When running a business, access to the most up-to-date financial data is vital so you can make well-informed strategic decisions. Cloud accounting can provide this.
Traditional desktop accounting software doesn’t show you the whole picture. Lack of access to real-time data can have serious consequences when making decisions about the future direction of your business. It can also have implications for the professional advice you receive. If your accountant only sees your records at tax time, it may be too late to remedy problems or suggest alternative strategies.
What is Cloud Bookkeeping?
Cloud-based software is accessed through the internet and lets you enter and track all types of financial data in real time, from anywhere in the world.
You can control what information other people in your organisation can access, and share access with your accountant. Your accountant will be able to collaborate with you to manage all of your financial operations including expenses, payroll, purchase orders, invoices, financial reporting.
