What is cloud accounting?
Put simply cloud accounting is like many other accounting software packages, but it is accessed via the internet.
Is it safe?
Many say its safer than traditional accounting software
The cloud-based applications use encrypted connections which means that before you send the information from your device it is encrypted and then sent to the remote server and again when it returns. But what does that mean? It means that because the data is encrypted it cannot be read or intercepted by a third party
No need to put data on flash drives
Back ups are often kept by the cloud accounting providers in more than one location should a network go down – meaning you still have access to your data
No trace of financial information is left on company laptops or computers
How will it benefit my business?
Flexibility – anywhere, anytime on any device with an internet connection via the web or an app
24/7 Real time data and visibility throughout the business increasing collaboration across departments and offices and with bookkeepers and accountants
Increases control of your financial processes
Potential monetary savings – eg less overheads; reduced IT costs, reduction in paper and storage costs
Frees up internal resources as you don’t have to install, back up or maintain the software yourself
No issues with different employees working on different software versions
Real time financial reporting
Sustainable and reduces paperwork, printing and postage costs
Speeds up payment processes
How does cloud accounting work?
The process for cloud accounting is very simple and is usually a 3 step process eg
Upload to cloud accounting platform
Scan your financial documents eg by phone, printer etc
Let the software work its magic

Richard works with a small number of clients in developing their own strategic plans, often involving succession planning, finance raising, mergers and acquisitions. This normally requires attendance at board meetings, which enables him to build a full understanding of the business and the management team.
