Intuit's Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings call was packed with numbers, and with her co-hosts sitting this one out, Alicia goes through them one by one to explain what each actually signals for bookkeepers, accountants, and QuickBooks users. She breaks down the strength of QuickBooks Online and mid-market growth, the slowdown in Desktop and Mailchimp, AI already running at scale, the shift toward assisted tax, and what the August pricing and packaging changes mean for your clients. She also steps off-script to share why she thinks Intuit raised prices before users were ready, and previews the deeper episodes coming on pricing and the ProPartner program.
