The cloud is basically a term for using online/internet tools. I think cloud accounting is one of the best practical tools for processing and storing data.

Information is practically at your fingertips especially if you are using your smart phones and iPADs.

Accessibility

Reach your data anytime you want, as long as you have an internet connection and an internet connected device to use. Cloud accounting allows you to work even from the comfort of your own home, using your iPAD, Iphone, laptop, …

On demand Financial Reporting

Financial data will link to your cloud accounting software, so press update or reports and it is ready. This is so convenient, you can get daily reports, you can also pay your bills, create and send invoice and collect money. The hours that you will save can translate to enormous benefits.

Accurate Data

Human data entry errors are eliminated since data is coming from its source the bank. No more, entering each cheque into the system data is imported in a few seconds. Again, this adds some much time back in to your business where you can focus on expanding or running your business.

Collaboration

Add other users to access and edit information such as us. We work with our clients and helped them organize the data even more.

Cost effective

Some software is even free! Such as Wave. QuickBooks online can be purchased on a small monthly fees. We like them both. The fees are based on a monthly plan, in our case, we pay for some of our clients’ subscription fees since we can get these licences at a wholesale price.

Secure

A lot of people have concerns about their data being in the clouds. The way I see it, they are better and more protected on for example Quickbooks Line servers than business owners’ computers. Software providers can afford to add extra security to protect clients’ data.

Upgrades and maintenance

Cloud based software are maintained and upgraded while they are being hosted on the provider platform. So there is no need to get a patch or installing a new upgrade.
