How cloud accounting software works
Cloud accounting software, also known as online accounting software, operates by securely storing your financial data in the cloud rather than on your local device.
This provides small business owners with a cloud-based solution to access and manage income tracking, invoices, expenses, financial reports, inventory, and more, from any device with an internet connection. With cloud accounting, your books are conveniently maintained online, providing flexibility and accessibility.
Easily collaborate with colleagues
Because it's cloud-based, multiple users can to log into QuickBooks Online simultaneously, and it keeps track of any changes through a detailed activity log. Give access to your bookkeeper, accountant or colleagues so they can work directly with your data online.
Automatically have the latest software
Gone are the days of downloading software and upgrading with every new release. With QuickBooks cloud accounting software, simply subscribe and access the latest version immediately.
Make decisions with real time data
Make better and faster decisions because you're seeing financial data in real-time. Information like bank balances and transactions are instantly available, giving a more up-to-date and accurate view of cash flow.
