Six reasons to consider moving to cloud or online accounting?
- You can run your business and access your accounts 24/7/365 - from work, home or on the go (see Xero touch).
- You can invite others to view your accounts - like your accountant or advisor and provide valuable real-time advice.
- Your data is completely secure, stored in the cloud even if your computer is lost or stolen.
- Unlike boxed software - there are NO backups, upgrades and NO support contracts to pay
- So it's most likely less expensive as well!
- Online accounting systems work on Macs or PCs - in fact from your phone like Xero Touch
Which online accounting system do we like best?
It's Xero - (with an X - not Zero with a Z)
- Xero is probably the easiest online accounting system we've ever used (and we've been helping clients with systems for over 20 years)
- Xero has automatic bank feeds, with auto suggestion to set rules, so it reduces bookkeeping time
- Xero has an easy to understand dashboard where you can see your cash position instantly
- Xero Touch allows you to see it all from your Smartphone. (Imagine going to a client and one click on your Smartphone tells you how much they owe!)
Yeah - besides that - what will it do for me the business owner?
Xero has been built open to developers who build business apps for it called Add-ons. Think of it like the iphone with its apps. These Add-Ons can make business life easier, are very cost-effective and easy to use. Here are some Xero Add-Ons that all link in seamlessly:
