Accounting Software
Whether you are starting out in business and need a simple solution which offers bookkeeping basics, or whether you are an established firm that has outgrown its current system, choosing the right package can be tricky.
Make better-informed business decisions
Accounting software might sound dull (although we don't think so!), but it allows you to keep track of your cash flow, what you owe to suppliers, what customers owe you and your tax liabilities to HMRC. This means you can budget ahead for tax payments and gain greater visibility over the health of your business.
Choosing the right accounting system
There are essentially two types of system: cloud-based, which is online and usually payable monthly, or desktop-based, which is typically paid for as an annual licence. Both have pros and cons, but with an online system you can work from almost anywhere. In most cases, accountant access can also be enabled, meaning you and your accountant can work on the same system in real time.
OPTION 01
Cloud-based software
Access your accounts online from different locations and, where supported, allow your accountant to view the same information in real time.
OPTION 02
Desktop software
Traditional software installed on your computer, typically purchased through an annual licence. The right choice depends on your business and working preferences.
