How do I set up an online cloud accounting system?
There are so many vendors and bolt-on APIs and applications that the question really needs to be driven by your accounting and reporting needs.
Questions to be asked include:
- What are your priorities from an accounting system?
- Is it just the basics of bookkeeping, MTD and reporting you need?
- Or do you need additional features, such as consolidation, departmental analysis, multi-currency or cashflow forecasting?
In truth, anyone can set up an online accounting system quickly and easily using the likes of Quickbooks, Sage or Xero. These vendors have great support libraries available to you. However, it’s always worth starting with the end goal in mind to make sure the set-up is done properly at day 1. This will save you having rebuild issues further down the line. As Donald Rumsfeld said, ‘there are things we don’t know we don’t know.” This certainly holds true when it comes to any kind of system implementation project, which is why we love to help our clients out in this area.
