Cloud Accounting

What is Cloud Accounting?

Cloud accounting is best described as ‘online accounting’. Instead of installing and running your accounting software on your local computer you access the software and your data files over the internet. Your data is securely stored ‘in the cloud’ rather than on your local hard drive or server which means you have access to your financial data from anywhere, at any time, using any device including your mobile phone or tablet. All you need is an internet connection. Most people now use the cloud for applications like internet banking.

As such, your choice of accounting software will depend on your business needs, level of accounting skill and platform preference. For that reason we support a number of programs including cloud based solutions. Increasingly our clients are opting for cloud based bookkeeping solutions because of the flexibility. You can run your business from home, work or on the go. The cloud also has the benefit of 24/7 access and all you need is an internet connection and your password.

You can access your financial data via the internet and invite your accountant or bookkeeper to view your accounts at the same time. This means you can get bookkeeping assistance and valuable advice in real-time. Log in online anytime, anywhere on your Mac, PC, tablet or smart phone to get a real-time view of your cashflow. Your data is completely secure, even if your computer is lost or stolen. Your data is automatically backed up and stored at various secure offsite locations.
