Alicia tackles a major issue she's encountered while training CPAs: the outdated practice of using journal entries to fix miscategorized transactions instead of properly reclassifying them. She explains why this traditional approach fails in the modern QuickBooks environment, where AI learns from past categorizations and business owners need accurate data throughout the year, not just at year-end. The episode focuses on the powerful Reclassify Transactions tool and how it can save time while ensuring data accuracy across all reporting periods.
