4 Essential Apps for Cloud Accounting Success

::Together with Rewind::

I had a good bookkeeping life before cloud accounting technology rolled around. In fact, it was great.

It still is. Better actually. Cloud accounting technology has vastly improved the way I work and deliver my services to my clients. More on that in a minute.

I love the routine of bookkeeping. It’s organized – the steps and stages are a soothing rhythm of calm and control. There’s a hard start and finish – so for someone task-oriented, like say – me, it’s terrific. There is puzzle solving, mapping, and precision.

In the end, you create useful information to help your clients grow and prosper. The personal satisfaction level can be pretty amazing.

In the days of old, as in less than a decade ago, the technology was far different than today. And the mundane task load was heavy. Opening mail, entering transactions, cutting cheques, printing invoices, mailing “schtuff”… and then filing, filing, filing!

And there was this thing. An essential thing. But a real pain in the butt thing. Backing up an accounting file. And sending a backup to safe havens (or forgetting to), sharing or reinstalling a backup (and then realizing it was the wrong file version).

Bookkeeping was task-heavy, risk-heavy and collaboration with client light.

Not anymore. Cloud technology has changed all that.

Actually, to be clear, people have changed all that. Without the founders, developers and those that have put themselves out there to create the tech, there would be no new version of my business (and personal) life. My gratitude knows no bounds.

I craft processes and automation for future-thinking accounting professionals who believe in the mightiness of online technology.

I want every accounting professional to love running a cloud-based business as much as I do. 

Embracing the cloud requires effective best practices, consistent communication, and efficient processes, systems, and workflows. That's why we have dozens of pre-built templates to take the pain out of creating optimization in your firm.

I’m always wondering what you would do more of—outside of work—if processes, automation, and apps gave you your life back.
