Your business guide to cloud accounting
Here then is our simple business guide to cloud accounting
Cloud accounting is the simple, online way to manage your business finances.
Instead of working from a local accounting application that’s installed on your computer, cloud accounting software lets you log in from your usual web browser, on your laptop or mobile device. It’s fast, efficient and safely backs up all your financial accounts and data in the cloud.
Cloud accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent transform the way you work on your numbers (and brings some real digital efficiency to your finances)
You have one online hub for all your financial management, with cloud-based tools for the main bookkeeping, accounting and reporting tasks. Plus your accountant, advisers and finance director can all access your accounts online, making it far easier to collaborate.
How does cloud accounting affect your business?
Switching to cloud accounting is essential if you want to run a successful business. Most popular accounting platforms are designed to be the centre of your whole business system, with accounting, performance tracking, reporting and other app integrations a big part of the mix.
