Founder and CEO at Eventwise, Chris Carter, and company set out to transform financial management in the sector for ‘greater efficiency and control’. Formerly a promoter in Bristol, Chris wanted to get into accounting. This episode, his first appearance on any sort of podcast, incidentally, serves to normalise that leap. Starting with some background, and the focused switch from artist to event ‘whole’, Chris discusses the triggers and ambitions behind developing and launching the Eventwise platform, ‘replacing’ the spreadsheet. Designed specifically for creatives, Eventwise isn’t complicated but it’s robust and structured. Prompted by host James Dickson, Chris goes on to talk about integrating with ticketing and other platforms, scenario planning, cost control and more besides.
