Let's get the bank feed set up, get your data in there, and then understand what are some of your goals, what are some of the problem areas that you've got, and then we can start building some dashboards to sort of really highlight those rather than trying to do it all at once.

He won't want to lose sight of that.

He made that pretty clear.

Yeah.

So you go in and have a look at your dashboard and then from your calendar, you can then go into that asset and update the balance or the value of that asset.
