Small Business Advice Cloud-based Accounting Software Advice from the Experts

Here is a guest blog post from Michael Koploy, ERP Analyst, Software Advice

Because of its attractive pricing model, collaboration benefits, and little-needed IT resources, more small business should look into online accounting software.

Software Advice, a website that reviews both on-premise and cloud-based software programs, recently held a roundtable discussion with three cloud-based accounting software CEOs. These executives from Intacct, ePartners (a Microsoft Dynamics GP VAR), and Kashoo offer solutions for a wide range of industries and sizes of businesses, but they agreed on a number of qualities that make online software a good choice for small and medium-sized businesses.

Here are some highlights from the roundtable discussion:
  • More small and medium sized companies (less than $2 million in annual revenue) are choosing to adopt online accounting and ERP solutions.
  • Users are becoming more comfortable with putting their important financial information in the cloud, thanks to users warming up to the idea of storing sensitive information on vendors’ servers.
  • Most industries are quickly moving to cloud-based financial systems. One of the industries that is not? Manufacturing.
  • Benefits of switching to online systems from on-premise software include: less IT requirements, improved financial visibility, improved process automation, cash preservation, and increased collaboration.
  • Mobile technology, decreased data entry, and more accounting-focused, cloud-based ERP solutions are seen as future trends in the industry.
