Accounting software packages

Instead of limiting yourself to using Microsoft Excel, most companies will benefit from having a fully developed software package. Traditionally, these have been expensive and difficult to use, but over the past few years, the software has become cheaper and more intuitive. One of the popular software packages is QuickBooks, or if you want a simple free one, take a look at Pandle.

Cloud accounting software – Online accounts software

Most accounting packages are on the cloud, which means there is a monthly fee rather than a large initial cost. You can gain access to the software from anywhere with internet access. For passing information to your accountant or bookkeeper, they can be invited as a user. Most providers offer a free 30-day trial; this allows time to ensure the package is suitable for your needs.
