Accounting Software

We keep up to-date with the latest accounting software so we can best advise your business

At Books2BAS we routinely utilise cloud-based technologies and encourage businesses to become paper-free with their bookkeeping. No more ledgers, timesheets or journals to file and store or searching for those random little receipts when you’re in the cloud!

XERO, MYOB and Quickbooks Online are common cloud-based bookkeeping software options used by small and medium businesses. Though all of the software packages have a similar purpose, each have different pros and cons when it comes to features, cost, ease of use and access to additional support and training. Many of these bookkeeping options offer add-ons which aren’t part of the standard package but can be installed to further simplify your business processes. Common add-ons will help you with:

• Job tracking
• Time tracking
• Invoice Processing

The first thing you, your business and Books2BAS Services will do together is audit your business with a financial health check. From there we will provide recommendations and the necessary support so that your bookkeeping solution delivers exactly what your business needs to be up-to-date, efficient, reliable and manageable.

Cloud-Based Software for Bookkeeping 101

Cloud-based bookkeeping is another way of saying computerised bookkeeping accessed via the internet and it has some amazing advantages:

• Your sensitive business data is secure and it’s backed up automatically so you never have to worry about anything being lost
• You can pull reports from any point in time and use historical data to make informed business decisions. Your data is always available to you no matter where you are or what device you are using. Yes, there really is an app for that!
• Feature upgrades are rolled out automatically as part of your subscription to the software service
• Cloud-based bookkeeping services are becoming more popular than their desktop-bound counterparts – mainly due to their convenience and 24/7 accessibility. When your software is cloud-based it is always up-to-date, there is no messing around with installation CDs or waiting an eternity while your computer loads the program or grinds its way through what should be a simple task.
