Cloud Bookkeeping

A cloud accounting system will make your life so much easier.

What is cloud bookkeeping? First, let’s look at the 3 common types of accounting systems:

Manual System

It's cheap; you only have to buy a book. But that’s a false economy, and it simply takes the accountant too long to produce accounts so you end up with bigger accountancy fees. Manual systems also do not provide that all-important management information for making great business decisions.

Excel and other spreadsheet-based system

This is also cheap. But whilst you can automate some processes (e.g. adding up columns), they take time to set up, you need advanced Excel skills to produce management reports and you can waste hours editing spreadsheets as your business grows and evolves.

The old-fashioned desktop system

This is also cheap. But whilst you can automate some processes (e.g. adding up columns), they take time to set up, you need advanced Excel skills to produce management reports and you can waste hours editing spreadsheets as your business grows and evolves.

In contrast, a modern cloud accounting system gives you the following benefits:

  • It saves you a very significant amount of time,
  • It gives you 24/7 access to up-to-date financial information and reports (you can use cloud-based software from any device with an internet connection),
  • You can sleep at night knowing your sensitive financial data is always secure and backed-up automatically,
  • No system downtime because all software upgrades are automatically installed.
  • It reduces your accountancy fees because it makes it easier for your accountant to produce end of year accounts

So what does it all cost? Much, much less than the $60,000 you would pay for a full-time bookkeeper. If you do not currently have a cloud accounting system, there is a one off payment from as little as $499 plus GST to get your system set up.
