Cloud accounting is great for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startups. There’s no initial cash investment for hardware, software, or a dedicated IT team. All you’ll need is a bit of time to personalize your accounts, upload your data, and learn how to use it. It’s not much different from on-site software, except for one area: it’s much easier to use. With plenty of online videos and tutorials, you’ll be using cloud-hosted QuickBooks before you know it. Most cloud services work on a monthly subscription model, but because cloud accounting requires fewer resources and little investment, it quickly becomes an economical choice.
