What is Cloud Accounting?
Cloud Accounting is a move from the traditional form of recording your transactions to using flexible software designed to suit your individual needs.
Access your data anytime, anywhere
Cloud Accounting software is designed to allow you to access your data and software from any place, at any time, on any device (as long as the device you’re using has an established internet connection) – providing ease of access. By having access to your business data on the move, you will see real-time financial information. You will have the ability to create and send sales invoices on the go, allowing for you to make prompt business decisions. This also ensures that you do not miss any invoicing opportunities.
Cost-effective
Cheaper than the average desktop accounting package, Cloud Accounting is a cost-effective option as all updates to the software are included in the original price, and are performed regularly – with no additional costs for maintenance.
