What is accounting software?

Accounting software is developed to help businesses to save time managing and recording their accounting operations and to get a good overview of their revenues and expenses.

Who needs accounting software?

Using accounting software is ideal to get prepared for the tax time or create balance sheets, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses that want to do their accounting themselves or work together with their accountants.

• What is the advantage of online accounting software?
  If you use online accounting software, it means that your accounting software is not installed locally on a PC, but on a server owned by the software provider. This makes it easier for you to work together as a team. On the one hand, several employees can simultaneously create invoices and estimates, and on the other, you can also grant access to your accountant. So he can log into your accounting software and you no longer have to send him all the documents. Another advantage is that most online accounting software is also better protected against outages than the personal computer.

• Which is the best accounting software?
  There is a lot of good accounting software on the market. You need to think about your business needs and the prerequisites of your accounting and decide based on this list. For example, do you need specific reports? Would you like a separate account for your accountant? Do you mainly need accounting software to manage your receipts? If you know your requirements, it gets easier to find the best accounting software.

• Which features accounting software must have?
  The basic features that accounting software should have is the filing and categorization of documents. Documents are primarily incoming and outgoing invoices, but may also include estimates, purchase orders, delivery notes, and so on. Many accounting software have integrated invoicing software: you can use them to create estimates and automatically generate invoices and, if necessary, payment reminders from overdue invoices.
• I am a small business owner. Is there specific accounting software for me?
  As a small business owner, you may create fewer invoices and estimates than mid-sized companies and need fewer features. Many accounting software providers offer adapted versions and cheaper rates for small businesses.
