Technology plays an important role in today’s world and cloud accounting software is considered one of the most important. If used correctly it’s one of the most valuable tools for small but growing businesses. In this blog, we’ve listed the benefits of adopting cloud accounting software for small business:

It provides a clear picture of your business

The world of cloud accounting will provide you with real time views of your finances and a platform on which important business decisions can be made. It’s like a financial superpower at your fingertips saving you from having to search through piles of paperwork, simply produce reports at the click of a button.

Access anytime, anywhere on any device

Anywhere there’s an internet connection you’ll be able to access your data, whether you be bookkeeping your expenses or sending out a new sales invoice. It helps employee collaboration ensuring anyone, in any department can access the same data in real time.

Be green, go paperless

It’s always a challenge for any small business owner to keep their paper records up to date. Using cloud-based accounting software you can take pictures of every receipt on your mobile which will automatically be uploaded via our app. Receipts and invoices can be entered within the system easily. Just think about all of the paper, ink and postage stamps you wouldn’t have to splash out for!

Keeps your data secure

Security of data is of prime importance for every small business. It can often be a challenge for them to secure data in such a way that it cannot become lost, hacked or encrypted. Cloud accounting software stores your data on a cloud based, encrypted server, with multiple backups ensuring your data is secure and won’t be lost or become corrupt. If in any situation your computer crashes, you will still find your data saved in the cloud accounting system.

Manage your backups

If you want to backup correctly, you would need to back up on multiple devices, in multiple locations to ensure you’re covered for all scenarios. Such as a theft, natural disaster, corruption or computer failure. With the use of cloud accounting technology this will no longer be a worry.You don’t have to back up your files again and again as your data is completely stored in the cloud, we deal with the backups for you.

Saves time

Many businesses are still wasting their time posting and chasing invoices and keeping track of debtors manually. Cloud accounting software generates on brand invoices at the click of a button. It can also send out payment request reminders to your debtors to improve your cash flow without you having to lift a finger.

Cloud accounting software is designed for small businesses making it simple enough operate yourself. However, guides and tutorials are available to help you along the way.
