RECKON

Reckon is well known as a leading provider of software solutions for accounting and bookkeeping professionals, as well as small to medium sized businesses, small office/home office users and personal wealth management sectors in Australia and New Zealand. The fledgling company is funded by the $2,000 credit limit on Phil's Visa card and a loan against Greg"s old Commodore. When Reckon Software Pty Limited opens for business, its only other asset is Phil’s delivery van which is used for door-to-door sales. Greg's co-worker in London, Steve Rickwood, moves to Sydney and joins the company as an equal partner. Steve stayed with the firm until 2000 but remains a major shareholder.
