Summary

Matthew "Spot" Fulton of Parkway Business Solutions rejoins Alicia after a year-long sabbatical to share something surprisingly useful: a totally fresh perspective on QBO's new interface, AI features, and bank feeds. Having missed the frustrating transition period, Spot logged back in without the emotional baggage of watching features break in real time -- and found things better than he expected. His "cold return" experience raises a bigger question about whether proximity to the chaos has skewed how accountants assess where QBO actually stands today.
