Online Bookkeeping to Grow Your Business

Online Bookkeeping to Grow Your Business

Online Bookkeeping is changing the way business owners run their businesses and I am still amazed that more business owners have not moved over to an online bookkeeping package. And even more astonished that so few accountants seem to have made the switch in their minds let alone explained the advantages to their clients. The days of sending the accounts file to your accountant and then either getting them to check a problem or produce the accounts (while you waited for its return to make the current entries) ought to be something from the past … like manual ledgers in copperplate handwriting!

24/7 Access to Your Financial Records

Online bookkeeping offers access to your financial records 24/7 with all the advantages of understanding your business financials in real time so that you can make correct decisions with accurate information at your fingertips. Entering invoices by taking a photo on your mobile and automatic bank feeds make the process massively easier for a non-specialist than it used to be, even a couple of years ago. With the right choice of software and good training from your accountant you will be up and running in no time and online bookkeeping will enable you to focus on running your own business well.
There are a number of decent packages out there to choose from. We like Xero but think QuickBooks Online has the edge. If you tried their first version, it was frankly pretty average. But now it is excellent and improving all the time. It has a wide and growing range of apps available to make everything from collecting your cash to taking card payments as easy as possible. We use it for our own accounts and love the ease of use and the great support among other things.
