Hey,

We looked at some other products around sharing but it was working out at a cost of nearly a euro a share. Seemed crazy, but your right it's not idea. We'll make it better over time. We had a bit of a push to get the new marketing site up etc.

Glad you find it useful, took a while to put it together in a useful way.

Hey HN,

We created this guide after running through the process ourselves and thought we'd put something together to help the community. It's about 136k in total you can get. We got some tips from other startups guys and popped it all together into a pdf with infographic.

Hope you find it helpful. Let me know your feedback @bullethq

Well John my co-founder is the engineer and he came up with the new copy. We got rid of the 'No Signup', the no credit card is a strong message, once your onto the next step you'll see we don't ask for a signup. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi, idea of 'Who paid you', is for people that do work then invoice later, say you have a regular client. I've just tried to replicate that error and can't - can you drop me a mail on peter at bullethq.com.

Yep we're 100% with you but it's tricky to build but on our list. What you see now it the MVP for saying good bye to your accountant.

We have GetItKeep it on our list but I think they're changed direction and are working in the US.

Yep - our product is gear for companies up to about 10 users. In Ireland about 80% of the market is SME and that's under 5. Great thing with cloud is you can reach these people, but still deliver a cost effective solution and reduce stress.

Thanks Man. My co-founder will be pumped the demo took a long time to build.

fiskah just said the same about the copy - I think we'll change it. It's mean to be the opp, I hate having to sign up to try stuff out. Doh!

Thanks - We we're wondering about that. You know what it took us a month to build the demo tech - so you could save it as a live session. Any suggestions???

Thanks man. I spent 10 years working for Rabobank... Well I thought myself UI design. John who does the dev would say the same things as you. But I really think UI starts from the Dev. Example he was the one who met with the A/cant but still fought the simplicity. Then he'd say to me design a process for paying someone and you have to include xyz. I'd design it and send the screen back (not explaining them) if he didn't get a step we'd a prob and so on. If you look at the design I use it's just boxes. I'm not a graphic designer we just didn't have the money to hire one. But here is an interesting thing. If you look at dribbble it's full of beautiful design but when you then check out the sites they were designing for all their design is removed or broken (not all the time) so what that really says is keep it simple. As a point I use fireworks 8 - it's great at boxes and that all I can use. Means the site's super fast too. If you need any advice on it let me know follow me on twitter and we can share emails @peterconnor

Thanks. The fee is taken for limited companies. What our thinking is. Don't spend 2k or 1,500 on an accountant to do your book keeping and fill out forms for you. If you're going to spend that kind of money spend it on a tax advisor etc. But there are a lot of business out there that spend 2k on their accountant and see them once a year, and 2k could help a lot of comps at the moment. Thanks again for checking us out.

Hey yep we know FreeAgent they're doing a great job and it's great to see they've got funding. They've been around a good number of years now.

Just to point out though - we fully automate all your tax return and provide payroll. With Bullet you don't need an accountant, with FreeAgent you do (unless of course you're comfortable doing your own returns). But the more Bullets and FreeAgents in the world the better. Accounting products are crap at the moment and provide guys like you with an endless pain in the ass.
