    PM+M and CFO Techstack to host North West StackedX event helping finance teams scale smarter with modern technology

    Finance professionals from across the North West are being invited to attend a free technology-focused event hosted by PM+M – the chartered accountancy, business advisory and financial planning group – and CFO Techstack that has been designed to help businesses scale efficiently and make smarter financial decisions using modern cloud systems.

    Taking place on Thursday 19th March at the Stables Country Club in Bury, the North West StackedX event will bring together industry-leading technology providers including Mayday, Dext, Xero, Fathom, Mimo and Capitalise for a morning of insight, practical guidance and real-world examples. Attendees will learn how to build smarter systems, reduce manual workloads and unlock greater value from their financial data.

    The event will explore how businesses can design and connect a modern finance app stack that integrates accounting, reporting, payroll and forecasting, whilst addressing common inefficiencies that slow growth. The ultimate aim is to provide practical understanding of where artificial intelligence can genuinely add value within finance functions, helping to improve accuracy, automate routine processes and enhance insight without overcomplicating existing systems.

    The session will also demonstrate how companies can unlock underused features in their current tools, improve confidence in their data and move beyond historic reporting towards real-time financial visibility that supports better decision-making and more meaningful business conversations.

    The event will also challenge the assumption that scaling finance functions requires investment in large, complex and costly ERP systems. Instead, it will demonstrate how well-designed cloud accounting and app-based solutions can provide many of the same benefits – including automation, control and real-time insight – in a far more flexible and cost-effective way. This makes the session particularly valuable for organisations reviewing their current systems or considering a move to cloud accounting for the first time.
    The event is aimed at in-house finance teams, finance managers, business leaders and owners who are responsible for financial decision-making, as well as organisations already using cloud accounting software, those questioning whether they need a traditional ERP solution or considering transitioning to modern, integrated systems.

    Rosie Cooper – director of Cloud Accounting at PM+M – said: “Finance teams are under increasing pressure to deliver faster insights while managing growing complexity, and technology plays a crucial role in making that possible. This event is about showcasing practical, achievable ways to build systems that truly support growth, helping to reduce manual work, improve visibility and helping people to make better strategic decisions with confidence.”

    Date and times:           Thursday 19 March, 9am to 11am

    Don’t get caught off guard by cash flow surprises this Bonfire Night

    As November arrives and the nights sparkle with fireworks, one thing still threatens to dampen the celebrations for business owners – a sudden cash flow shock. The good news? With the right technology and foresight, it’s a challenge you can anticipate – and manage with confidence.

    At PM+M, we’ve built a cloud accounting tech stack designed to keep financial flare-ups under control — giving you clarity, confidence and control when it matters most.

    🎇 Clarity through cloud accounting

    Xero + Syft
    Xero sits at the centre of our cloud accounting approach – automating tasks like bank reconciliation, invoice management, and reporting. When combined with Syft, businesses gain access to advanced analytics and cash flow forecasting, with visibility up to 180 days ahead. These insights make it easier to scenario plan and make informed decisions before small issues become bigger bangs.

    🎆 Seeing the bigger picture

    Futrli + Fathom
    When planning for the future, we use tools such as Futrli by Sage and Fathom. Whether it’s three-way cash flow forecasting, visual dashboards, or board-ready reports, these platforms help translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights. They’re ideal for schools, SMEs, and growing firms that need to stay agile and accountable.

    🔥 Strengthening supplier relationships

    Capitalise
    Managing cash flow isn’t just about internal processes — it’s also about building resilience through partnerships. With Capitalise, we help clients improve access to credit, extend supplier terms, and strengthen their financial position. This proactive approach supports smoother operations and stronger supplier relationships.

    💥 Flexibility when it’s needed

    Mimo
    When timing is tight, Mimo gives businesses breathing space by spreading payments over 30, 60, or 90 days — all while maintaining control and visibility. It’s a simple way to manage short-term cash pressures without disrupting day-to-day operations.

    🎇 Get in touch

    Our cloud accounting team ensures every client – from start-ups to established organisations – benefits from tailored software, bespoke app stacks, and ongoing training. The result? More time to focus on what really matters: growing your business with confidence.
