Ask Double can now read and post in Microsoft Teams on an accountant's behalf.

◆Current state
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around QuickBooks Online, with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. The October 22 release connects Ask Double to Microsoft Teams, where it can read chats and channels and send messages as the user after confirmation, and lets it draft executive summaries and act on batches of tasks. Bookkeeping work continues alongside: customer-level and whole-P&L allocations, partial fixed-asset disposals and reminders for every open client request. The week before brought Ask Double to Xero and Consolidations in beta.
◆Where it's heading
Two tracks run in parallel: fuller QBO bookkeeping coverage and an AI layer that reaches across a firm's tools. Teams is the first connector in these entries where Ask Double writes outside the ledger, not just reads, with a confirmation step as the guardrail. The assistant is becoming the way staff operate Double in bulk, from tasks to reports.
◆Prediction
Expect more write-capable connectors with the same confirm-before-send pattern, and Ask Double on Xero gaining write actions after its read-only beta.

It extends the October 1 connectors GA from reading context to acting, while bulk task actions and executive-summary drafting push the assistant deeper into daily firm work.

    Ask Double comes to Xero; Consolidations enters beta

    ⚡ SPARK

    Ask Double now reads Xero files, and Consolidations brings multi-entity reporting into the close. Both are betas, but they mark Double's first step off the QuickBooks-only ledger, with the AI assistant leading the way.

    Invoice custom fields, PDF splitting in Ask Double

    QBO custom fields on invoices and PDF splitting in Ask Double make Double-built invoices and attachments complete enough to skip QuickBooks itself. The note that the Double MCP and outside agents can create tasks is the quieter signal: Double is treating third-party agents as users.

    ⚡ SPARK

    Connectors leaving beta completes the arc that began with the July private beta: Ask Double can now pull context from tools outside the ledger. It shifts the assistant from a bookkeeping helper toward a practice-wide workspace.

    Undeposited Funds deposits and bank-feed matching

    Grouping Undeposited Funds into bank deposits and matching them from the feed closes a common QBO reconciliation gap inside Double. It continues the push to keep bookkeepers out of QBO itself.

    Invoices gain sales tax, addresses, terms and discounts

    Invoices created in Double now carry sales tax, addresses, payment terms and discounts. This makes Double-originated invoices complete enough to replace creating them in QBO.
