Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud accounting?

Traditionally, accounting was executed using software hosted locally on a desktop computer’s hard drive (e.g., QuickBooks desktop). Cloud accounting, on the other hand, is accounting that is executed using software that is hosted remotely on the cloud, i.e., online.
