I'm not a developer and use Heroku to host my site. It would be a major inconvenience for me if PaaS went away.

I imagine there are enough others like me that will keep these companies around awhile.

Not all transactions are created equal. Six figure cash disbursement transactions should require approval.

And any company that has so many six figure cash disbursement transactions that approving them is an administrative burden is the type of company that most needs this kind of control in the first place.

Emails should not be used to approve six figure cash transactions. An account reconciliation or approval of PTO? Sure.

You can easily set up your online banking to require one individual to intiate a wire transfer, and a separate individual to approve the transaction. This is a very basic financial control.

My guess is the companies falling victim to this don't have any formal controls in place.

According to two different 'Outlook of M&A' panels I attended in the past two months, corporations have more uninvested cash on their balance sheets than is typical. I mention that because even the money invested by the wealthy into corporations does not necessarily get spent by corporations. This is part of the reason why the argument for 'tax cuts for the wealthy' doesn't hold up under current conditions.

Thinking about it in terms of supply and demand of goods, increasing wealth of the middle class increases overall demand, and increasing wealth of the wealthy increases supply, but only to the extent that demand will support.

I help software companies solve accounting problems.

I'm a CPA with several years experience helping software companies. I started my career at a big 4 accounting firm in their technology practice and have since started my own boutique advisory firm.

I (or my resources) can provide interim CFO, Controller, Director of Revenue, and/or Senior Accountant-level services. Please contact me for more information!

I created a notepad document two weeks ago to track a.) each day that I do not move my car (bike everywhere instead) and b.) each meal that I prepare myself and eat in. I have ambitions to start tracking some more day-to-day goals like these.

I'm giving this app a shot to see if it has benefits over the .txt file. Thanks!

I read the post as being direct and confrontational (as opposed to passive-aggressive).

Mistake 2 - Does anyone have a great way of managing this process they could recommend to a non-programmer?
