The future is here, now.
Gone are the days of handing your accountant a bag of crumpled receipts. Welcome to the cloud.
Is Cloud Accounting right for my business?
Almost certainly, yes. It's simple enough for a tradesperson invoicing between jobs, and powerful enough for larger organisations that need detailed dashboard reporting.
What is Cloud Accounting?
Keeping track of income and spending is the foundation of every business. Desktop software barely changed for decades — so what does the cloud do differently?
Traditional Accounting Software
Installed on a single office computer, which meant limited access, regular updates and the cost and responsibility of secure backups.
Cloud Accounting
Does everything desktop software did and more. You log in online, it's always up to date, and your data is stored securely across multiple locations.
Benefits of Cloud Accounting
Moving to the cloud removes many of the costs and drawbacks of traditional accounting. Here's where it adds real value.
Access your accounts anywhere
Raise and send invoices from a client's premises, check whether you've been paid and log expenses on the go with the mobile app.
Real-time information
Run reports at any moment to see how profitable your business is today, so decisions about hiring or investment rest on current figures.
The app ecosystem
Connect add-ons for bill capture, cash flow forecasting, project management, payroll and more to cut admin time.
Live bank feeds
Your bank transactions flow into your accounts daily, so you can reconcile as you go and always see an accurate balance.
Always the latest version
No installs or updates — sign in and you're on the newest, most secure version automatically.
Secure sharing of data
Your accountant and advisers can see the same live figures you do, and staff can have limited logins for tasks like expenses or quotes.
Target Accounts have been Xero partners since the early years of cloud accounting. It's the package many accountants now prefer for its ease of use and flexibility, whatever the size of your business.
