● Confusing → difficult to find what you need

● Inaccessible → must run on Windows

Marketing StrategyWhat customers are saying:
● eLEDGER is easy to navigate, with a superior layout to other products
● It's nice having everything altogether
● This is basically the cost of a few cups of coffee, every month
● The most important aspect is my workflow – don't make me think!
What still needs to happen:● Disrupt the existing dependence on
accountants for the ordinary day-to-day stuff by breaking it out of the “too-hard-basket”
● Educate sole-traders/SMEs on these fundamentals, emphasising that “workflow” aspect
● Build some brand recognition and a presence in the marketplace
● Match competitors' Direct Bank Feeds automation feature
