• There may be errors in spelling, grammar, and accuracy in this machine-generated transcript. Alicia Katz Pollock: Hey there. This is Alicia Pollock from Wired.com, and in this week's episode of the unofficial QuickBooks accountants podcast, I've got with me Dan DeLong from School of Bookkeeping and QB Power Hour. How's it going, Dan? Dan DeLong: Very good. Alicia, I appreciate you repping the school bookkeeping shirt I gave you. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah, last time we recorded, we both wound up wearing royal white shirts. And so I was like, [00:00:30] I'll do the honors and I'll wear his shirt today. So we're both. And he happened to be wearing one too. So we're both in School of Bookkeeping comm t shirts, which is excellent. Dan DeLong: Yeah. Twinsies. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. And you're down in in Arizona now. So just when I started calling you Florida, man, I have to change it, right? Dan DeLong: No, this is just just a week. My dad's birthday was yesterday, and so I spent some time with him, and, uh, the next couple days, and then we'll go back to Florida. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay, good. Then I can start calling you that again. [00:01:00] Yeah. All right. Well, I wanted to have you on today because I personally have been heads down just doing client cleanups and pretax work on, like, you know, this is the season when everybody comes out of the woodwork. And since my specialty is cleanups and troubleshooting and taking a set of meaningless books and actually giving them structure and, and, um, accuracy, I have not really been paying attention to the Intuit news other than hearing that [00:01:30] they are, um, decided to move the, the the deadline for the pricing for Intuit Accountant suite, where they had originally said it was going to be free for all of 2026 and then they'll start charging in 2027. They recently made the announcement that they're actually going to start charging as of March 1st. May may as of May 1st, which means that we have a shorter onboarding to figure out if this is something we even need, which [00:02:00] is not something that I can pay attention to during tax season. So I'm kind of not happy with it because, you know, what I like to do is try it out, put some clients in it, maybe record some training videos about it. And, you know, since all I can do is just client work for the next few months. Dan DeLong: Yeah. And I'm going to I want to talk about that particular I want to talk about that particular, uh, factor, because I didn't get the impression of the dates [00:02:30] of the, of the time frame of whether something was free for, for a period of time. And I've seen, I've seen people have that impression that it was going to be to the end of the year. Uh, where did you get where did you get that impression? Because I did, I didn't. Alicia Katz Pollock: When I signed up for it, they asked for my credit card information and I was pretty darn sure that it said that they're not going to start. You know, it's [00:03:00] going to be free until the end of the year, is what I understood. But I don't have any screenshots of my registration process, so I don't know that for sure. Dan DeLong: Yeah. And it other people had that impression. So I'm not I'm not saying that, you know, they didn't say it or wasn't you know mentioned that way. I mean you were at the announcement at, at connect as, as I was. And that message was delivered. Uh, well, it had a lot of opportunity for improvement, I guess [00:03:30] is probably the nicest way to say how they originally delivered the message. So, uh, it's quite clear that, uh, you know, there could have been some confusion about how long things were going to be free. I took it from everything that I saw that, you know, and I may have missed, you know, what it said on the screen when I, when I signed up to be to be transparent. Um, but I took it as it'll be free until it's not right. Like, it's [00:04:00] it's kind of like the stock market, you know, that it will continue to go up until it doesn't. It'll continue to go down until it doesn't. You know, I knowing knowing what I know about how Intuit makes decisions, messages, you know, confusing or conflicting, uh, messages. I took it with a grain of salt. Whatever they said is, is always subject to change. And to your point, yeah, it it may not be a lot of [00:04:30] time to really evaluate this and whether it's, it's working. Um, but it is a pretty long period of time for, you know, somebody to who could have adopted into the early, early stages of it in October of 2025 and May 1st of, of 2026. So It's, uh. Yeah, but there's never a great time to make these changes. Alicia Katz Pollock: There's never a good time. Okay, so one of the things that we [00:05:00] know that we want to make sure people are not confused about is that we are not saying that the ProAdvisor account you are paying for, that, that is still free and quote unquote, everything that was in it, which I'm going to put that in quotes, because maybe there was legalese in there that we are not seeing. Um, but the idea is that the portal to manage your clients, control your billing, take your ProAdvisor trainings and certification tests, manage your clients, [00:05:30] switch between your clients, have the My Tools accountant tools. All of that is remaining free. And if and if it's not, somebody from Intuit needs to tell me ASAP. But that was the message that I got. What we're talking about, not anymore. Being free are two add ons. One is the accelerate program, which is a client management and team management overlying dashboard where you can see everything about [00:06:00] your team and you can see everything about your clients KPIs all in one grid. So you can log into a dashboard and see all your clients listed with their their KPIs. You can pick Balance Sheet or PNL and see everybody at once so that you know you can keep tabs on it and know where your attention needs to go. And a second add on tool called Books Close, which is a per client fee for a tool that you [00:06:30] can use to have an eagle eye view on the activity in your client's account without going into their account. Dan DeLong: Right? Alicia Katz Pollock: Is that right? Dan DeLong: Yes. Okay. And that's that's a great way to that's a great way to frame it, is that books close can be in either core or accelerate. Uh, and it's, it's it's a per client, uh, cost. Now, it's not a per client that you have in your list. It's a per client that you have onboarded into the book's closed [00:07:00] feature. Right? So if you have 100 clients and you only have two clients that you're doing the book's closed feature for, you won't get charged for the 100 clients. You'll get charged for the two clients that are on the book's closed. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay. All right. Excellent. So I know that you have been kind of putting it through its paces and diving in and testing it out, and as much as I've been itching to, I have not had the time, so I. So tell me what your experience has been. Let's start with with [00:07:30] Intuit Accountant Suite. The the overarching thing. Have you had a chance to test it out? Dan DeLong: Yeah. So, um, so some of the core features and I hate to use the word core because that's core flavors of. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Dan DeLong: Of of core And I guess that's the that's the mindset behind it is that is the the core and it's the basis. And and coming from my, um, my history of being one of the first four cloud ProAdvisor support [00:08:00] agents in at Intuit, you know, the evolution of QBO has has really gone a lot from its infancy phase of, hey, this is a way for accountants to access their clients and have some tools that go along with that. Now it's more of, hey, what do I what kind of work can I do in my firm or my practice management software, which is really what [00:08:30] Intuit Accountant Suite is trying to become, right? Like, what can I do in there without having to go into all of my clients to run a profit and loss and get some, you know, get some detail and some insights around that. That's that's really what's driving this, this entire change or shift into QBO turning into into an accounting suite. Uh, so in the core features, you're going to have some pretty nifty widgets that will have [00:09:00] insights into your, uh, into your clients. Like, uh, how many clients need to reconnect their bank feed? Um, how many clients, uh, might have an interruption in, uh, in an integration that they might have have connected that you might need to to address. Right. Like that's a nuisance to go into every client and see. Well, is is stripe still connected or is the Shopify connector still connected. You can see that in a dashboard. [00:09:30] So that's that's the big change is that instead of your home screen being your client list, it's now a home screen being a dashboard with customizable widgets that you can see based on, you know, your your access to your to your firm. Uh, so that you can, you know, have that dashboard, uh, you know, much like a car is that, you know, you know, how fast your clients are going, you know, uh, who needs an oil change? You know, that, that sort of [00:10:00] thing. Alicia Katz Pollock: Who's burning out their tires? Dan DeLong: Exactly. Um, so those those are those are nice. Nice new, new, new ish, you know, features so that you can you can have that dashboard instead of. Well, all I'm doing is going to QBO to get to my client. Right. Um, you know, that's an extra click. And we know from, from Hector that, you know, a click every precious second. Alicia Katz Pollock: Exactly. All right. So what is the new pricing going to be for the [00:10:30] this dashboard for Intuit accountant Suite accelerate. Dan DeLong: Yeah. So the accelerate um and that the only thing that that I see right now that accelerate is is costing is the client insights feature function. Um, uh tool I guess um, and that is, uh, 149 a month for the entire firm. Right. So that's I mean, I mean, I don't know the the [00:11:00] pricing of other, you know, practice management software that might have this, this sort of thing, but it sounds like that's pretty economical. Alicia Katz Pollock: So does does that mean that the firm pays the 149 and all the team members of that firm who can see the clients they're assigned to, and they have that same dashboard. Dan DeLong: Right. Alicia Katz Pollock: That's pretty slick. Dan DeLong: Yeah. There's no per user cost for the firm. There is just the client insights and [00:11:30] the people that have access to be able to see that, uh, they'll be able to, to, uh, to use that. So that is, you know, a, a one of the different pricing structures in, in business in the business model for, you know, these types of applications is is there a user fee or is there a function fee or somewhere in a mix. So well, this is just a firm based fee for that feature. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay. And and if [00:12:00] that proves to be true because at this point I'm going to caveat everything with, we think maybe 149 for a solo practitioner is maybe kind of expensive, but if you are running a firm with, um, you know, five team members, ten team members, and especially when you scale up, that's actually really, really cheap. And so for the people who are hearing that price going $149, oh my God, well, that might be mean that it's not for you or that if it's useful for you, [00:12:30] then it's worth the money. But it's it is designed for teams. It is designed for firms that are managing multiple clients with multiple, um, practitioners. Dan DeLong: Yeah. And and again, remembering that the under under arching overarching goal, uh, the overarching goal of all of this is to be able to have those, those kinds of things not or the requirement to go into your clients is is what [00:13:00] they're striving to do, you know, do they get it right all the time? Probably not. And that's why this thing has been in a beta, uh, for, you know, for however long it is, so that they can get the feedback of, you know, what works? Well, what doesn't work well is it need improvement? Do we need to take a step back and those types of things. So um, that's that's the overarching goal is less clicks so that you don't have to go find the information. If you can just [00:13:30] feed it into into an accounting suite, all the better. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. I mean, that's my party line in all of my classes and webinars is how much time is it saving you? What is your effective hourly rate? Okay. That's how much money it's saving you. Are you paying less than that dollar amount? And most of the time that proves out. So, um, it definitely has. Dan DeLong: I think the biggest part of that is, you know, the, the frustration of learning something new, [00:14:00] being able to find where, where is this? And am I really getting the, the value that, that I'm supposed to. Is this is this a step forward if I'm going to take a step back, are we getting those two steps forward? Alicia Katz Pollock: I mean, in that in that whole conversation that we've been having since last fall about the new interface and like, now it takes me so much longer to go find things. I have found that I am pretty dialed in. Like, I've learned that instead of using the fly out menus, I just click on all apps [00:14:30] and I keep the sidebar up, and then I just scroll up and down the sidebar and now everything is just one click away. And so I've figured out my routine, and I'm no longer hampered by the the newness of the interface. So. So the next question that I have for you is what's the distinction between accelerate and Books close. So the books close is the, the tool that we use to manage [00:15:00] the clients on a per client basis. Dan DeLong: Right. And typically the follow up of that is if I'm using something that does this, these things outside of QuickBooks Online accountant or Intuit Accountant suite, why would I do that? Right. Because that's, uh, that's really what it's it's when you look at it and you are using something like double or financial sense or something else that that does a lot of these features. You're not going to see the value [00:15:30] like the first time I saw a keeper at any. You know, when it was keeper, I was like, well, doesn't QBO do some of this stuff? And they would be like, yes, but this does more, right? Right. Uh, so if you are already using, uh, I want to just kind of preface this with if you are already using something that does a lot of these features, you are probably not going to see the value of of this book's closed function because [00:16:00] you already have some, some something already in place to, to handle a lot of these things. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. And that's, that's particularly my stopping point, because I have through all these years prided myself on using the Intuit products so that I have direct hands on experience with what works, what doesn't work, what works well, what are the workarounds. And I want to use the books close, but I am already kind of embedded with with double. So it's [00:16:30] like almost like too little, too late, like I want, I want to use it. And so now I'm trying to figure out, well, do I have some clients that I can put on this as a demo? But then how am I going to keep tabs on what I have, on where I have to look for who, but I like the idea of it. Dan DeLong: Consider this. Um, anytime that Intuit creates something new, it's not for existing users, right? Because, you know, a new accountant that is coming into into an accounting [00:17:00] suite today, they don't know any different than, you know, what happened yesterday, because here they come in. Right? So then when they need more like okay, well I want to do my books, clothes for my clients. Oh, there's a feature right here. And inside of Qbo, I see I'm still. Yeah, I'm not able to do that. Alicia Katz Pollock: But we'll get it. Dan DeLong: It's Intuit accounting. Alicia Katz Pollock: Suite. It's that vocal for it. And I find it hard to say. It's my my, my Philadelphia accent, [00:17:30] even though I haven't lived there for 20 years. 40. Oh my God, 40 years. Oh my God. Dan DeLong: I think I just saw a gray hair. Uh. Alicia Katz Pollock: Gray hair just popped out right as I said that. Dan DeLong: Um, but, yeah, we're I mean, we're still struggling with the with the terminology, but the Intuit accountant. Sweet core. Um, I forgot what our question was. Alicia Katz Pollock: Oh, so the question was. All right, so, so backing up a little bit and let's talk about what [00:18:00] books close is. And let me, let me start with what I know. And then you can fill in what I don't know. Okay. So what books close does. And it's different than books review. And I'm going to ask you about that in a minute. But what books Close does is it allows you to to see your client's bookkeeping trouble spots in one list so that you can see their activity for the month without going into their file. And it's a list of things like transactions with no payees [00:18:30] and new vendors added. Hey, we need to send a W9 transactions that were over $2,500, transactions that were coded differently than they were last time. And it basically has this list. And you click on each list and it shows you the transactions so that you can eyeball them. Dan DeLong: Yes. So very similar to, you know, in the way that Intuit has, um, talked about books close in, in, in comparison to books review [00:19:00] is it's an advanced books review. Right. And so, you know, you could say, well, this feature exists in Books Review. Yes. That feature does and potentially could. And one of the things I'm trying to do on, uh, school bookkeeping is create a side by side, like, here's what you can do on books close. Here's what you can do in in books review. You know, here's here's the cost of doing that. And here's the, you know, the the the the the inconvenience of not [00:19:30] having it inside, inside of your, you know, whether that's. Alicia Katz Pollock: And so books review is available to accountant users and QuickBooks online advanced users. When you're in the client file it shows up under the accounting menu. And then um, the the books review has two modes. It has a setup mode and a cleanup mode so that you can kind of do some bulk activity in it. Now, personally, I have not really used it, and I don't know if that's because I have [00:20:00] already my routines that surface the same information or I've never resonated with books review, but I do like the books clothes from first glance. Dan DeLong: Yeah, a books review is really good for scoping out, you know, the the client, you know, a prospective client where you can go in as an accountant and see, uh, well, what am I in for? Right. What do I have in undeposited funds that, uh. That [00:20:30] that shouldn't be. Or what do I have? Uh, you know, what am I what am I looking at here? You know, because it'll give a lot of that overview and that that, uh, that sort of thing, uh, there. But the, um, and it will give you the option of a, of a setup versus, uh, versus review period or cleanup type of thing. Books, clothes is solely for your ongoing, you know, monthly financial, you know, tasks [00:21:00] that you do. Um, one of the things that that you can do inside of, uh, books, clothes, uh, over books review is you can assign certain tasks to certain team members. Right. So you don't have that with books review, right. Like you're in. So you're the one. You're the one doing it. So you may have a preparer and then you may have a report person. Right. So an analyst type of thing. So you can assign [00:21:30] different segments of the books clothes tasks to two different people. And then of course you'll be able to see all of your onboarded clients or onboarded books closed clients, uh, in one place. So, uh, you know, the supervisor, uh, you know, and the firm, the manager of the firm can go in and see at any given time. Well, what is currently, what is currently how is currently going are we are we on track, you know, for for these deliverables that [00:22:00] we have for our engagements. Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, so it would it be possible for you to pull up? Okay. Excellent. Yep. Go ahead and pull up your pull up your screen so that I can talk about this. So the things that I liked about it when I was checking it out is that it did have three different roles. What are the names of the three roles? So you have a preparer, reviewer and approver. Dan DeLong: Right. And you can edit them too right. So you can call them whatever it is that you want. Oh cool. But you have [00:22:30] you have two of three of them to choose from. Uh, and then you can turn off, you know, if you're the only one doing all this stuff, you can just turn off those three different ones and just call it, you know me if you want to. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay. Um, and so that and so that allows you to pass it on, pass off the task you do the if you if you're the preparer, then you pass off the task to your reviewer who can then pass it off to the approver, which then signs off and you're done. Dan DeLong: Exactly. [00:23:00] And then you also have different statuses that I, um, what is the plural of status? Just status. I think it's status. Status, uh, that you can edit as well. Right. So by default there's to do and completed. And they're they're not editable, but you can change in progress. Waiting on client or blocked and move them around as far as uh order of of the status that that appears as well. So those are the, the preferences [00:23:30] that you can change, which, you know, you don't have that in, in books review. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right, right. Dan DeLong: And then there's templates which allows you to create, uh, you know, your preferred template task, right? A task, basically a task list of all of the things that you're going to be doing for that client. So you may have other clients that you do a little more for, or maybe clients that you do a little less for, depending on the engagement. So you can create your own [00:24:00] books, clothes, uh, clients, uh, tab templates to assign to your clients. Okay. So those are the settings. Alicia Katz Pollock: All right. Cool. Dan DeLong: So I have a couple, uh, onboarded clients in here. You have an action drop down really just to go into the I mean, the the whole idea of this is, this is that bird's eye view of all of your clients. So, you know, whoever's overseeing this, this process at the firm, they'll be able to see [00:24:30] what period is being worked on when it's due. Uh, who's who's the preparer, the reviewer and approver and what the status is and how many of those tasks are done. So you can see, you know, in a, in an overarching view how how well that's, uh, that's progressing. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. So where you are for each client and what their status is and who's responsible for their files. Okay. Dan DeLong: Let's go into. Alicia Katz Pollock: Dan just clicked on one of the clients [00:25:00] that he has. And so at the top it has their name. And then it has the closed date. Then it says what's the due date for that close. What's that status again to do. Blocked all of those things the number of completed tasks, and then a place to assign the prepare or the reviewer and the approver. Then it goes into subsections, and so there's a pre-close and then there's an account reconciliation section, a transaction review section, a payee and entity review, a [00:25:30] final review and additional items and then sending the financials. And then within each one of those, the default template has somewhere between 2 and 20 odd tasks. And then you can edit those and then save your own versions of them. Right. So if there's something that you're not responsible for ever, you can take it off. And if you have more things that you do that are not part of the default template, you can add them. Dan DeLong: Yeah, [00:26:00] you can add them in here. That's not going to take it back and put it back into the template. Right. But this may be a more of a one off type of situation where you might need to do something extra this month in order to have that completed. Not all sections are going to have that option to add a task. Alicia Katz Pollock: Well, if I remember correctly, once you edit for a client, then it it follows through for the future one. So if you add something to one particular client, [00:26:30] it will be there for that client next month. And I don't know if it works the same as double, but at the very top there's a that one had has a section for just one off tasks so that if you don't need. And so I don't actually know if that's here and true about this or not, but hopefully there's a place to just keep one off tasks as opposed to monthly tasks. Dan DeLong: Right. And you're showing that in the in the next one, not doing a books clothes [00:27:00] and not doing it, you know, routinely. Um, I wouldn't, I wouldn't know that without without trying it doing. Alicia Katz Pollock: Too early for us to know. Dan DeLong: Two too close to call. Yeah. Okay. Um, yeah. So there's there's that. And then there's also this requests, uh, up at the top. And, um, you know, this term has been used in different places. So, um, it, it stands to, to talk about what the heck are requests in terms of [00:27:30] books. Close um, requests are, um, when it comes down to your transaction review of let's just use, uh, pay transactions without payees, you can, uh, very similar to the bank feed, right? You have the ability to communicate with your client about a request or a question that you might have about a specific transaction. Uh, you can add that to this particular transaction. And that is now a request [00:28:00] that will get sent to the client when they when they respond to it. Your, uh, that will show as part of the requests at the top. Okay. It's not like work that as as was in Qbo where you had a client request, but then you never knew if they actually responded to it or not. Alicia Katz Pollock: So question for you is that the if you're in the banking feed and the client puts in a request for information [00:28:30] there, or you do when you're actually in the client file, does it show up in this request pane as well? Dan DeLong: That's a very good question. I don't have the answer to that. Okay. I would like. Alicia Katz Pollock: To think that it. Dan DeLong: Does. I would I would like to think so too. But I mean here you're asking like this is a request that we're showing on, uh, a transaction without payee, which would not be in the bank feed. Right? So, um, I don't know if, um, you know, the combination of those requests [00:29:00] and the the requests that you make in the bank feed will show all in books, clothes be a great feature, a great, uh, great. Add to that again, so that you don't have to go into the bank feed to see. All right, those things, um, but that, uh, that that certainly is probably on there. If it's not a available to do, I would assume it's it's on their roadmap of because anytime that you're going to take out a click to [00:29:30] go find something else, that's, that's the low hanging fruit, I think for, you know, bringing value to books, clothes. Right. It's again you're, you're you're not taking forcing people to go into QuickBooks to do a, do a task. Uh, and reconciliation is one of those things that you can do in the books, clothes without going into your client. So basically, they have taken the entire reconciliation screen [00:30:00] that would be inside the the company file when you go into the client, and you can just do the reconciliations right here in the books close. Alicia Katz Pollock: Wow. Dan DeLong: All of the statements and you know the same thing that you as soon as you go to click reconcile inside of your clients QBO or QBO. Excuse me. Uh, you are you're going to see that here in, um, here in. Alicia Katz Pollock: Wow. So so it's a straight up reconciliation, but it's from here and it lists [00:30:30] all the balance sheet accounts so that I can actually run down the list. And just. Dan DeLong: Exactly. Alicia Katz Pollock: That is really cool to me. I really like. Dan DeLong: That. Yeah. And that's that is where that's where the value of this is going to is going to come in, is that you can just go down your entire client list, reconcile them all in, in your QBO. Uh, I'm sorry, I did it again. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Dan DeLong: Intuit account and sweet and just go down the list. Right. And without having to go [00:31:00] into, uh, okay, I gotta log in to, you know, Bob's mortuary. Alicia Katz Pollock: Switch. Switch clients and switch clients, you know. Alicia Katz Pollock: And in, in. When you're looking at a client file, there's a couple of different places where you can see your reconciliation statuses. But I've never been 100% satisfied with any of them, because, like the the overview has some of the balance sheet accounts, but not all of them. And the reports options has most of them. But [00:31:30] all it is, is a list. And when I look at the chart of accounts, God, I've desperately, desperately wanted to see the reconciliation date when I'm as a column, when I'm looking at the chart of accounts, and this looks like it gives me the best of all worlds that I'm. Alicia Katz Pollock: Seeing, you know, it's hard to see. Dan DeLong: Here. There is a refresh button, right? So it'll pull again from, from that client. Uh, if, if something was reconciled or something did change, you know? Uh, the data [00:32:00] is only as accurate as the last refresh, right? So. Right. Um, you can manually refresh it to, you know, pull those things in if, you know, somebody was in there reconciling at the company. Uh, that might be worth to know before you get it into, uh, get it into, uh, go into and do it again. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. I see, you know, I see the list of all of the balance sheet accounts, not just the checking accounts and savings accounts. Um, are the liabilities there, too? Alicia Katz Pollock: Uh [00:32:30] oh. Alicia Katz Pollock: There's there's an add or remove so that you can. Alicia Katz Pollock: Actually. Alicia Katz Pollock: Specify which ones you want to see. Um, then you have reconciled through. So you have the reconciliation date and the ending balance. I would love to see a changed column here. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: That would that to see if anything has changed in the reconciliation. That would give me a lot of information that I would like to see. Um, and then it has the person responsible and then whether it needs to do or a done. So I still don't have my [00:33:00] perfect place. You know, every single reconciliation list has a different piece of information on it, and there's like five of them. So but but this is cool I like this. Dan DeLong: It's it's a it's it's a good start. Right. And you know, is it worth the, the cost. Especially if you're using something that kind of does does this as well. That's, that's uh that's a great question. And only, you know, you and your listeners [00:33:30] can, can kind of answer that for yourself. But I imagine this shallow end of the pool, if you feel like it's the shallow end of the pool, uh, compared to some other things, is only going to get deeper, you know, as time goes on and people use it more. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right, right. Dan DeLong: Um, of course, you know, share feedback, uh, is on this screen. Um, so it's always better, you know, especially when something is in, beta. Uh, or, you know, a new, new feature. Send [00:34:00] the feedback from that feature. Uh, rather than, you know, the standard gear. Give feedback because this this may actually have a higher priority for the people working on these, uh, on these features to get that feedback faster. Alicia Katz Pollock: Can you do me a favor? Can you click on that, share feedback and put in there that on the account reconciliation tab I would like to see, um, dollar amount changes or number of changes. Thank you. Because I'll [00:34:30] go in and I'll put it in mine. And then there'll. Alicia Katz Pollock: Be two. Alicia Katz Pollock: Pieces of feedback that they need. Alicia Katz Pollock: For this changes. Alicia Katz Pollock: And then they'll know. And if all the listeners out there would. Alicia Katz Pollock: That's right. Alicia Katz Pollock: If you're going in there and testing out the books, clothes, if you would also go up to the feedback and say in the account reconciliation session, please add another column to show changes that would make Alicia very happy. Dan DeLong: Yeah. So that's, uh, that's that there. Um, [00:35:00] so this payee entity review, uh, when last I looked at it, it said coming soon. Now, it does not. Alicia Katz Pollock: It actually looks like a lot of things because I actually just looked at the Coming Soon list a couple days ago. And actually, no, I think it was like yesterday. And so they must have released some of these updates in the last 24 hours, because. Alicia Katz Pollock: I'm. Alicia Katz Pollock: Pretty sure I just looked at these. Dan DeLong: Yeah, it would have been nice that the W9 1099 management [00:35:30] was not coming soon. At the end of. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Dan DeLong: During uh, 1099. Alicia Katz Pollock: Season. Alicia Katz Pollock: 99 season. Um, but just so everybody knows, there is a W9 1099 management tab in here. And what it has is a list of all of that clients, vendors, their Ein or tin numbers, the entity type. Alicia Katz Pollock: Whether those are external. So yes. Alicia Katz Pollock: And yes. Um, there's an entity type to show whether it's an individual or a business. I personally would like [00:36:00] to see their business formation there instead. I don't just want to know individual business. I would like to see whether it's an S Corp or an LLC. Alicia Katz Pollock: Because you don't. Alicia Katz Pollock: Know. Alicia Katz Pollock: Whether. Dan DeLong: They're needing a 1099. Alicia Katz Pollock: Or not. Alicia Katz Pollock: Exactly. Okay. And then as you go further down, there's, you know, address information, a place where you can add files. And right now it's spinning. But I have actually seen it. There's a check mark of whether a 1099 is needed and whether a w-9 is received [00:36:30] or not. So you'll know who you have your w-9 for, and you'll know if they're on your 1099 eligibility list. Um, and then the 1099. Dan DeLong: This particular one has, uh, 723. So it's it's probably, uh, taking its time, uh, trying to trying to figure all that stuff out. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay, I'll forgive it. Um, and then the 1099 type allows you to specify whether you need an NEC or a misc, and then the year to date eligible. [00:37:00] I assume that's going to put the dollar amount in about whether or not what they're qualifying payments are. And I can only assume and again I don't like assuming but you know educational knowledge here. There it is. Um, that the year to date eligible I would assume, is going to filter out anything paid by a payment method marked as a credit card. And um. Alicia Katz Pollock: And one would assume, yes, one. Alicia Katz Pollock: Would assume. Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, trust but. Dan DeLong: Verify. [00:37:30] Alicia Katz Pollock: And. Alicia Katz Pollock: And you know, for the developers out there, the one big, big, big miss with your 1099 monitoring system is that you have a field called payment method. And that should be the filter for the 1099 Eligibility. We put in credit card. We put in Venmo personal or Venmo business, not the ref field with or debit. You know Deb for debit card. [00:38:00] You know, no, not those weird codes in that field that nobody even knows exists. Make the payment method the field that is the filter for the 1099. It would be so much easier for everybody. All right, I'll get off my soapbox. Dan DeLong: So the only one that is still coming soon is the newly added accounts. Uh, so, but new customers, new vendors and this, uh, W9 1099 management is now active. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay. [00:38:30] Alicia Katz Pollock: Hot off the presses. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yes. Dan DeLong: Well, of course it'll be old news by the time this goes live. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah, exactly. Alicia Katz Pollock: Everybody will already know. Now, I have learned that even when I think everything, something is obvious and everybody knows it, that six months a year down the line, people still don't know these things exist. And that's why I have this podcast. Dan DeLong: That's great. Yeah, but there are more, uh, transactional review tasks in the book books, clothes, uh, [00:39:00] feature than is in the books review. So this is one of those things where, you know, when they say it's an advanced books review. Uh, books clothes really does get the knob. You know, you're going to have a lot of the similar things like uncategorized transactions or transactions without payee in the, in the books review. Uh, but a lot of these ones that you can set, uh, you know, filters about, you know, this one is, uh, expenses and bills without attachments greater than a [00:39:30] dollar or $0. Right. So you you may have a process that you want to make sure that, you know, those have receipts attached, you know, and those types of things. So this will allow you to, to do those things. And again, it'll allow you to work with those, um, those things without, you know, going into the client to and more importantly, going into those transactions. Right. To confirm all of those. Alicia Katz Pollock: Things. Alicia Katz Pollock: Can you actually and you can add files from [00:40:00] here. So you can add an attachment right from this location. Now, I know that with with bookkeepers, there's different styles of it. There's some companies have a receipt for absolutely everything. Some companies don't track receipts at all. Sometimes it's the the business owner that's responsible for uploading receipts and sometimes it's the bookkeeper. And so, you know, there's four different scenarios, but this allows you to flex with your particular situation. Dan DeLong: And you have the [00:40:30] ability to edit the threshold. Right. So if it's only $75 or $150, whatever the threshold might be, so that it shows up into in this list, you can edit that, and you can also choose, uh, I never actually looked at this one. Edit exclusions transactions to include exclude. These transactions are excluded from the anomaly. Check for this client. Don't show and the team members views. Uh it could be bills or expenses, you know. So if you're not [00:41:00] needing to do this for expense transactions, like if you have a situation where your expenses are not subject to this, but only the bills, I guess that's. Alicia Katz Pollock: I. Alicia Katz Pollock: Can't even imagine a use case for it. But they put it there, so somebody must have needed. Alicia Katz Pollock: It, right? Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, this is cool. You can exclude certain vendors, so if you don't need certain vendors, you can exclude a vendor. You can exclude certain categories. That's really nice. Dan DeLong: And that's, [00:41:30] uh, and that's, that's just the expenses and bills without attachments. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Dan DeLong: Um, but then you have, you know, transactions that are greater than they have $2,500. You also have the same thing there where you can edit the threshold, uh, edit exclusions. This is probably why this one shows that transaction type shows in because it's I, I'm guessing this is, you know, a similar code that's just been added to [00:42:00] the. Alicia Katz Pollock: Different. Dan DeLong: Features. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Dan DeLong: So rather than making this dynamic, um, you know, they probably just well, let's just put the exclusions widget in all of them. Alicia Katz Pollock: I can forgive them that. Dan DeLong: Yes. Alicia Katz Pollock: Because that just makes it ultimately flexible. If they've built in all of the requirements for all of the different options. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: Sure. Yeah. Dan DeLong: So if they're missing something put in feedback. If they're if you'd like to, you know, tell them, hey, there's no need [00:42:30] for transaction type exclusions in this particular section. Put that in as feedback as well. It's only going to make it better for you. Alicia Katz Pollock: I also want to point out with this that the threshold really comes into key, that if you're working with small businesses, $2,500 is considered a big expense. And that's what anything over 2500, you would make a fixed asset. But if you're working with $1 million company or a multi-million dollar company, 2500 bucks is just a regular routine expense to them. And so you can change that threshold for whatever [00:43:00] is correct for that company. Dan DeLong: Transactions added by bank rule is always a big thing. Alicia Katz Pollock: That is actually. Alicia Katz Pollock: Really, really super cool. Okay, I know that you're like, you're itching to go on, but I want to go back to that. Transactions auto added by bank rule because. Alicia Katz Pollock: You want to have. Alicia Katz Pollock: A. Alicia Katz Pollock: Way. Alicia Katz Pollock: Of scanning those to make sure that something didn't get caught up. Like I was working with somebody who had a bank rule for for Apple and putting everything [00:43:30] in Apple in software. But then they had, oh, what was it? Um, appliance? No, it was an appliance, but it was something like that. Alicia Katz Pollock: But it was close. Alicia Katz Pollock: Apple was. Apple was like. I think it was like in their name. Their name was like Apple or something that had Apple in it. And so it started taking transactions that had their name in it and putting it into software. And so I caught it when I was doing the reclassify task routine [00:44:00] that I do using reclassified transaction on on everything. But this would be another really, really great way of doing a fast skim to see that. Dan DeLong: See what what has been added by a bank rule. Uh, because especially especially if they're in charge of, you know, doing the bank feed or, you know, things like that, you know, the, the suggestions and the rules that that come from those suggestions. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right? Dan DeLong: Could certainly be turned [00:44:30] on, uh, without your, without your knowledge. And then is this as good to come by after the fact and, uh, and review that? Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: I'm really, really glad, by the way, that they, that the overzealous suggestions have backed away, that I'm still dealing with cleaning up some that were created during that time frame. But I'm glad now it doesn't make a suggestion for everything. Alicia Katz Pollock: You do right. Dan DeLong: It's not as annoying as Clippy from, uh, office. Uh, this one [00:45:00] is coming soon. Also, the transactions auto posted by AI. Um, because that is just as, um, just as bad as auto transactions by the bank rule, right? Alicia Katz Pollock: When does a transaction get auto posted by AI? Is that the review banner, like the one that pops up at the top that says these transactions are ready for review, is that what they mean by this? Dan DeLong: Um, well, without seeing what it's posting in here, I couldn't I couldn't tell you [00:45:30] what. Alicia Katz Pollock: I'm curious, and that review has been a little bit problematic because when I click on it, I see transactions with no from two, with no payee on it. And as far as I'm concerned, that is not ready for review. You have to have a payee in there. And so hey you guys, if you're listening, can you at least make sure that your AI review only includes things that have a Hu, as well as a what we really, really need the from to filled in on those before [00:46:00] people just start clicking Auto add based on the AI. Dan DeLong: Now there's one here called Unapplied payments. This has been a long a long time coming, right? Like. Alicia Katz Pollock: You know. Dan DeLong: This particular client doesn't have anything in here. So I would really like to know what you could actually do here. Um, but when you have unapplied payments from customers, right. Especially if they're on a cash basis, you get this other question of what the heck is Unapplied cash payment income. [00:46:30] Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Dan DeLong: Doing on my profit and loss. Right. It's because well, as the name implies, it's unapplied. So knowing that there are transactions that need to be applied together, you know, payments to to invoices, I would assume, uh, maybe that maybe it's down here lower. Alicia Katz Pollock: Well, I would. Alicia Katz Pollock: Find that one particularly helpful because one of the things that I do in my year end cleanup is we run an [00:47:00] AR report, and then we look at all of the zeros that are on it that are when you have a payment and when you have an invoice, but the invoice is not closing the payment. And at this time of year when I'm spending a lot of time doing is the accountants have made journal entries or credit memos in order to close old AR balances, but that doesn't actually close the invoice. So you have clients with $0 balances Who have open invoices when you run [00:47:30] invoice reports. And so you have to actually if you are going to write off AR through a journal entry or an adjusting entry or a credit memo, you have to make one extra step and create a payment for the client and apply your adjustment to the invoice so that the invoice is closed. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Dan DeLong: There's some other, um, coming soon. Things like expense inconsistency, which is cool because if you have, uh, a client or, I'm sorry, [00:48:00] a vendor or payee that is always to, you know, a certain expense category, and then all of a sudden it shows up to somewhere else. Yeah. This would be a great thing for your, uh, your grapple apple. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Dan DeLong: It would bubble up that way, uh, as well. Alicia Katz Pollock: I particularly like that because what I do in my year end cleanup is I I wind up running a PNL by year, and then I [00:48:30] scan across to look for numbers that are statistically significant. And that's either indicative of a trend, or it means that we did something different than we did the year before, and this will help with that. Dan DeLong: Yep. And, um, class inconsistency, uh, cells coming soon. Um, but that's that's another great thing. If you have a certain vendors that are to a certain class or, you know, certain things to certain classes and you have a I [00:49:00] mean, I can think of several things that I'm, I know is class inconsistent across my own books? Um, so so this would be, uh, a cool pool, uh, cool thing to do. Uh, there when it actually shows up. Sure. Which could be tomorrow at the rate they're going. Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, expenses without a customer or project, if you are doing heavy job costing that will let you know if you have anything that has not been assigned. However, if you're not using job costing, [00:49:30] I assume that this one can be dismissed off of your list. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: And then go down to the next one. Uh, transactions manually created. This one is also interesting to me because there's two different ways of using QuickBooks depending on the company. One is the company is manually creating all the activity as it happens, and then using the banking feed as the as the confirmation system to make sure your data is correct. And then the other school is small businesses [00:50:00] who use the data in the banking feed to do all of their data entry. And you know, those are micro businesses. Those are small businesses, but it's exceedingly common. And in that case, transactions created manually is a good call out for them, because that's when I find duplications in the system most of the time is if they're bank feeds Centric, but they imported receipts. That's in particular the receipt import. They don't always match with the banking feed for [00:50:30] one reason or another. And so this will help me find those things. Dan DeLong: And then that does allow you to, to batch, um, assign those things. Alicia Katz Pollock: Including from to. You can even batch assign a payee here. Alicia Katz Pollock: Mhm. Alicia Katz Pollock: Cool. Dan DeLong: Did I skim over anything else you want to talk about? Alicia Katz Pollock: Uh, no, that's pretty good. Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, you know there's and and so, you know, just for sake of time, um, when you go down beyond the payee entity review, then there's kind of a final review [00:51:00] where you can look at the, the profit and loss and the balance sheet and your AP and AR aging summaries right in line here without having to go to the client file and go to reports and then go run it. It's just all here right in one click. So that is pretty cool. And then there's. Alicia Katz Pollock: You can. Dan DeLong: Go to. Alicia Katz Pollock: You. Dan DeLong: Can go to QuickBooks if you need to. So the action dropdown gives you the option to go into their QuickBooks if you uh. Because one of the things I think it's around the profit and loss, um, [00:51:30] you it doesn't have the report customizations. Right. So if you needed to um, if you did drill in, no, you. Alicia Katz Pollock: Can't even drill in from here. So if you drill. Alicia Katz Pollock: In then you need to go to QuickBooks to, to do the drill. So it kind of makes sense. Yep. Alicia Katz Pollock: I'm okay about that. Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, and then there's an additional items. I assume that's one where we can then also customize it and add our own closing tasks. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yep. Dan DeLong: And then sending the financials. Alicia Katz Pollock: Which is the. Dan DeLong: Next thing to do. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. [00:52:00] So my conclusion as I'm looking at this is I think this has some things that I don't have in double. Alicia Katz Pollock: Mhm. Alicia Katz Pollock: So um I can absolutely see the use case for this and why this is a great add. Alicia Katz Pollock: So yeah. Dan DeLong: Now so we never talked about the cost yet because okay. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. What's it going to cost over that. Dan DeLong: Yeah. Because they're like okay now what's this going to cost me? Um, so it's it's $8 per onboarded [00:52:30] client, uh, a month, right. So if you're doing this monthly and you have, you know, five onboarded clients into your, into your books, clothes, that's 40 bucks a month that's going to run you, which I believe is, you know, comparable to, you know, these other softwares that do these things outside of QuickBooks. Alicia Katz Pollock: And adding eight bucks or ten bucks a month to your client fees as a software charge is perfectly reasonable. Dan DeLong: Up [00:53:00] to 50. So when you cross the threshold of 5050 first one, all of them are now $6. So it does. There is a tiered, uh, structure to that. Alicia Katz Pollock: Cool. Dan DeLong: Now here is um, here's the here's the problem. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay. Dan DeLong: Um, that we need we need help. Alicia Katz Pollock: For the problem. Dan DeLong: The problem is you can onboard a client and add it to them in this beta. You cannot offboard them. [00:53:30] Alicia Katz Pollock: You can't take them off your list. Dan DeLong: You cannot take them off your list. So, um, I spent about two hours with, uh, Intuit support explaining the use case of. Alicia Katz Pollock: Like. Dan DeLong: Of this. Alicia Katz Pollock: I like this client is no longer with me, and I don't want to keep paying $8 a month for them. Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Dan DeLong: Which, of course, the first answer is we'll just remove them from your client list and that will get them off the list. Well, great. But [00:54:00] what if the situation is. Well, they're just I'm doing other things for the client and it doesn't involve books, clothes or like me, I don't do books, clothes at all. And I have two clients sitting right sitting here that. Alicia Katz Pollock: I have to pay. Alicia Katz Pollock: $16. Alicia Katz Pollock: A month for. Dan DeLong: You have to pay $16. Come now. You don't have to pay that until May 1st. Right. So they have essentially three, three months to figure this out. Alicia Katz Pollock: That's plenty. Alicia Katz Pollock: Of time. Alicia Katz Pollock: They'll have it then. Yeah. Dan DeLong: And I assume that that will that [00:54:30] will that will occur. But I would encourage and implore and I'm going to do it right now to put in the feedback about about that. Alicia Katz Pollock: Um, so for those of you. Alicia Katz Pollock: Listening, he is in the books close overview, where you see the list of clients and he has clicked on share feedback and he is entering it in right now. And so if you all would do that same thing, then they'll get that little bump and realize that, hey, the book's closed. Needs to be taken off too. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: And I'm sure [00:55:00] that's just kind of an I'm sure it's not intentional or like, hahaha, we're. Alicia Katz Pollock: Gonna make. Alicia Katz Pollock: Them pay. It's just, you know, they're so busy developing it that it hasn't occurred to them that you have to take them off when you're done. Dan DeLong: Right? Alicia Katz Pollock: Right. Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: And I actually would use this as a one off tool, like I would onboard somebody just to do a cleanup and then offboard them when I'm done. I would pay eight bucks for this for a job that I'm doing. In a heartbeat. Dan DeLong: All right. Now, [00:55:30] what I just did is I went into the billing and subscription inside of Intuit accountant suite. Mhm. Which does now have a new tile for books, clothes, uh, which I would assume that's where this is going to show up. Uh, because you'll be able to see the payment history, you can cancel the books close feature altogether which that was one of their suggestions. Just downgrade. Alicia Katz Pollock: It, remove. Alicia Katz Pollock: Everybody, and then start it [00:56:00] up again and add the ones you want back on. Dan DeLong: Exactly. Um, they were just spitballing the ideas, and I guess that. Alicia Katz Pollock: You know, I could do this. Dan DeLong: Yeah. I mean, because you can you can during this beta period, you can go back to the old QBO, um, which of course will get rid of anything that you've done inside of it. Customizing your widgets, setting up roles for your team. You know all of those things [00:56:30] and then come back in, opt back into core. Alicia Katz Pollock: And that's. Alicia Katz Pollock: Interesting. Dan DeLong: Books clothes on and then re onboard your clients. Alicia Katz Pollock: So you're so you're saying that at least for a limited time, if you're experimenting with it, you can turn it off and it resets. And then you can turn it back on and do it for real. Dan DeLong: Yes. Alicia Katz Pollock: And it doesn't just pick up where you left off. It resets. Dan DeLong: That's what they told me. Alicia Katz Pollock: That's what they told you. Alicia Katz Pollock: I don't believe that for a minute. Dan DeLong: That that could be a that could be a trust but verify [00:57:00] type of thing. Um, so there's there's no gospel here. Alicia Katz Pollock: Okay. All right. Alicia Katz Pollock: Excellent. Well, I, I think that is a great way of of ending this segment. This was really valuable to me, Dan. So thank you for that. And we are spinning up a new YouTube channel. We had one we for, for reasons I won't go into, have to start over again with it. And so we are hoping that we have actually [00:57:30] the video demos of all of these things that we're talking about available to you on our YouTube channel. So you can go to YouTube and search for the unofficial QuickBooks Accountants podcast or unofficial QuickBooks podcast. And, um, the the one with fewer videos is the current one, at least for the moment. Um, but we will, um, have that taken care of. So thank you for the the demo. Dan. That was. Alicia Katz Pollock: Really. Dan DeLong: Yeah. I mean, this is this is important stuff for for the accountants and accounting professionals, bookkeepers because, [00:58:00] you know, to your point, you're so heads down this time of year that, uh, if you missed it, you missed it. And and then you you turn your head up, it's like, whoa. There's the whole user interface changed, and. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. And you're charging me and and usually. Alicia Katz Pollock: That's my party line for why people should become members of the royal wise owls. Because I call out all the things that you don't notice when you're just [00:58:30] getting your client work done. And right now, with all the changes and my clients and the the the evolution of my of my business, this is my first time where I don't have time to keep up. And, um, there's at a time when there's a lot of changes happening. So, uh, it takes a, takes a village for all of us to be able to come together to make sure that that information gets out there. Dan DeLong: Absolutely. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah. Alicia Katz Pollock: All right. Well, Dan, what's going on in your world? Dan DeLong: Well, [00:59:00] um, uh, Sharon Fuller has accepted, uh, being the permanent co-host of the QBO Power Hour. So that's, uh, that's, uh, new changes going on, uh, over there. Um, and I am preparing, uh, for a, doing a co-facilitating, uh, course or breakout session at Scaling New Heights with Carrie Kahn. Uh, so we're going to be talking about, uh, QuickBooks and AI and those types of things. So looking forward to to putting that together with [00:59:30] her. Alicia Katz Pollock: Oh that's fabulous. Alicia Katz Pollock: I'm really glad about you. Dan DeLong: What is, uh, what is in your world? Alicia Katz Pollock: Well, speaking. Alicia Katz Pollock: Of scaling new heights, um, we are going to be there again as a as a vendor and have a brand new booth, but, um, and while I, I can't speak there anymore because I have a booth, but my husband, Jamie, who is our Apple expert, did get accepted as a speaker, so he's going to be speaking for his second year. He spoke about three years ago, um, [01:00:00] called on a talk called don't click that link and or don't click that button. And it's about how not to get scammed on the internet, how to identify when you're on a fake website, or when you have a fake email so that you don't get sucked into it. Dan DeLong: That is getting harder and harder and harder to disseminate the difference between what is real and what is not. Alicia Katz Pollock: Yeah, he loves to talk about the fact that I got sucked into one because I was I was on a road trip to California, taking my daughter to go visit [01:00:30] Stanford and visiting the Intuit campus. And we I passed under a road toll in a in a rental car and I didn't have a speed is easy speed thing for the toll. So I knew that I was going to have to pay the toll later on. And I got a text the next day saying, here's your toll receipt. And it turns out that that was a scam. It was not my actual toll. It was just like impeccable timing. And I paid it and it was only eight bucks, but I paid it [01:01:00] and that was a scam and I fell for it. So yeah. So Jamie's talk is going to be absolutely. Um, I'm really, really looking forward to. He puts up visuals and he shows videos and all of that. Okay. Um, and then the other thing that is going on for me is that I just finished up my Payroll Perfection bundle. I just rerecorded my payroll class, my QuickBooks time class, and had Shannon Bowman come on and do her payroll compliance class, where she talks about the legalities of [01:01:30] the payroll forms and, uh, PTO and all of those things. Alicia Katz Pollock: So you can take any one of those classes or buy the whole bundle. And I'm right now in the middle of my advanced content, uh, teaching my Tricky Situations class and my next level accrual accounting class, where we go into all the complications of vendor credits and invoice timings and corrections and all of that kinds of stuff. So, um, this is the fun time. [01:02:00] So if you haven't been checking out Royal Wives because you think you're the expert and you know all this stuff, I guarantee I'm going to rock your world with those glasses. Um, and again, it's not it's both concept like how do you do the bookkeeping and also how do you do it in QuickBooks? Because like I said, with those, um, when you're making adjusting journal entries to AR and AP, you're still leaving garbage on the reports. So it's important to do it correctly in your software. Dan DeLong: That's a lot of stuff you're going on. [01:02:30] Alicia Katz Pollock: Oh, it's never ending. And that's all in my spare time at this point. Like I said, it's just client appointments, poring through the books, fixing everything. So. But that's what that's my happy place. I enjoy what I do. All right. So thank you everybody for listening. Thanks, Dan for joining me. And we will see. Dan DeLong: You in the next one.
