KashFlow now Free KashFlow Accounting Software

KashFlow is now free for existing MYOB, Quickbooks, or Sage users.

We’ve decided that for a limited time only (until the end of April to be precise) we are going to give KashFlow away for free for the first year to any new customers that can send us their existing copy of an MYOB, Quickbooks or Sage products.

How it works:

Register for a 60 day free trial of KashFlow here
If you like what you see then send us your Quickbooks, MYOB or Sage product to our postal address, along with your username.
We’ll then upgrade your account to a paid subscription with an expiry date of one year after your trial expires. So in effect, you’re getting 14 months for free.
Just like all of our customers, you’ll get free support and upgrades for life.

Why we are doing this:

Some people are only realising the benefits of web-based software after splashing out silly sums of money on boxed software.
In the current economic climate, it’s easier to stick to the inferior software you already have rather than pay a small monthly fee for something better.
Some start-ups have been tricked (sorry, there’s no other word for it) by their bank into buying Sage or Quickbooks, only to get it home and realise it’s too difficult to use.
KashFlow (the company) is in profit and the business model means it costs very little to add new customers – so we can afford to do this to win over market share.

The small print:

We must receive your product in it’s original Quickbooks/MYOB/Sage packaging and with proof of purchase.
We can withdraw this offer at any time
New customers only
Your product must arrive with us on or before 30th April 2009
Your product must have been purchased prior to 5/03/2009
Offer not available to anyone who types ‘Kashflow’ (lower case F)
We reserve the right to have a huge bonfire containing all the boxed software we receive.

So if you’ve been thinking about seeing what all the fuss is about, this is the best time to take KashFlow for a spin.

Update: Offer now extended to the end of July ‘09 – see here

“Offer not available to anyone who types ‘Kashflow’ (lower case F)” – lumme! Seriously?

And I thought you said there was a clause about no undersized ninjas? :P

Great offer though Duane, good stuff :) Be interested to see what the response is like – will you be blogging about it after the offer ends?

Only if the response is worth blogging about. If you hear nothing then assume it was a miserable failure!

Are you including TAS Books in the offer Duane? It is a Sage product!

Hi Dave,

Is there a flammable manual with it? If so, then yes.

The more bonfire fuel the better.

Think the manual may have long since gone in the bin, but the CD still has it’s A5 size case and I believe has a PDF copy of the manual if you would like to print it off and then burn it!

Our accountants said that we might have difficulty claiming firelighters as a marketing expense. But I’m willing to try it and see. So yes, send it in.

We will like your product a lot, it is simple and easy to use, and you have just added the multi-currency feature, which we badly needed. If you would just add the multi-invoicing feature so we can invoice from our different bank accounts, and also make the invoice more customisable so we can add the different requirements for an invoice in a non-UK country we would jump up and down with glee.
