Not Just Numbers: Forecasting Software vs Excel

Hi, I'm Glen Feechan. Welcome to my blog - Not Just Numbers.

I am from Sunderland in the North-East of England and Chief Executive of Feechan Consulting Group. Take a look at my LinkedIn profile if you want to know more.

Through this blog I aim to provide useful and/or entertaining content for those responsible for the financial side of their businesses. Although aimed loosely at finance directors, I have many subscribers from managing directors at one end to anyone who ever opened a spreadsheet. I aim to stay away from the hardcore accounting stuff - there are plenty of places to get that if that's what you are after, but finance is Not Just Numbers.

You can also sign up to the free Not Just Numbers monthly ezine (over to your left) and get a free report, the monthly ezine and regular updates of new posts to the blog.

Also have a look at the freebies section of the blog for free training videos, etc.

I hope you find the content useful and that every now and again it makes you smile.

Regards

Glen Feechan

It gives a good overview of the arguments in what has always been a vexing question for accountants.
