HOW CAN ONLINE Accounting Software Help You GROW Your Business? Many businesses try to function without current, accurate, and reliable financial statements. Most of the time, this is the result of not having a good bookkeeping system in place. Today, businesses have access to affordable, easy-to-use tools to take care of their bookkeeping needs, so there’s no reason not to use them. Over the past few years, most of our business clients have made the switch to online accounting software. They understood that the benefits outweighed the costs. Consider: • Easy, instantaneous collaboration between teammembers and advisors. There is no need to send backup copies of files back and forth between the CPA, bookkeeper, and client. • Increased efficiency. It cuts down on bookkeeping time. No software download or updates are ever needed. You can work from any internet-connected computer. • Bank account and credit card feeds are downloaded daily. Your books are updated more frequently than just once a month, after the month ends. • Ease of access to financial information. Too many small- business owners go months without looking at their up-to-date financial information. • Key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics. You have access to up-to-date, accurate, and reliable financial information and business stats. This allows you to track business metrics, which can help you shift focus from the day-to-day tasks toward more strategic, longer-term goals. • Cloud accounting software has become affordable too. At Concierge CPAs®, we and our clients use QuickBooks Online by Intuit. Because we use it, our clients enjoy a 50 percent savings on their monthly subscription fees. Can your business continue to operate without online accounting software? Give us a call and let us know how we can bring your business into the new era of cloud-based bookkeeping— and a new era of efficiency. • Automatic cloud backups. You won’t lose data because of a hardware failure. Loss of data can be catastrophic.
