If you’ve not heard the term cloud accounting before then you’ve come to the right place.
It means having an accounts system which is online. You access it through your browser instead of having a system installed on your computer.
There are some major advantages of working in this way:
Cost
You pay monthly for the service – so no more large up front fees. You also only need one license per business.
You should expect lower accountancy fees – Northcote offer their best deals to clients working on cloud accounting.
Ease
You can access your accounts from anywhere – on a PC or a Mac and even do your accounting on your ipad.
Collaboration with your accountant is a doddle. Northcote can log in and check your accounts at any point. Under our fixed fee plans we regularly check our clients position and it allows us to work much more closely with our clients than under traditional systems. Northcote work mainly across Leeds and Harrogate but have been able to work with clients further afield using this technology.
There is no server to maintain, no IT support costs and somebody else is managing your backups.
How we can help
Northcote are Xero certified accountants. We recommend in most cases that our clients use Xero. However you may also want to look at Freeagent and Liquid Accounts.
