About this episode
Alicia, Dan, and Margie celebrate the podcast's 100th episode with quick pop-in from special guest Hector Garcia, reflecting on their favorite moments from nearly two years of unofficial QuickBooks commentary. The conversation covers everything from desktop conversions and chart of accounts evolution to the challenges of training in an era of constant software updates. They discuss the value of being an "unofficial" voice in the QuickBooks community, allowing for honest opinions and constructive feedback while bridging the gap between Intuit and the professionals using their software daily. *This episode was live streamed* Sponsors (00:00) - Welcome to the 100th Episode Celebration!
