IES Updates with Hector Garcia

Alicia and Hector Garcia catch up on a full year of Intuit Enterprise Suite development, covering multi-entity consolidation with automatic eliminations, dimensions that now span every transaction (including a new AI dimension backfill for historical data), and construction features like WIP reporting, negative change orders, and AIA-style billing that now surpass QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. They also dig into what's coming next for manufacturing and inventory, including multiple units of measure, and run through the IES features that have already trickled down into QBO Advanced, like cost groups, project phases, and proposals.
