What are the benefits of Cloud-based bookkeeping?
The Cloud is a place where you can access your data and applications at any time and from anywhere. There’s nothing to install and no need to update to the latest version – it all happens in the Cloud.
You can use any type of internet-connected device – your desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet or a mobile phone.
You won’t be tied to your office desk to deal with your finances anymore.
Your information is always up to date and you can give other people permission to access it from other devices too.
You can decide what they can see and change so you can keep control of your business.
Importantly, your information is secure and is always safely backed-up, so there’s no risk of losing your records. Even if your devices are lost, stolen or damaged, your information is secure.
