Cloud Bookkeeping – Why You Should Use It

Bookkeeping is something every business needs – and needs to do well. It’s one of the most important components of success in the modern business world. The days of keeping the firm’s records in a cigar box ended before most people alive today were born.

It’s a fast-paced, extremely competitive world now, no matter what line of business your enterprise is in. You need your financial picture to be accurate, up-to-date, and very reliable. In recent years, software-based bookkeeping made a big task more manageable, but security was not built in, and staying current could be a challenge. Business bookkeeping is not a place you want to clean up security holes or deal with falling behind.

Cloud bookkeeping solves this – you access an advanced bookkeeping application on a secure server, where it’s curated and maintained by IT professionals.

  • It is always available – from anywhere in the world on any device with an internet connection. Small business cloud accounting to go.
  • It is always up to date – you don’t have to worry about upgrades and changes, because they happen behind the scenes, and you receive the benefits every time you log in.
  • Your data is secure – only designated users can access and work with it.
  • Your data is protected – shielded by strong security on the server and in transit from your location.
  • Your data is backed up – never worry again about losing critical financial information.

Why The Cloud? What Is The Cloud?

It’s still a new term – and not everyone is completely sure what it means. The cloud is just a quick way to refer to the huge and growing population of internet-deliverable services hosted offsite, possibly very far away from where they are utilised. Storage and security issues are consolidated to specialised data centres where software and data can be watched over and kept safe around the clock. A data centre never sleeps.

What The Cloud Can Do for You

As is often the case with the biggest breakthroughs, the benefits of the cloud are very large and something we can experience every day. Hosted accounting software that is always available anywhere, updated reliably, and monitored constantly gives back time to the user – time that no longer must be spent on the many details of keeping a critical application up and running. Time that can instead be spent on the more forward-looking aspects of running a business, or with family and friends, or doing the things one loves.
