Product roadmap

Arria NLG's aim is to build a product that becomes an integral part of running a business. Future development of Recount will see continuous updates and releases of new features based on customer feedback. Arria NLG has hired an in-house Subject Matter Expert - a Chartered Accountant with over 20 years' experience, to work closely with customers to ensure product development meets their needs and objectives, and outperforms expectations.

Arria NLG plans to expand Recount's integrations to connect to other popular online accounting systems such as QuickBooks and Sage.

During 2017, Recount will also be launched in Arria NLG's main territories - North America and Asia Pacific.

Sharon Daniels, Chairman and Interim CEO of Arria NLG, commented: "For the first time, small- to medium-sized businesses have access to affordable accounting expertise and reporting at the click of a button. There has been positive feedback from the beta testing phase and it's been encouraging to have early adopters finding the product so useful. I'd like to personally thank the team at Arria NLG for all their hard work in bringing our first SaaS product to market and I'm extremely excited for its future developments in 2017."
