Start-Up CFO / Mark Macleod
- Usage-based billing modelsI bought some credits for my long distance calling service Mobivox last week. I use this service at least once a week and yet this was the 1st time I had bought credits since April 2008 (when I was working there).

- Staffing Accounting/Finance Department from Start-up to Medium-Sized CompanyI have had a lot of conversations recently about staffing the accounting and finance function in the company.
