What should you look for in cloud accounting software?
There are so many financial software solutions on the market; it’s hard to know which one is right for your organisation. At Whitegate we have done the hard work for you, using our knowledge, experience and expertise to select what we consider to be the very best cloud accounting software on the market – Exact Online. What’s more, Exact Online offers a proactive accounting solution for a range of organisations; from SMEs to large companies with operations across multiple sites.It’s also important to be aware that not all services sold as being cloud-based are true browser based software-as-a-service applications. So, what are the five key features that you should look for when choosing your cloud accounting software?
1. Flexibility
A good cloud accounting system gives you the information that you need in the format that you need it. This may be in a variety of different layouts for a range of different purposes. So any software needs to be flexible, offering more than one way of organising and presenting information.
2. Access
One of the greatest advantages of using cloud accounting is the fact that it enables secure access to designated stakeholders from anywhere. This also enables easier outsourcing to trusted users. Software services with user-friendly mobile applications are also a sign of a well thought-out, future-proofed data solution.
3. Ease of use
The best cloud accounting software is relatively intuitive. You shouldn’t need a degree in finance and accounting to carry out day to day tasks, although interpreting how the resultant data can help you optimise processes may require a little more skill.
4. Time saving
Automation is one of the most significant time saving strategies there is. The right software automates key processes simply, reducing duplication and the need to re-enter information at the same time as generating informative reports at the click of a mouse.
5. Secure
Data security is a key issue for every organisation. Any software that you choose must be designed with security in mind to ensure that your valuable data is as safe as it is possible to be.
Of course, any financial accounting now needs to be MTD (Making tax Digital) compliant. Many software companies are adding this functionality as an add-on facility for and extra charge. However, the best accounting software is designed with this already an essential component of the system to ensure seamless integration – and no hidden costs.

Testimonials
"You understood our business requirements very well and were happy to invest time in order to ensure I was happy with the solution. You are prepared to put in the hours to deliver, have a good understanding of business requirements and good response times to queries."
Tim, Benugo
"Personalised and local service are both important to us; by being a smaller company, that invariably leads to the personalised service. Your knowledge and most importantly you and your staff are the key strengths. You are all comfortable with accounting terms and make our staff equally comfortable whenever we need to talk on the phone. The changeover on this product was the least troublesome that I have ever come across."
Tony, Become Recruitment
Thank you for the training, we found it helpful. We will be in contact with any queries as you guys have always been very supportive. We found the training very useful and it defintitely met our needs. We will keep in touch with you in case of any queries. Thanks again for a great training session.
Ella, Greenwich Hospital
"I felt comfortable because you proposed credible solutions and were locally based. At the time I would have considered buying direct, depending on the cost implication. That, however, would have been because I had no experience of the additional value that could be added by a local specialist. You listened to my exact requirements and responded in such a way that demonstrated that you had understood and the training was customised likewise. Other Strengths include: Speed of response, making sure each question receives the best possible answer, and a culture of simple, effectively administered, professionalism."
Bruce, Dovetail
"To actually get someone to totally understand what is required in such a short space of time is very difficult and I compliment you on the way in which you have achieved that...Also the friendly and comfortable atmosphere that you created helped us a great deal in that we were able to give you a better idea of our needs."
