If you are a small business, or thinking of starting in business, controlling costs and getting value for money is key to survival and growth. Effective bookkeeping and record keeping is one area where great value can be generated. Using good, cloud based, software, which your accountant also has access to, will save you time and money. You can see how your business is doing, we can see how your business is doing, and jobs can be shared – reducing the time we need to spend replicating what you have done already.
There are a number of good accounting and bookkeeping sites. We regularly use KashFlow, Xero, Liquid Accounts and, increasingly, QuickBooks® Online.
What is QuickBooks® online?
A cloud based Accounting software which helps organise your business and makes it easier for you to meet HMRC requirements.
