1. I upped my e-mail rules game.
2. I created my first Zap using Zapier, JetPack Workflow and Ignitiion.
3. I learned how to turn on Progress Invoicing in QBO

Like I said, nothing major, just some simple things that prove that you can teach an old accountant new tricks!

Intuit has announced a major change to the ProAdvisor's wholesale billing discount as retail prices are scheduled to increase by 14 - 25% in coming months.  What does this mean?  For end users paying for their own subscription, this is a direct hit to your bottom line starting in September.
