Apricote Studios was founded by Quentin Pain in
1985 to develop accounting software for the
Acorn Computers platform. By the demise
of Acorn, it became the market leader of both home and business
accounting software.
Quentin Pain then went on to found
Accountz.com Ltd (1999) who developed the Personal Accounts range
of home accounting software. This was followed with the 'accountz'
range including Home Accountz, Business Accountz and Startup
Accountz. The new range are the first examples of a multi-platform,
multi-language, multi-user home and business management software
suite.
