Online accounting is fast becoming a necessity for small businesses across the UK, never more so than here in London.

Most entrepreneurs nowadays are tech-savvy and prefer to have everything just the way they like it. Keeping track of payments, invoices, bank accounts, general day-to-day bookkeeping – many of the small businesses and contractors we work with opt to manage the bookkeeping function themselves. The difference is they use online accounting for an affordable monthly fee. And whenever they have a question, we’re on hand with an answer.

Online accounting

With the advance of the government’s Making Tax Digital scheme, by 2019 many businesses will be mandated to keep digital records and provide quarterly updates to the HMRC for VAT. Fortunately, online accounting programmes like Xero put you one step ahead. Most of these programmes have an intuitive interface helping you to keep records of payment, invoices, inventories, tax changes and standing orders, among others. In short, every single penny moving through your business is condensed into one place for you to digest at your convenience. They’re also cloud-based, meaning the data are stored online and once they are in the system you can’t misplace them, which will come as a relief to some.
