cloud Accounting Support
Online accounting offers a wealth of opportunity for small businesses. Also known as ‘cloud accounting’, it allows you to access accounting software online from anywhere as your data is stored remotely on a dedicated secure server system, or ‘the cloud’.
The automation and efficiency offered through tools such as bank feeds and automatic purchase invoice processing can be a game changer for businesses that need to save time. However, with so many accounting products on the market all claiming to make your life simple, deciding which one to use for your business is not always straightforward.
Cloud accounting benefits
- Easier access to balance statements
- Better accessibility and remote access
- Timely and accurate information
- Enhanced collaboration with clients
- Paperless reports and transactions
- Improved data security

MAKING TAX DIGITAL
The move to online accounting isn’t just a result of businesses desire for improved efficiency. In 2019, the whole tax system changed, with the introduction of ‘Making Tax Digital’ by HMRC. The initiative aimed to improve the way businesses and individuals declare their tax to HMRC using digital filing of information.
The initiative is being rolled out over a period of time, and while it started in April 2019 with VAT for businesses with a taxable turnover above the VAT threshold, it will be extended to all VAT-registered businesses in April 2022. From 2023 some income tax payers will also be affected by the ongoing changes.
Ultimately, businesses and organisations are now required to keep digital records to meet the requirements of tax legislation, and they are required to use a compatible software product to submit updates and returns to HMRC. Paper records are no longer sufficient for the purposes of completing tax returns.
Throughout the transition to Making Tax Digital we have supported many businesses in identifying the most appropriate software for their business, ensuring that their systems are used in the most efficient and affordable way.
