@RoundtableLabs What if they all look grey?

🔴🟡🟢 Roundtable members, join us next week for One Topic: Client Red Flags & Green Flags (and yes… those yellow “hmm not sure” flags too). Let’s talk dream clients vs. draining clients—how to spot them, what to do about them, and maybe even share a few stories along the way.

@AlexDamsker Do not underestimate your responsibility when you hit sales tax nexus and the cost of reporting in every state you hit that nexus!

@MarnieStretch Thank you for your respect! Our government’s action do not need to change our friendships

Unbelievable that the American anthem is being booed - AGAIN - by a bunch of loser Canadians at the Vancouver Canucks game. Absolutely classless. This country bears no resemblance to the one I once knew 🤦‍♀️

@BillKinneyCPA Knowing that these updates roll out in phases maybe I have not seen this yet but I would love to connect with you and see the issue. Maybe I can help. In my system I still see bundles, they are still in the API too. I use them for a lot of clients so I am concerned.

Background: Intuit rug pulled bundles from invoices on QBO right as tax season was starting. A feature we heavily used to hide time detail and subtotal bundles. We found a workaround thanks to RightTool, which has a button on the invoice screen to delete but not unlink all linked lines. That way the transactions still get marked as billed and we don't have the show the client details. But what hacky bullshit.

Letter to the Intuit Office of the President. I'm so over their bullshit. Hi xxxxx, This situation is incredibly frustrating. One of our key issues with QBO is the complete lack of transparency around update rollouts. If we had advance notice of this change, we could have prepared accordingly. Instead, we experience sudden removals of heavily used features—right in the middle of our busiest season—while customer service is left in the dark. As a result, we waste valuable hours troubleshooting when we should be focusing on client work. Subtotals aren’t a viable workaround when we need to hide transaction details from clients. We’ve found another workaround—deleting but not unlinking time-based transactions—which at least marks the unbilled items as billed. It’s awkward, and we have to rely on a third-party tool to do it in bulk. It’s telling that RightTool has developed functionality that outpaces QBO’s own offerings—your product development team should take a serious look at what they’re doing. Our firm has been an Intuit customer for over 30 years, using Lacerte since before Intuit acquired it, as well as QuickBooks Desktop and now Online. I estimate we’ve spent over $750,000 on Intuit software in the past 20 years. Between this incident, declining performance in Lacerte, poor customer service, abrupt removal of key features without warning, and lack of communication on critical software changes, we’re actively evaluating alternative providers. And that doesn't even get into how you actively market overlapping products and services to our mutal Quickbooks clients and some of the other questionable business practices of your firm. Given our experience, I cannot in good faith recommend QBO to any of my clients at this time. Thanks for listening.

@RoundtableLabs Tonight’s dinner Teriyaki Chicken Caesar Salad

We all know accountants can cook! 👩‍🍳 These meals look so delicious - don't just share your pics, share the recipes too! 🤭

@cbriancpa @NeverCallMeRich That is a burrito but I still stand behind your decision! You win!

@Spotycus @NeverCallMeRich Ain't ya got some love for a breakfast taco?

Here’s why I’m team waffle, #TaxTwitter Each square keeps the butter in place and allows for a perfect bite every time. Right amount of butter, right amount of syrup. Prove me wrong.

@RoundtableLabs Yummy artichoke! Boiled in lemon butter and topped with Italian seasoning and a little garlic salt!

@BetterIdeaGroup @elonmusk If you don’t ask… you are saying no for them!

@Spotycus @elonmusk Good luck on getting a response 🤓

Hey @elonmusk, appreciate your efforts in exposing wasteful government spending! Curious—of the waste the Doge team uncovers, how much money is already gone vs. how much has actually been stopped and could help pay down our national debt? Would love your thoughts! 🚀🐕💰

@jablesspat @elonmusk Nice try! Obviously that is not what I said.

@Spotycus @elonmusk So you are giving a pass on a publicly announced potential for a hack because it’s trump/elon doing it for the government?

Seriously 🤦‍♂️

@NeverCallMeRich Must have been a spicy conversation if you needed to cool the phone down that much!

Some days I impress myself and others I leave my phone in the refrigerator. Guess which one I did this morning...

@jablesspat @elonmusk How many times have government agencies been hacked? Compare the number of compromised records against your example above. People are worried about their personal info that has already been compromised by our government.

@elonmusk Yeah? x.com/i/grok/share/I…

@Ventura_PD Congrats on the new role Gil! Thank you for your years of service!

From growing up in Ventura to protecting it for the past 27 years, Corporal Gil Pusen has dedicated his career to serving his hometown. Starting as a cadet in 1998, he’s been a Major Crimes detective, SWAT sniper, and now a patrol corporal & FTO. Thank you for your service!

@VisitOxnardCA I love Ventura County first responders! They know how to handle business! Thank you for the update!

@The_viralvideo_ Funny! Your post 2 minutes earlier said this was out of control and crazy wind! Have you ever thought people go to X to get real updates and your stolen viral videos and fake news?

@The_viralvideo_ You obviously are not in this area and are just spreading fear. This type of social media sucks!
