just a day or two after xero shook the accounting world with its $3 billion acquisition of b2b payments platform melio, intuit is launching its strategic salvo: a new suite of generative ai agents built into quickbooks.

the agents promise to automate payment reminders, reconcile bank transactions, forecast cash flow, and even draft client emails — all without human intervention.

the initiative is pivotal in the escalating arms race among accounting tech giants to dominate the general ledger. the general ledger is no longer just a recordkeeper in this rapidly transforming space. it’s becoming the operating system for every small business financial decision — and the battleground on which legacy players and startups are staking their futures.

onboarding, process mapping and more.

by jackie meyer

systems and processes are the unsung heroes of any successful business. they bring order to chaos, ensure consistency and free up your time to focus on high-value activities.

why systems and processes matter

 

first, you must build the foundation for a thriving advisory practice, define your vision, identify your ideal client, implement value-based pricing with the roi method, and explore the power of tiered service packages. then, you can focus on the backbone of a scalable practice: systems and processes.

without well-defined systems, even the best strategies will struggle to deliver consistent results and allow you the time freedom you crave.

here’s why they’re crucial for your advisory practice: read more →

bissett bullet: don’t be different, be superior

today’s bissett bullet: “it’s good to be different and to stand out from the competition, especially in the age of social media, but differentiation in isolation can produce the wrong outputs.”

by martin bissett

being different isn’t about having a quirky website and it’s not about offering some strange experience when you arrive at the office. it’s about being different in a positive way, making a positive difference.

by and large, most accountants can competently deliver compliance. i often hear business owners say that they weren’t offered anything by the accountant and instead, they just auditioned for what they can’t get from their current accountant. that is because the conversation never moved away from compliance.

arriving at that meeting genuinely wanting to understand what the business owners are experiencing, the challenges they face and how you can solve those challenges for them will enable you to offer them something more. this makes you superior to their current accountant at that moment in time.

today’s to-do:

have you lost sight of this in your efforts to differentiate yourself? if you spent your last prospect meeting initiating conversations about compliance then you’re not there yet. in your next meeting, make a conscious effort to adopt a different approach.
