Our program of integrations via our API is really gathering pace now.
I’ve just announced on Twitter (where we now announce virtually all our news first) that we now have 3 more world-class applications integrated with us.

Someone once said “There’s no such thing as an original idea”.
It is of course impossible to say who originally put forward the idea that there’s no such thing as an original idea - it’s all a bit chicken and egg.
I stumbled across this article in a 1935 copy of Modern Mechanix that kind of...
Get talking to any KashFlow customer about the benefits of our easy to use accounting software and it won’t be long before customer service is mentioned. We really kick arse when it comes to responding to support requests at odd hours and bending over backwards to keep the customer happy.
I’d...
Something I really like about Australian companies is the provocative and memorable brand names they create. A typical example being Start Ya *******, an “Instant Engine Starter”. In the accounting software space there is the brilliantly named Mind Your Own Business - or MYOB.
I’m told that in...
I'm a big fan of Innocent. The smoothie brand represents all that's good about business - a company set up by a group of friends that has made it big while managing to maintain ethical ideals and giving shedloads to charity.
With that in mind, I was among those who shed a metaphorical tear...
We’ve got some great people working here at KashFlow now.
The day to day development is sorted, the sales side of things is fully under control and I no longer have to worry about support.
What we are lacking though is someone who is more of a techie all-rounder to take care of the mixed bag...
did a podcast interview recently with Alex Bellinger of SmallBizPod fame. He asked me what advice I’d give to someone starting out in business now.
The biggest mistake I made when starting in business was to go 50/50 with somebody else. We both owned exactly half of the business as it seemed...
It seems we have a new product integrated with KashFlow virtually every day.
The latest is easywebstore, a hosted ecommerce platform. To incentivise our existing customers to take up their software they are offering a 50% reduction on their setup cost.
And of course we want existing...
Back in the dark old days of the internet, Compuserve hoped to have everyone connect to the net via their service. Rather than all these horrible double-you double-yew double-ewe dot names you’d just have Compuserve keywords.
So you’d connect to the internet using the Compuserve software and...
We’re adding new bits and pieces to KashFlow and improving what we currently have all of the time based on feedback from our customers. We list most of the noteworthy changes on our changelog page.
A year or so ago we came up with an idea of a Health Check report. You hear various rules of...
How many times have you heard (or even had) a good business idea? Probably quite often. When your family and social circle know you’re in business then you’re often the person that hears about the varied business ideas they have.
What I’ve come to realise is that the idea - whether it’s good...
The change in VAT rate on 1st December 2008 went relatively smoothly for accounting software vendors. The SaaS vendors all showed off that we got any required changes rolled out in the blink of an eye, some of us didn’t even need any changes.
But in reality the offline, locally installed...
Just as our accounting software is designed to be understood by people (like me) that aren’t accountants or have any formal accounting training; this is intended to be a brief and simple explanation of the Software as a Service (SaaS) business model for people (like me) that don’t have an MBA or...
Our profile has been raised significantly over the past 6 months. There’s a number of reasons for this.
Firstly the whole of “software as a service” as had a lift thanks to being endorsed by Barack Obama’s CIO and because it’s being widely acknowledged that SaaS will benefit (and be...
KashFlow is now free for existing MYOB, Quickbooks, or Sage users.
We’ve decided that for a limited time only (until the end of April to be precise) we are going to give KashFlow away for free for the first year to any new customers that can send us their existing copy of an MYOB, Quickbooks...
Picture the scene. This young wannabe-entrepreneur wants a couple of thousand pounds to start a business. Here’s his profile:
Age: 24
Marital Status: Engaged, pregnant fiancée
Employment Status: Long-term unemployed
Business Experience: None
Qualifications: None (left school at 15)

With Twitter being the new darling of the blogosphere there’s plenty of talk about how to promote your brand and business on there.
What there’s less talk about is how to use it to protect your brand. Here’s a great example from a big company.
A Little bit of Background
We recently moved all...
What is this?
Go on, you can say it. It’s not a trick question. This is spam. Nothing special about it - it’s just your common garden variety “immediate monthly income”, “secrets of millionaires” spam.
What’s surprising (or perhaps not) about it is where it comes from.

Gartner put out a report on Thursday entitled Gartner Fact Checks the Five Most Common SaaS assumptions.
Whilst a lot of the observations made by Gartner possibly hold true for larger companies (I wouldn’t know), they certainly don’t for the small businesses of the size that use our online...
In May last year when I met Alistair Darling he joked that he could “use some KashFlow” at the Treasury. Despite the sad truth behind his joke, I doubt I could give any useful advice to the Treasury.
However, there is something our developers could teach the banks about, and that’s efficiency...
