Ackland Webb Accountants

Cloud accounting is simply accounting software that is cloud-based rather than running on a desktop or laptop. There is little difference between the two ways of working – the fact that it is in the cloud does not really change what you do on a day to day basis.

Managing your accounts in the cloud

There are many benefits to using cloud-based software:

  • The software is always up to date
  • It’s usually paid for as a monthly subscription
  • You don’t need a back-up routine
  • There’s no practical limit to the number of users you can have
  • Accountants can have direct access to the software
  • It’s secure
  • It’s easy to integrate with other products and software
  • You can access it from anywhere
  • It’s mobile-friendly
  • It’s compatible with the Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative

As a result, cloud-based software is now more popular than desktop applications. The majority of small businesses have chosen to switch to the cloud.

There are a wide range of cloud-based software services available to small businesses. The most well-known ones are Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage One and Zoho, but there are many others. Our own preference is Xero ( we are Xero certified partners) but it is important for you to choose the software that is right for you. We can (and will) support whatever software service you choose.
