And a few more…

Accessible anywhere, at any time

Access your data, financial information, reports and the information you need to make business decisions on the go from anywhere, anytime and on any device – including mobile! To access your cloud-based accounting dashboard all you need is your device, an internet connection and your login information. That’s it. And don’t be concerned with the security of this software, we’ll get to that next!

The safest way to secure information

Cloud software trumps traditional accounting desktop systems. Just think, a physical hard drive can’t be stolen, nor can files be burnt in the event of a natural disaster. Instead, cloud based accounting software safely stores and encrypts all your accounts, data and records on a cloud server, with layers of security and encryption. Rest assured that the security and privacy of your organisation’s data is always airtight.

Accurate, real-time financial data

Cloud accounting systems provide you with a clear and up-to-date overview of your business’ current financial position. This means that you have all the information on hand to understand your business’ performance and make informed decisions, a fundamental in running a successful business. The platforms dashboards are simple to use and the custom reporting feature means valuable data is quickly accessible.

Collaboration with your team

With Xero online accounting (our choice of cloud accounting software), multi-user access makes it easy to collaborate online with your team. You can grant your colleagues, management team and advisers access to the same numbers. Importantly, you can also restrict user access as you need. This increased collaboration between your business, clients and financial advisers, means that you can also expect advice in real-time.

It saves you time

Cloud bookkeeping is a time effective solution that allows you to work smarter and faster. Cloud software provides you with an online dashboard with bank feeds, simple reporting and automated processes. Day-to-day accounting tasks such as approving payments or invoicing customers can happen at the click of a button. No longer will you have to spend time finding receipts or organising paperwork, cloud accounting can automatically do it for you!

Track cash flow, and get paid faster

Online invoicing is a feature of cloud based software that allows you to immediately approve payments and send invoices to customers, saving you time and streamlining your processes. You can even set up follow up messages to invoices automatically! This in turn, helps businesses to track and improve cash flow, by encouraging timely payments.

Reduce upfront business costs

A major benefit of everything being done in the one cloud based system, is cost savings. Firstly, your work is saved automatically as you go, so you save money on tedious back-up procedures, system administration fees and maintenance. Also, any version upgrades and updates to the software are free and instantly available. This means that your upfront business costs are reduced and you’re always logged in to the most up-to-date version of the software, with all the latest features and information.
