Why Use Cloud Accounting for Your Business

Cloud accounting moves your books online, so you and your accountant can see the same real-time numbers from anywhere. For most Irish businesses it is faster, more accurate and far more useful than old desktop or spreadsheet bookkeeping.

What is cloud accounting?

Cloud accounting is bookkeeping software that runs in the browser rather than on one computer. Your data is stored securely online, and you can access it from your laptop, phone or tablet at any time. Xero is the leading cloud accounting platform used by Irish businesses and accountants.

The benefits

• Real-time numbers — you always know how the business is doing.
• Access anywhere — check your figures on the go.
• Automatic bank feeds — transactions import without manual entry.
• Less paperwork — capture receipts and invoices digitally.
• Better collaboration — your accountant sees the same live data.
• Automatic backups and security — no risk of a lost laptop or box of receipts.
