During 2021 AYSO adopted the Divvy Credit Card program.  This program allowed AYSO to use their accounting platform Zipbooks for free.  Since then, Bill.com acquired Divvy and Zipbooks and as an Intuit partner, does not plan to continue to support Zipbooks.  Though no date has been announced, ASYO has made the decision to preemptively move to QuickBooks to prevent any business interruption.
