Rene' Lacerte, formerly of Intuit and more recently of PayCycle fame, is back --- this time with yet another Web 2.0 application that's sure to be a big hit around the neighborhood at "Technology & Public Accounting". He and his Palo Alto team (physically next door to the PayCycle offices) have launched CashView, a web based electronic cash management service that handles invoices, payments and paying bills. It's centered around a calendar view that tracks a company’s daily cash position --- past, present or future. Not surprisingly the service exports to QuickBooks desktop (2005 and forward) and, SaaS purists note this, seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks OnLine. Rene' and his team got a big honor when they officially launched last week (see video here) at the semi-annual Demo conference produced by Chris Shipley. The were named DEMOgod for Fall 2007 which is quite an honor in that only eight companies are so named --- from a pool of literally thousands!
If you know Lacerte you know his penchant for doing things right, an
d he's done that here again. Just like Ned Miller's old country classic says, "do what you do, do well", CashView does! The application is clean, straight-forward, effective and amazingly simply priced. After the "free" introductory period (through 2007) it's $10 per user and $1 per bill. If you serve clients that could use some structure (this is a WONDERFUL way to document and enforce business rule workflow) in the A/P and A/R areas, then you might want to take a look at CashView. IMHO it's worth a peek.
