We spoke to partner Neil Whittingham about the strengths of Online Accounting and the plethora of connected apps which can be used to drive forward the reporting process.
Following the development of the leading cloud and online accounting packages it has become much easier to improve the level of management information available to business owners at a relatively low expense.
Gone are the dark days of checking the bank account to get an understanding of where your business stands.
Whilst the bank remains as important as ever the development of accounting applications and artificial intelligence means you can harness this power to produce key management information at the click of a button.
“Many clients aren’t aware of the efficiency savings available as a result of cloud accounting and integrated applications.
“Quite often there is a fear of the unknown and in particular new technology but we find that with our support as your accountants we can help to overcome that initial fear.
“We offer full training and assistance with the integration process and we’re always on hand to help with day-to-day issues that may occur.”
“Here at NR Barton we have a team of nearly 30 cloud certified staff who are on hand to help with the integration of cloud accounting and the supporting applications.”
From cash flow forecasting and projections, to sales integrations, to credit control to stock and project management, there are a host of integrations that can assist with what matters most to your business.
