We’ve recently incorporated Cashboard into both of our companies over the last week.  The one thing I’ve noticed when trying it out was that when exporting an Invoice to PDF the Philippine currency symbol turned into “?” which wasn’t cool.  So being the picky guy that I am, I contacted Cashboard’s support team.  Within an hour I had a response stating that would be looking into the issue soon and would get back to me personally when it was resolved.  Sure enough 24 hours later I get a very personalized email stating the issue was resolved.
