About Phil

Editor & Lead Analyst. MS Finance, Former Government Performance Auditor (GAGAS)

Background

MS in Finance. Three years as a government performance auditor under GAGAS standards. I've reviewed more financial systems than most people know exist. This site exists because accounting software pricing is deliberately confusing. and the 'reviews' are written by people who've never reconciled a bank statement.
