Tell us a bit about your business, and we’ll help you explore how cloud accounting can make your life easier. Quick, easy, and completely free.
Cloud-based accounting offers a more effective and efficient way to manage your business finances, and our cloud-based accounting packages are structured to provide the level of service your business needs—delivered by experienced cloud accountants.
Any-time, secure accounts access
With traditional desk-top packages, your access to your accounts is usually held on a local drive, effectively restricting access to your office base. With cloud accounting — supported by our cloud accountants — you can access your accounts anywhere, anytime, from your chosen device – even from your phone – giving you unlimited access to your essential figures.
At Accounting People, our cloud accountants use XERO and QuickBooks. Both are highly encrypted and stored on a cloud server, offering you high levels of security. All you need to log-in is a connection to the internet, and you can log-in from wherever you are, on whatever device and browser you’re using. You’re always using the most up-to-date and secure version, and always have access to the latest features.
Cloud-based accounting is a simple, secure way to ensure you always have your finger on the financial pulse of your business — with our cloud accountants on hand to help.
Here at Accounting People, we offer QuickBooks Cloud accounting to provide our clients with a simple, secure way to manage their accounts online.
Every business is different, with different needs, so we offer a range of pricing plans designed to offer you the flexibility to provide services you need.

Cost-effective cloud accounting
Keeping your accounts in the Cloud reduces your time and overheads, keeping you connected with your finances without the need to invest in additional hardware, software and maintenance. All the hosting, security, back-ups, maintenance and updates are done for you, covered by your monthly subscription.
Because you can access your accounts from anywhere, you can raise invoices and approve payments at any time, speeding up your processes and helping to keep on top of your cashflow.


Simple sharing and collaboration
When your accounts are cloud-based, sharing data with your colleagues or advisers is a straightforward process. No more emailing data back and forth; you, your management team, and your advisors can access the same information wherever they are, saving time and keeping your data more secure.
Environmental benefits
Cloud accounting can bring you a step closer to a paperless office. It reduces the need for hard copies of essential reports and returns and saves on overheads of paper and printing. If, like many businesses today, your teams are operating remotely, this can add up to a big saving, and significantly reduce the need for multiple print-outs.
Cloud-based accounting packages even allow you to quickly scan and upload receipts and incoming bills, saving you time and speeding up your payment processes, and keeping you more in control.
