Olivia Cosgrove is founder and CEO of Cashtrail, which provides NGOs with financial
software integrated with mapping tool [Google Earth](http://earth.google.com) that
helps them in budgeting, recording expenditure and preparing donor reports.

The software is written with non-financial managers in mind, but “caters for complex
multilayered operations with several donors and across a range of periods”.

The tool uses Google Earth to enable donors to find a project, explore it, see its
costs, and then donate to it. Cashtrail tracks these donations and provdies feedback
to the donors, helping them see and track the impact of their donations.
