Cloud Accounting Software for Small Businesses

Looking to move your account to the cloud?

What is cloud software?

Cloud software is located on the internet rather than being loaded on your office computer which means you can access your business information where ever you are as long as you have internet access. All cloud software shares many benefits so which one is right for you will depend on the complexity of your business;

  • No security worries - each system has online banking security with secure backups

  • Cost effective - no costly software upgrades as each system is constantly updated and improved and all included in the fee

  • Banking - connect to your bank accounts to automatically import transactions

  • Dashboard - monitor cash flow at a glance and see when your tax bills are due

  • Estimates and invoices - send and track professionally designed estimates and invoices

  • Manage and record expenses easily - simply snap a photo with your phone and upload

  • Time tracking - record all your time with the in-built stopwatch or smart timesheets

  • VAT - review automatically generated MTD VAT returns and file with a single click

  • Payroll – run easy to use HMRC compliant RTI payroll
