Flexible Accounting Solutions

Convenient accounting systems in the cloud

Fast finance administration

Cloud accounting systems are enabling more and more businesses to save time on collecting and processing their financial data. Cloud accounting also means that HB Accountants can collaborate with you, to verify that transactions have been recorded correctly and tax opportunities have been taken up. From our Hertfordshire office we can access your up-to-date accounts, wherever you are based.

The difference with cloud accounting compared to traditional desk-top software is that data is held securely ‘in the cloud’ on remote servers. It can be securely accessed from any device, including laptops and mobile phones. This means that finance work that had to be completed back at base, such as raising quotations and invoices or checking cash in the bank can now be completed on the go.

The benefits you’d expect with desk-top systems, such as automated payment chasing, are built in too.

Cloud computing systems make it easy to comply with the current HMRC requirement for Making Tax Digital for VAT, which came into force on 1 April 2019.

Accounting support for every set-up

However you like to run your business, we can support you.

If you’ve embraced cloud accounting, then we can support you with a review of your bookkeeping processes and advice on where you could benefit from making any changes. If you are confident generating financial reports from these systems, we can help you with tax planning and verifying your submissions before you press the ‘send’ button.

If you want to migrate your desk-top accounting systems to a cloud accounting solution, then we can advise you about how to make the migration process as straightforward as possible. Once in place, we can review your practices and highlight opportunities. We can also prepare statutory reports such as Annual Accounts and VAT returns from your cloud accounting data.

If your business is not ready for cloud computing don’t worry. We can work with your records in whatever format they are held to create useful, digital, compliant accounts information for your business.

Registered HMRC Agent

As a registered Agent with HMRC we can submit legally required reports on your behalf, so that you comply with the requirements of Making Tax Digital for VAT.

Cloud Accounting options

From Sage to QuickBooks and Xero, there are many cloud accounting options. These enable medium and small organisations, and their accountants, to have immediate access to their data for better decision-making.
