Online Accounting – Take Your Business To The Next Level

What is online accounting?

\Online accounting, is the application of online and internet technologies to the business accounting function.
 
Traditionally accounting was done through standalone systems like excel or specialized bookkeeping software and considered a necessary evil by businesses.  Online accounting systems, on the other hand, are typically designed with entrepreneurs in mind rather than accountants. 

 

The main focus of online accountants is to provide the key people associated with business access to live financial information and thereby support informed decision-making.  Therefore, they have the potential to change the way businesses operate by empowering business owners. An online accountant is there to support you in the same way a traditional account would if not more as they are generally more flexible and responsive due to their online nature.

Online accounting systems
 
Online accounting systems, such as Xero, are low-cost subscription-based services, payable monthly.  The software company handles the setup, security and maintenance of the system, therefore online software tends to be cheaper and more reliable than desktop software.  As a result, there is no costly installation, upgrades, exchange of data files, back-ups or disaster recovery for the average business owner to worry about.
