Leading up to an IPO of a UK based FMCG business, I needed a reliable simple to use Cash Flow software for our prospectus and due diligence. Sage had withdrawn Winforecast and although I tried a company that purported to offer something similar, I realised it was slow, didn’t balance and was not easy to use or customise. I didn’t have the luxury of time to bug fix so i resorted to an old dusty copy of unsupported software and hoped it would work. I made a mental note that I should write a piece of software to give a better solution from an accountant’s perspective.
