The Accounting Podcast
Fintek
Sage acquired the fourth fintek investment by sage in the last 12 months. They're ging to fold it into their efforts to build cloud base, practice management for accountants. To some extent, scanema all in, and you can see whey tey're building a full end, end stack. I think the only problem is the under the covers. How do you actually make them all work? That's going to be the bigger issue.
