I use Twitter every day. Anyone can follow me, and I’ll follow anyone who looks interesting.
Facebook I use much less frequently and don’t have (or want) many friends on there. It’s more personal/family related, although I do have KashFlow RSS feeds plugged into it.
My problem is with LinkedIn...
I got asked last week why we don’t have a Twitter badge on our website. I think the asker assumed it was an oversight.
It isn’t.
As I’ve written before, the purpose of the KashFlow website is to get potential customers to register to take a no-obligation, 60-day free trial of our accounting...
I needed some head shots done of a couple of my co-directors to go on OrbitAccounts.com, a new product we launched yesterday.
It was one of those rare occasions when we actually had everyone in the office, so took the opportunity for a group photo (click for larger version).

As our customer base as grown substantially this year, and continues to do so every month, so does the demand on our support team.
I needed a way to be able to closely monitor the current state of support without having to continuously log in to the support system.
So what we came up with is the...
This Friday sees Bournemouth host The Business Book Festival.
The line up of authors that will be speaking is pretty impressive and I suspect that Brad Burton will be worth the £35 entry fee on his own.
Operating on the IYDAYDG (if you don’t ask, you don’t get) principle, I asked the organizers...
A little while ago Dennis Howlett of AccManPro came in to KashFlow Towers and shot a video, part of which was an interview with me.
I honestly didn’t (and still don’t) think I said much that was interesting, but when it was published I got lots of great feedback from people. So I thought I’d...
I thought now might be a good time for us to publish what we do in terms of backing up your data and recovering from hardware failures.
This stuff long ago got more technical than I have the patience (read:competence) for, so I’ll hand you over to Tim McOwan, our CTO.
One of the key benefits of...
There’s been much talk about the impact of your social media presence on your job prospects. The thinking seems to be that a prospective employer searches your name on Google and discovers your Twitter feed or Facebook profile and is alarmed and disgusted by what you get up to at the weekends...
It amazes me how often I see websites with appallingly bad copy.
If you’re selling to a non-technical audience then pricing your product on gigabytes of data storage is a really bad idea. They don’t know or care how many documents they can store before they hit your 1GB freemium limit and then...
There’s no shortage of technological innovations that existed in the pages of a Science Fiction novel long before they existed in real life.
Augmented reality is straight from the books of William Gibson
Submarines from Jules Verne
Satellites from Arthur C. Clarke
- the list could go on and on...
I read recently that Amazon currently sell something like 180 e-books for every 100 dead-tree books.
I just finished reading Grumby as an e-book on my iPad via the Amazon Kindle software.
The book was a good read and it was a pleasure reading it on the iPad screen. Perhaps the best thing was...
Most of the KashFlow team will be heading over to Horniman at Hays pub on Thursday evening at about 6pm-ish, and we’ll be there until at least 8pm.
We’ve got a few customers and partners joining us – so we decided ...

Here’s a thought provoking question I got asked the other day:
Would you like to manage people in the same way you’d like to be managed?
For the answer Continue Reading...
Ben Weeks, a KashFlow customer, made a blog post recently about his move to the cloud for all of his business software needs.
He included this great diagram showing all the different products he uses, with arrows showing the integrations/data flow between the apps.

There are so many blogs I need/want to read on a regular basis. From competitors, to industry news to entrepreneurial and marketing specific blogs.
In the past I’ve always tended to randomly check in on the blogs when I got a free moment. But free moments are few and far between these days and I...
It’d be easy to assume there are no winners in the “tax and axe” emergency budget.
You’d be wrong.
It’s a great budget for entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs’ Relief Lifted To £5 Million
If you sell a business, you only pay 10% on the first £5m of gains, as opposed to the previous £2m limit.
OK, it’s...
Now we have proper programmers focusing on building, improving and maintaining our accounting application, I’m meant to be focusing on marketing whilst we are waiting to fill a marketing manager vacancy we have.
I’m finding that a little bit of programming skill goes a long way with digital...
There’s been a lot of talk in the blogosphere this month on the topic of organic growth or bootstrapping vs taking external money (ie, VCs, Angels, public listings, etc).
I think this is mainly fueled by Tony Hsieh talking on inc.com on “Why I sold Zappos” and Sridhar Vembu’s post on why...
I’ve never been one for the fluffy stuff. I’ve instructed colleagues to slap me repeatedly around the face if i ever use terms like “adding value”.
So when I recently found myself thinking it might be a good idea to have a written mission statement or “vision” for my company I started getting...
Apparently there’s some important football games going on some time soon. I don’t know my John Barnes from my Ronaldo, but a lot of the guys in the office want to watch one of the games on the 23rd that’s on in work hours.
If I say no, they’re only going to be constantly refreshing the sports...
