If you survived Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you can relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of Cloud Accounting news while you recover! There's a lot to cover, including Salesforce's potential Slack acquisition, how virtual HQs are racing to win over a remote work fatigued market, and what happens now that Intuit has won U.S. approval for purchase of Credit Karma. We'll also examine Expensify's $100 million in annual recurring revenue, a wealth of FreshBooks news, and ponder all the possibilities for spending Xero's mountain of cash. In other news, AWS went down in the midst of trying to upgrade capacity, Scottsdalians are among the first to get autonomously delivered stuff from Walmart, and how COVID has increased the urge to shop digitally. All this and more, right here, right now!
