This is the question I have to do.

Pablo's venture has gone remarkably well. After five years he has 70 trucks in Trinidad, 15 in Tobago, 15 in Grenada, 30 in St. Lucia and 50 in Barbados. Revenues have grown from a few hundred thousand when he started to over 50 million in FY 2016. He incorporated the company three years ago and it is now known as Pablos™.

Of course, challenges come with explosive growth. Pablo's initial accounting and finance systems are groaning under the strain and he needs to do something about it now.

These are the questions and I have to explain what these systems do and make a recommendation. Hope you can help
