Crunch

Crunch bills itself as 'the Apple of the accounting world' - making accounting easier and more fun. It combines simple-to-use accounting software with telephone access to accountants and the personalised touch of an account manager. Backed by former Skype chairman Michael van-Swaaij and Bebo co-founder Paul Birch [Michael Birch abstained from voting on Crunch's Smarta 100 entry], Crunch launched in 2009 and has a 1,500 strong customer base paying £59.50 a month. It's targeting 10,000 subscribers by 2014. Fell appears on a personal mission to banish the image of the stuffy, grey accountant, appearing on Chris Evans' BBC Radio 2 drive-time show and releasing a Tetris-style iPhone game.
