Confused Communications Director Converts From Phobe to Phile
OK so here I am, feeling like Alice in Wonderland who’s fallen down the wrong rabbit hole! However, being a woman of some determination and an almost obsessive need to organise other people, businesses and indeed organisations I’m already feeling a strong urge to interfere.
For starters, technically challenged as I am, even I can see the progression for most businesses has to be online accounting yet the business world and certainly the Accountancy profession seems to be divided into two halves. There are those what luv it and there are those what don’t want anything to do with it! I suppose the good thing about that is it’s certainly stirring strong emotion in bosoms from one end of the UK to the other.
Of course I’ve put my business on the system now – it seemed rude not to but I have to say if I (logic being a foreign land to me) can pick it up immediately then I reckon everyone else is going to find it as easy as falling off a log.
Anyway I’m setting myself a crash course in understanding this brave new world. Have Alerted Google and they’re very kindly sending me all sorts of things, some of which are relevant. For example, great article by David Terrar which even to my uneducated eye makes a great deal of sense.
My conversion from phobe to phile continues, I’ll keep you posted!
Oh – and did I forget to say? Any comments, input, thoughts from all of you out there – send ‘em right on in, all contributions welcomed.

Welcome onboard – I get the feeling that the minority of e-conomic women who love words more than numbers has grown by a hundred per cent :=)
Hi and thanks so much for the welcome.
Indeed numbers and I aren’t a match made in heaven. However I’m hoping nobody here will pick up on that and I’ve developed a technique of gazing thoughtfully into the distance when anybody ask me anything vaguely techy. I’ve found this works well because people get tired of waiting and someone who actually knows what they’re talking about usually jumps in.
