More and more accountants are moving to online accountancy to adapt to the digital era. If you aren’t sure about the ins and outs of online accountancy, then fear not as this blog has everything you need to know.
The Basics
Online accountancy is often called ‘cloud accounting’, and it’s the practice of managing your accounts and finances online. All you need is an internet connection so that you can stay in touch with your accountant and submit all of your information.
How Does It Work?
When you work with a local accountant, you will get together in person to share information and discuss your accounts. You can work with your accountant to submit tax returns, audit financial data, enhance your profits, and much more. An online accountant will do the same thing, but rather than a face to face meeting, you will do it all over the computer with the odd phone call/email.
Benefits Of Online Accountancy
- It’s more accessible and flexible. You don’t need to worry about being on the other side of the country, and you can manage your online accounts from anywhere in the world.
- You get a wider choice of accountants. It doesn’t matter where your accountant is, so the world is your oyster.
- Reduces the cost of travel and the time you take out of work. Going to see your accountant means covering the cost of fuel, but it also means taking time out of your working day. Nobody needs this, especially if you are self-employed. Time is money!
