Cloud Accounting Is All About The Technology That Powers It

 

These are the apps that I have vetted and know will help you build out a great stack

Some have affiliate links for me (yay me!). Some have discounts & special offers for you (yay you!).

All of them are fabulous!

 

Before you get SAAS (Shiny App Attention Syndrome), decide what you really need to help you manage your business and your client relationships!

More is not necessarily better.

I would love to help you evaluate apps!

I have had a bookkeeping business for over a dozen years and have been running a cloud-based one since 2012. I love my tech stack and want to show it to you!


 Here is a link to a comprehensive spreadsheet of applications, their features and problems they solve.

It’s a pretty great resource - even if I do say so myself…
