Cloud accounting software

Introduces

We’ve just announced a new partnership with Xero.

This presentation will explain what Xero do and why we’ve 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

2006 in New Zealand
