Apron, the AP accounting tech focusing on all things payable, has been on a mission for some big software releases since it burst onto the scene late last year post their Series raise. We catch up with Bogdan Uzbekov about his plans to service the accounting market and plans to go into banking, carding or lending. Hear more here.

Don't forget to book your ticket for our upcoming event - we hope to see you at the Digital Accountancy Show on the 16th and 17th of April.
