The last few months at Kashoo HQ have been incredible. And rather than pen some witty introductory paragraph, I’m going to dive right in and share with the Kashoo community all of the goodness… First, I’m thrilled to announce that we have entered into a strategic partnership with Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX), a leading provider of payroll, human resource, insurance, and benefits outsourcing solutions for small- to medium-sized. Obviously, this means great things for Kashoo customers and our ability to accelerate features and integrate with Paychex services. We’re also excited about what this partnership means for Paychex customers. I encourage you to read the full announcement here and stay tuned for more news on this exciting new partnership. Turning to the iOS front, we announced late last month that the Kashoo iPad app had cracked the Top 10 Business Apps list in 90 countries. Beyond that, the new Kashoo iPad app, released the day after iOS 7 went live (September 19), has been downloaded over 40,000 times. We’re also pleased to welcome to Kashoo the 15,000-plus new businesses that have joined us in the last four weeks. This sort of rapid growth reconfirms our belief that the future of small business accounting is on the tablet. We’re glad to have everyone aboard! Lastly, the Kashoo iPad app has been nominated a finalist for the second annual Tabby Awards /Business presented by TabTimes. Winners will be announced on November 13, 2013 in New York City, at a ceremony during the TabTimes TabletBiz conference. (Find out more about TabletBiz here.) That’s only the tip of the iceberg for now. There will be plenty of announcements and new features in the very near future. As always, we thank you for trusting your accounting to us and we’re looking forward to what’s ahead. Jim
