Top 5 Benefits of Online Accounting Software
25 January 2016
There’s no question that online bookkeeping and accounting software has taken over the entire world. Having your books done online really opens up a lot of new opportunities in terms of your decision making and ensures you get the most out of your money.
If you’re still not convinced, here are top 5 reasons why you should do your accounting online.
It shows real-time reporting
Efficient management of cash-flow is the heart and soul of financial success for many businesses. If business owners do not have insight as to their business’ finances, chances are, they can make a costly decision that can hamper the success, if not suffer complete downfall of the business. Blindingly making decisions on a day-to-day basis can break the business.
Business owners know their numbers. Having real-time insight is one of the benefits of online bookkeeping. It allows business owners to take charge of the driver’s seat as it provides them of auto-updated, real-time information about the financial health of the business.
Income and expenses can be instantly viewed so owners would know where the money is coming from and more importantly, where it’s headed.
No more software updates to run…..ever!
One of the worst parts of having installed software on your computer system is ‘updates’. There are tasks which you need to do and updating your software shouldn’t be your problem. Sadly, it is and you might even be charged for a ‘newer version’.
Cloud software eliminates that. It auto-updates itself even on the changes in lodging process, rates or other legislations changes, and updates are free.
Fast reconciliations?
Set up your bank feeds, and reconciling is so much faster! Much of it can be automated with rules and repeat transactions. We’re happy to show you how!
It’s cost effective
Cloud applications are offered on a subscription basis, which means it operates on a Pay As You Go system - when you no longer need it you stop paying for it. Sometimes this can mean the software is ultimately more expensive but you have access to all updates without paying ‘extra’ each year for the software and updates occur automatically. It’s less of a burden on your cashflow.
