Cloud Accounting
What is Cloud Accounting?
Cloud accounting has the same functionality as traditional accounting, but with the database stored inside the cloud instead of the office computers. With this, there is no need to install an application on the computer, users would only require logging into their respective accounts to access the database stored in the cloud. Cloud is a platform that enables both the data and software to be accessible to the users anywhere, anytime.
