What Are the Benefits of Cloud Accounting?

Have you heard about cloud accounting? It utilizes online servers for your accounting needs so you don't have to worry about expensive equipment or constant software upgrades.

I want to take a moment today to tell you about cloud accounting.

We CPAs are involved in varied areas of accounting and tax. One of my specialties happens to be income tax and tax problems. I also specialize in accounting and consulting for small business, which some may refer to as bookkeeping and consulting. Today, I wanted to introduce some things to you in the area of cloud accounting.

Cloud accounting is similar to traditional, desktop-based accounting solutions, except for the fact that it uses Internet servers to host the programs and data rather than your in-house machines and software. Most of the services are provided very inexpensively as software or as a service, rather than requiring a large up-front investment.

You also don’t have to worry about maintaining expensive equipment and constant software upgrades. You can access your programs and data on almost any device, including your iPhone, Android, iPad, or computer. As long as you have a good high-speed internet connection, you can work on cloud accounting programs without the expense of the latest and greatest hardware.
