The ProPartner Paradox

Alicia and returning guest Margie Remmers-Davis unpack the ProAdvisor program's transformation into ProPartner, from the Intuit Connect stage mishap that sparked panic to what the new tiers, three-year revenue share, and Career Pipeline Program actually mean for practitioners. They also dig into why the name change hits differently after a decade of Intuit pushing bookkeepers toward advisory work, and share fresh details on expanded ProAdvisor support hours that didn't make it into last week's episode.
