About this episode
Alicia Katz Pollock discusses new QuickBooks features with Intuit's Kirsten Thulborn, focusing on tools for accounting professionals and upcoming enhancements.
Intuit Group Design Manager Kirsten Thulborn returns for a second conversation with Alicia to walk through the latest QuickBooks features built specifically with accounting professionals in mind — from payee warnings and drag-and-drop attachments in the bank feed to inline sub-account creation in the chart of accounts. The episode also covers a pair of features coming soon: account locking for tighter client controls and a stoplight-style AI confidence indicator designed to help bookkeepers move through transactions faster. Kirsten also shares how ProAdvisors can submit feedback directly to her team to help shape what gets built next.
