We’ve used cloud accounting since 2013 and we love seeing the difference it makes to clients’ lives and their businesses

Cloud Software

From a single solution to a full app stack, Wecount Ltd can help!

What is Cloud Accounting?

Cloud accounting gives you access to your business numbers 24/7, from any location where you have an internet connection, removing the need to work from one office-based computer or laptop. You can log in via a web browser from your laptop, or use your provider’s mobile app to access your accounts from your phone or tablet.

Is my data safe?

Yes! Cloud applications use encrypted connections when communicating or transferring your data. This means information is encrypted on your device before it moves to their server and also when it comes back again. There are best practice measures that you as the user can put in place too, such as:

  • Use a strong, unique password that’s as long as you can manage
  • Set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) as an extra layer of protection
  • Make sure your computer or device has all recent software updates installed, to make your devices as secure as possible
  • Is it expensive?

    Some solutions are available free and some are paid for. Time saved by using cloud accounting tends to mean that any cost is actually a saving!

    I’m not a fan of technology…

    Neither were lots of our lovely clients, but they are now reaping the rewards of having systems that work! At Wecount Ltd we work with our clients digitally, because we know that it works, it makes people’s lives easier and it’s future-proofing your business.

    “A client was invoicing using a Word Document. This was time consuming for her and she often accidentally saved over an old invoice, with a new one which meant she had lost the original. We helped her set up an invoicing system using cloud software. She now emails her invoices directly to customers who receive a professional looking invoice at the point of sale. This system means she is often paid quicker than she wouldn’t have been using her old system.”
