Accessing your information from anywhere and from any device is becoming more and more important to business owners. As is having access to accounts for various team members and having the ability to share information safely and work collaboratively. There is a never-ending list of benefits to making the switch from traditional bookkeeping to cloud accounting, whether it’s Xero Accounting, Quickbooks or Sage – we have the expertise to help.
So, What Is Cloud Accounting?
Cloud Accounting is essentially a replacement for your traditional accounting and bookkeeping software or processes. It will enable you to cut down on paperwork, save time with automated processes such as invoices, payment requests and sales/purchase data tracking.
As a cloud-based software, it can be accessed remotely from almost any device using an encrypted login. This gives you and your team the freedom to access it anywhere without being tied to a specific device. Your cloud accounting software can also be connected directly to your bank to save manual data entry, therefore eliminating human error.
What Are the Benefits of Cloud Accounting?
Over the years, we have worked with many clients that have made the switch from traditional to cloud accounting. Some of the benefits they have experienced include;
- Being able to access your financial information at any time and from anywhere.
- Collaborative working, reduced paperwork and secure file sharing.
- Saving time with automatic invoicing and payment processing.
- Sales/purchases connected directly from the bank to the books.
- Notifications and reminders about invoices and payments.
- Saving money on hardware and IT maintenance costs.
- Ongoing support from Friend & Grant.
