QuickBooks is making inventory accessible to Simple Start and Essentials users with a new standalone $40/month module, while simultaneously upgrading their Square connector with faster transaction processing and sales tax tracking. Matthew and Alicia dive into the details of these changes, explore the underutilized Mineral HR platform that comes free with premium payroll, and preview the upcoming AI agents and new dashboard interface rolling out this fall.

Ben Stein from Keeper and Tal Ben Bassat from Anchor join the show to discuss their new integration that automatically configures client workflows in Keeper when proposals are signed in Anchor. The conversation covers how this partnership eliminates manual onboarding tasks, explores the broader trend of best-in-class apps working together rather than platform consolidation, and touches on recent Intuit API changes affecting the accounting software ecosystem. Both guests share their experiences developing the integration and their vision for improved connectivity across accounting technology tools.
