Cloud accounting software

Weve just announced a new
partnership with Xero.

This presentation will explain what

Xero do and why weve partnered
with them
What is cloud
accounting?
Most businesses either use
spreadsheets to manage their
finances, which can be clunky...
...or desktop software which
can be old fashioned with
lots of limitations.
Cloud accounting software is
different to desktop, it is
accessed using the internet.
 Cloud accounting has
experienced rapid growth over
the past 3 years.
Accounting data is securely
stored on third party
servers, often referred to as
the cloud.
 Therefore, the only
requirement is a working
internet connection
 So your data can be
accessed anywhere, from
multiple types of device.
With this type of software
accountants and business
owners can always stay
connected
and share
data in a fast
and efficient
way.
Multiple users
can work
simultaneously
from more than
one location and
computer
