Bitwave open-sourced an agent-native accounting CLI and MCP server on July 23, 2026, arguing AI agents need command-line, diffable interfaces rather than GUI dashboards — the same properties git-tracked plain-text accounting has offered since before "agentic finance" was a marketing term.

QuickBooks Online now requires choosing between FIFO and Moving Average Cost inventory valuation and adds bills of materials with manufacturing orders.
