## **How does cloud accounting work?**

Cloud Accounting performs the same tasks of traditional accounting software, except it runs using the internet and private servers. It can be accessed using web browsers.

- The business owner consults with the accountant and discusses objectives or deliverables.
- The accountant performs tasks via cloud accounting software.
- The business owner can access and check files at any place and at any time, using the internet.
- Files are then safely secured in the cloud servers which can be viewed anywhere and at any time using the internet.

 

## **Process**

- Scan your receipts, bills, or invoices and upload them to the cloud server in a few clicks.
- Accountants input data, perform transactions and maintain your books.
- You can now focus on running your business and leave the accounting to the experts.

 

## **Cloud Accounting Software Providers**

**QuickBooks** – Currently the market leader of cloud accounting software providers, Quickbooks Online is the cloud software version of Quickbooks, developed by Intuit.
