  1. Hey Paul,

    Just came across your work while searching for A-Z Budget info and XERO setup. Looks like you’ve been busy on all fronts and bringing some common sense to the system 😉

    We’re embarking on our first feature doco production and interested in learning more about your tools and setting ourselves up.

    We’re still a little down the track in development mode, but we’re about to tip into full swing. I feel we’re at a point where we need to get these systems set up and get ready for funding applications, etc.

    Either way, it’d be great to connect and learn some more.

    Thanks,

    Shane
