Show Notes

Johnny Kipps is a beekeeper. He also happens to live on the Isle of Man, having relocated from Cape Town in the 1990s. To add to the international intrigue, he is now the CEO of Forecast 5’s UK business, managing software that was born in New Zealand.

We can now pack the atlas away and focus on what this means for accountants.

Although Excel is the language of business, it opens everyone up to errors. This is a passion point for Johnny. With integrations into major accounting packages, Forecast 5 offers feature-laden forecasting and budgeting software.

To find out more about why this is important and what Forecast 5 tries to solve, listen to this podcast with Johnny Kipps. You can connect with him on LinkedIn here.
