Lots of you got to see Tugg Gently last Friday when he introduced himself.
It would be fair to say the reception was somewhat mixed as he noted on his own blog.
He certainly got people talking. There were lots of tweets and plenty of discussions on UKBF, 4Networking, Ecademy, Facebook and...

You can find out much more about Tugg’s interesting...
I thought I ought to do a follow up post to update on progress since my post a few weeks back on our aborted fundraising exercise.

The frustrating thing was that I knew what we needed to do to really step things up a...
Our eco-system is getting pretty big now with 50 integrated products or services as well as a number of our own products.

I had lunch yesterday with Will Farnell, one of the hundreds of accountants that use our OrbitAccounts product.
He had some interesting stuff to say on the changing role of the accountant. A lot of the advice they used to give is now freely available on the internet for anyone who cares to...
It’s been something of an open secret over recent months that we, KashFlow, have been in a process/undertaking a strategic review/considering our options/[insert-preferred-euphemism] in recent months.
So I thought I’d take this opportunity to update you on what’s been going on and where we’ve...
There are a countless different business awards, but most of them are targeted at established businesses that have a trading history of at least a year or two – even those that claim to be for “startups”.
So it was refreshing to hear about uStartup.

Last week SwitchPlane published a comprehnsive blog post demonstrating how to connect to the KashFlow API from PHP.
If you’ve dabbled with PHP and fancy trying to connect your site to KashFlow then it’s a great place to start.
Also check out the additional resources for PHP and other...
Our good friends at Microsoft have provided us with 8 copies of Office Home and Business 2010 to give away.
I’d have preferred to have got annual licenses to their web-based 365 product (currently in beta) as it would have been a better fit with our online accounting software – but beggars...
We’ve just released a number of improvements to Orbit Accounts, our product for accountants in practice.
These improvements are available immediately (and at no extra charge) for existing customers, and are also available in the free demonstration and trial for potential new customers...
Bank reconciliations in KashFlow have always been a contentious point amongst accountants that use our accounting software.
There’s no option to save a reconciliation at a point in time or a number of other options accountants are used to.

I recently bought a Sonos Multi-room sound system and put all my MP3s on a NAS drive (Buffalo LinkStation) so they were accessible in any room from the Sonos system and via our laptops for iTunes.
Much to my wifes delight, I decided to use the Easter weekend to sort out the MP3 collection so...
2011 has seen the big boys of the UK accounting software world, Sage and Intuit, finally enter the SaaS marketplace.
After their first abortion of an attempt, Sage went back to the drawing board and delivered a technically sound product.
Six months after Intuit was initially touting an...
Our customers are used to having all of their invoicing and accounting tasks made really easy and they often ask us to recommend products that are equally as affordable, easy-to-use and well supported.
So when we recently started using MailChimp for our own email marketing we knew KashFlow...

I got into a bit of a debate on Twitter about product roadmaps (ie, what we’re going to be adding to our accounting software product over the coming week, months and years). I thought rather than trying to explain (justify?) myself in 140 characters I should write a blog post instead...
If you’re starting a web-based business you more than likely want a .com domain name (feel free to disagree with that statement on the forums)
Quite often you might start with some other domain and once your business starts growing you want to find a .com domain for it.
But all the good...
It’s been just over a month since A1 Business Forums merged with the KashFlow Forums to create the KashFlow Business Forums.
We’ve since tidied up the forums a bit to reduce the number of different sections and use human-friendly forum names instead of search-engine friendly names. This...
An internal email was just sent to our tech team about a problem, ending with “Can someone look into this?”
It reminded me of a short story about responsibility:

Andy Barr at 10Yetis is my “go-to guy” for anything PR related. I asked him if he’d be kind enough to write a guest post for my blog.
He said no.
