COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you enquire.
What is different about cloud accounting?
The records are held with an online provider and accessed over the internet. Depending on the software, authorised users can work with the same information rather than exchange separate copies.
Will it always be cheaper?
Costs depend on the product, subscription and features you need. We discuss the options in the context of your business rather than assume a saving.
Does this include a dashboard?
Many cloud accounting products include dashboards and key indicators. We can discuss using the features of the selected accounting software; availability depends on its product and plan.
