweiten. Im Einzelhandel fallen die Zahlen uneinheitlich aus. Wirklich beeindruckende Zahlen und Aussichten meldet Abercrombie, mit der Aktie entsprechend fest. Bath & Bodyworks senkt bei genauer Betrachtung die Ertragsaussichten. Bei Kohl's enttäuschen die vergleichbaren Umsätze, und es sind vor allem Zollerstattungen, die den Ertrag angefacht haben.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcNvidia earnings are coming up, and this is exactly the kind of situation where traders start convincing themselves they know what's going to happen next. But what if the better approach is to stop trying to predict the earnings reaction and simply follow what the data is telling you right now?This conversation takes a full top down look at Nvidia, starting with the overall market, then the Nasdaq, technology sector, semiconductors, and finally Nvidia itself. And the picture isn't exactly screaming “buy.” Nvidia is trading below the 10, 20, and 50 EMAs, volume has been declining, overhead resistance is sitting above price, and the semiconductor industry is showing only 18% buy signals and falling fast.There's a part in here that really hits. A company can have incredible earnings and still see its stock fall. The market doesn't simply trade the numbers. It trades expectations, fear, greed, positioning, and how investors react to the information. That's why the discussion keeps coming back to one simple idea: you don't have to know what Nvidia will do after earnings. You need to know what your plan says to do.The broader market analysis gets interesting too. SPY, Nasdaq, technology, semiconductors, energy, and healthcare are all showing very different signals. The discussion also looks at oil, bond yields, inflation concerns, and the possibility of sector rotation. Energy is showing some strength, with names like Permian Resources, Murphy Oil, and Vermilion standing out, but geopolitical risk makes the sector too unpredictable to touch right now.And then there are some great individual stock breakdowns. Sandisk shows why massive winners can eventually become dangerous when the trend changes, while Salesforce, Intuit, and CrowdStrike offer a look at some of the software names trying to recover. CrowdStrike is especially interesting because it was one of the stocks identified through the Sector Intelligence Map and produced a 4% gain during the forward test.✅ Nvidia earnings preview and full top down analysis✅ SPY, Nasdaq, technology, and semiconductor market analysis✅ Nvidia technicals, volume, EMAs, order blocks, and Fear & Greed✅ Energy sector, oil, bond yields, inflation, and sector rotation✅ Salesforce, Intuit, CrowdStrike, Sandisk, and individual stock analysisIf you've ever bought a stock right before earnings because “the numbers should be good”… this one is worth watching. Good earnings don't automatically mean a higher stock price, and sometimes the smartest trade is simply staying in cash until the trend gives you a reason to act.Video Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWecBvicQ24https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F5xOmnkGfUSubscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

Bob Parsons is navigating his golf cart through the twisting dry dirt road of the golf course he built in the Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale, Arizona, avoiding lizards, rabbits and giant saguaros. He stops near the ninth hole, named Catfish, which overlooks a manmade lake and surrounded by three million acres of preserved land. It cost Parsons hundreds of millions of dollars to develop and renovate Scottsdale National, which has two 18-hole courses and the “Bad Little Nine,” a punishingly difficult nine-hole par-three course. He points to the center of the lake where a small black hut sits with the words “Suggestion Box” painted in white. “This is a marvelous spot to put a suggestion box,” the 75-year-old Parsons tells Forbes. “The vent is painted on. I guess you could try.” After all, Parsons did not become a billionaire by taking other people's suggestions. He built his fortune thanks to his nonstop hustle, often working 60-plus hours straight. He sold his first company, Parsons Technology, which made personal finance and tax software, to Intuit for $64 million in 1994 (or about $165 million today). In 1997, he started domain name registrar GoDaddy and sold a 71% stake for $2.3 billion in 2011 (or $3.4 billion today). By Will Yakowicz, Forbes Staff. Learn more about your ad choices.

Think PCI compliance is something you can outsource? Think again. Todd Coshow and Adam Goslin break down the biggest misconceptions about PCI DSS, from third-party payment processors and SAQs to merchant versus service provider responsibilities. Learn why outsourcing payment processing doesn't eliminate your compliance obligations, how scope really works, and why treating PCI as a one-time paperwork exercise creates unnecessary risk. This episode is essential listening for merchants, service providers, and anyone navigating PCI compliance for the first time.Episode Transcript:Now, Adam, a long time ago in a land far, far away, there was a time where you asked the question, “What is PCI?” So bring the listeners up to speed on that.Adam Goslin:Everybody gets their start somewhere, and PCI was definitely mine.I had kinda made my way up the IT management ranks. Boss comes by. Don't ask me why, he decided to print the entirety of the PCI standards, but literally drops a four-inch deck of paper on my desk and says, “Hey, we need to get compliant with this.”I'm looking at the cover page, and it says PCI on it, and I literally said, “What's PCI?”So that was my entree into the land of security and compliance.I sat there staring at this volume of information and wondering, “What the hell do I do with this? Where do I go? How do I start?” etc.It's part of why I decided to step into the space to help people, because I clearly remember just how overwhelming it felt to be looking at that much stuff, not having any clue what the hell it was, what it meant, what it's for, does it even apply to us, etc.All the way around, it was very overwhelming to step into the compliance arena not already having been initiated.TCT has, both I and TCT have kinda specialized in PCI since our inception, and the consulting work that I was doing for folks in the space, the history of the consulting practice goes back even further than PCI's existence.As we were sitting there and contemplating the types of things that organizations new to the space are facing, we decided to put together this almost like a frequently asked questions when you're getting a compliance program off the ground.Frequently asked PCI questions when you're getting a compliance program off the ground.Todd Coshow:Does PCI apply to merchants who outsource all payment processing?Adam Goslin:It's one of the common questions that I'll get.They'll be like, “Oh, well, we don't touch anything. We go ahead and outsource all of our payment stuff to blabbity-blah. That's not my problem, and PCI doesn't apply to us.”The answer is you're wrong.Companies that are not storing, processing, transmitting, or receiving cardholder data, they still are subject to the PCI DSS.One of the biggest misunderstandings is, sure, there's some technical elements of how you've done what you've done in terms of the connectivity. The devil's always in the details.If you have a merchant account that is in any way, shape, or form receiving payments via credit cards, then you too get to fill out your PCI paperwork.That's one of the biggest misunderstandings that organizations have.Honestly, a lot of the big names that have come out in the space over time, the Stripes, the Squares, the Intuits, if you will, back in the day, it was like the Wild West.“Well, I'll just go get a Stripe account, so I don't have to worry about this.”“Go process my stuff through Intuit, that way I don't have to worry about it.”The unfortunate part is that those organizations were on this mad race to get people to jump over to their platform and process their stuff via their platform, but they weren't really doing a great job with enforcing, mandating that people were actually following the PCI DSS.That kind of became a problem for a while because they were able to go in and easily turn it on, etc., and there wasn't any enforcement arm that was coming at them.

QuickBooks Live is officially retired, and Alicia sits down with Dan DeLong and Matthew Fulton to unpack what replaces it: Intuit Experts, a narrower set of services built directly into QBO Simple Start and above. They walk through the new Books Check-In, Smart Expert Categorization, and Expert Books Upkeep offerings, how the accountant-attached toggle works, and why onboarding still applies to every new client regardless of status. They also dig into the Intuit ProPartner Accountants program launching in 2027 and what firm-billed versus client-billed accounts mean for who controls what.Sponsors:Intuit Accountants - http://uqb.promo/intuitPilot - http://uqb.promo/pilotKick.co - http://uqb.promo/kick(00:00) - Welcome and Setup (01:12) - QuickBooks Live Ends (02:47) - What Makes an Expert (07:08) - Firm of the Future Article (11:03) - Who Intuit Experts Serve (13:41) - Pro Partner Matching Network (15:35) - Services Built Into QBO (17:31) - Breaking Down New Services (21:36) - Consent and Default Off (25:57) - Intelligent Onboarding (28:50) - Cross Sell and Workforce (34:18) - Do They Compete With Firms (38:16) - Marketing Toggle Recap (38:52) - Unknown Accountant Status Rules (40:17) - Overlap Services Confusion (43:52) - Onboarding Versus Suppression (45:52) - Where Controls Live (46:28) - Client Versus Firm Billing (49:55) - Expert Hub Visibility (52:51) - QuickBooks Live Rebrand (56:39) - Why Intuit Changed Course (59:42) - What To Do Now (01:05:11) - ProPartner And Suite Updates (01:06:40) - Wrap Up And Community (01:07:32) - Hosts Updates And Outro LINKSIntuit Experts Shift: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/product-update/intuit-experts-and-accountant-controls/Intuit Experts Onboarding: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/r/bookkeeping/quickbooks-onboarding/Alicia's upcoming classes:3rd Party App Exploration, Aug 12: http://royl.ws/3rdpartyIntuit Enterprise Suite, Aug 19: http://royl.ws/intuit-enterprise-suiteBattle of the Books - QBO vs. Xero, sponsored by Xero: https://xero.zoom.us/webinar/register/4717843154915/WN_jWTalQhPSka8DGL2mQerIA#/registrationAI in QBO: http://royl.ws/AIIntuit Accountant Suite in Sept: http://royl.ws/IASDan's School of Bookkeeping blog on AI/Claude:Connect Claude to QuickBooks Online?: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/QBOClaude What Specifically can Claude do in QuickBooks Online: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/what-specifically-can-claude-do-in-quickbooks-online No, AI Isn't Coming for Your Bookkeeping Job: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/AIinAccounting1 The Blind Spots Automation Can't See (Yet): Where QuickBooks AI Still Needs a Human: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/AIinAccounting2 How to Become the Human Your Clients (and Their AI) Actually Need: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/AIinAccounting3 Schoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://snip.ly/SOBYTFree Live Workshop Wednesdays: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/workshop-wednesdayQB Power Hour: https://www.qbpowerhour.com/ We 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

Summary:In this episode, Paulette Rigo interviews Tunji Ajigbeda about the importance of financial literacy, managing money during divorce, and building a healthy financial future. They explore practical strategies, mental models, and the emotional aspects of money to help listeners improve their financial health and relationships.About Tunji:I'd like to introduce you to a man who technically retired… and then immediately decided to keep working anyway. Not because he has to – but because he genuinely loves helping people achieve their dreams. He helps people get out of debt, build financial confidence, and create long-term habits that stick. He saw a gap in our society: nobody really teaches us how to budget, save, create passive income, or build financial freedom. So he made it his mission to help fill that gap. And he practices what he preaches. He often will run scenarios on himself first before pitching a strategy to a client because he wants them to be prepared for success, not surprised. He has over 20 years of expertise. He is certified as a ProAdvisor by Intuit for QuickBooks Online. He's also a member of the American Association of Daily Money Managers — a professional organization helping businesses and individuals with day-to-day financial tasks with trust and integrity.

Andrew Morbitzer, VP of Corporate Development, Life360 (ASX: 360) Your standard teaser tells a buyer everything about your company and nothing about why you fit their strategy right now. When sellers expect the buyer to figure out that alignment, the deal dies on the desk. Andrew Morbitzer has led more than $2 billion in acquisitions at Intuit and GoDaddy, worked on the sell-side as an M&A advisor, and returned to the buy-side as VP of Corporate Development at Life360.

Dean Guida started Infragistics at 23 to build UX/UI tools for professional software developers. Thirty-seven years later, the company operates across six countries, its software is used by more than two million developers, and its customers span the entire S&P 500—including Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, Exxon, Intuit, and Bank of America. But AI can now generate functional software in minutes. So what prevents a company like Infragistics from becoming obsolete? I wanted to understand which parts of software AI will commoditize, where lasting competitive moats will still exist, and why Dean believes the idea that software is disappearing has been dramatically oversold. We also talk about how he built a multi-8-figure company without outside capital, why he might raise money if he started again today, and what founders need to build once grit alone is no longer enough to scale.

Why More Sales Won't Fix a Broken Business with Doug C. Brown Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/ You had a strong year by every number that shows up on a dashboard. Revenue up. Team growing. More clients. And you still moved money around to make payroll, or woke up at 3am doing math that did not add up. This is not bad luck. It is what happens when a business is built on revenue logic instead of profit math, and the gap between what comes in and what goes out is not being measured, tracked, or managed. Doug C. Brown has been inside 37 companies, generated more than $1 billion in revenue, and personally left more than $50 million on the table before he stopped chasing sales and started running the formula. In this episode, he and Rocky work through the math, the mindset, and the mechanics that separate owners who build real wealth from owners who just get busier. In This Episode: Why most business owners are visionaries who were never taught to run the enterprise around their craft The 13% margin math: why a $100,000 revenue loss requires $760,000 to recover How denial keeps owners in the cash crisis even after the warning signs appear What a recession plan needs to include before the crisis hits Why predatory short-term loans turn a 3-month problem into a 2-year problem How to read the balance sheet as a wealth instrument, not a compliance document The budget-and-checkpoint framework for killing bad bets before they drain you Key Takeaways: Money in plus money out equals a result, and that result equals the quality of life for everyone who depends on your business. At 13% margin, a $100,000 revenue loss requires $760,000 in new sales to break even. Most owners never run that math. Build the recession plan before you need it. When the emotion hits, you execute the plan instead of making reactive decisions that deepen the hole. The P&L tells you last period's health. The balance sheet tells you where wealth is actually accumulating. Most owners never look at the changes between two balance sheets. Set a budget, give the initiative a defined runway, hold a checkpoint, and be willing to pull the plug. Most owners keep trying things until they run out of money. About Doug Brown: Doug C. Brown is a revenue growth advisor with over 30 years of experience helping founder-led companies uncover hidden profit, improve margins, and capture cash already inside the business. Over his career, he has generated more than $1 billion in revenue, delivered a $17 million turnaround at Intuit, produced $14 million in one year for Tony Robbins' Business Breakthroughs International, and helped companies grow from $3.5 million to successful exits at 5x revenue. Doug has worked with Fortune 500 brands, national companies, and more than 200 founder-led businesses across industries including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and professional services. He is also the host of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, ranked in the top 2.5% globally, where he shares insights on revenue growth, profit improvement, and business scalability.

Alicia sits down with longtime friend and Intuit Trainer/Writer Network co-founder Alison Ball to trace her path from Intuit through Liscio and BookKeep to running her own consulting practice as a trusted sounding board for tech companies and practitioners alike. Alison breaks down why so many accounting tech products stumble (hint: they skip the accountants), shares Blake Oliver's now-famous advice to fix your bottleneck before pointing AI at anything else, and makes the case for why the UK's tax system might be a preview of where the US is headed.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Peter Ross as guest to the show. About Peter Ross, Co-Founder & CEO of Senior Helpers®: Peter Ross is the CEO and Co-Founder of Senior Helpers®, a leading national provider of in-home senior care, a role he has held since 2006. He is also the CEO and Founder of Town Square Franchising, launched in 2018, which focuses on innovative adult day services and supportive care experiences for older adults and families. Peter has been a longtime leader in the home care and healthcare industries, having served on the Board of Directors for the Home Care Association of America from 2008 through 2021, including as Board President from 2013 to 2020. He is a current CEO Member of the Healthcare Leadership Council in Washington, D.C., and previously served as CEO and Co-Founder of Doctors Express Urgent Care. His broader leadership background includes executive roles with ADP, Ernst & Young, and Intuit, as well as board service with the New England Conservatory of Music and From the Top. About Senior Helpers®: Senior Helpers® is the nation's premier provider of in-home, non-medical senior care services, offering specialized support for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions, as well as personal care and companion care for those who need assistance with daily activities. Their services are flexible and completely customizable, allowing each personalized care plan to combine different aspects of their care offerings based on the individual needs of each client. When a family first contacts a Senior Helpers office, the process begins with a complimentary initial assessment in the client's home to better understand their needs and develop an individualized care plan. When needed, a qualified staff member, social worker, or registered nurse may conduct a more detailed assessment, depending on state regulations, to further guide the care plan. This assessment is then used in the caregiver matching process to help select the most appropriate caregiver for each client. Senior Helpers® also elevates its care through three key programs: the proprietary LIFE Profile assessment tool, the Senior Gems® program, and the Senior Helpers Center of Excellence training spaces. LIFE Profile is a research-based technology tool that uses data to help identify a client's risk of hospitalization. Senior Gems® provides effective strategies for supporting and caring for loved ones from normal aging through late-stage dementia, focusing on what is precious and unique about each senior at every stage. The Senior Helpers® Center of Excellence is a training space designed to simulate a client's home, allowing caregivers to learn in a real-world environment and demonstrate their ability to provide the highest quality care in the home setting.
