About this episode

Taylor Brown joins the hosts to discuss Sage Intacct's new AI features and the importance of foundational accounting knowledge.

Taylor Brown, CPA and director in CLA's digital practice, joins Matt and Doug to break down Sage Intacct's latest release: cash management and three-way matching, the new Financial Intelligent Agent, the MCP AI gateway, and fixed asset and audit trail updates.
