Software as a Service (SaaS)

and/or cloud solutions offer a

number of compelling benefits

to CPAs who are ready and

willing to adopt them




If your Los Angeles CPA firm

has been hesitant to migrate

your applications to the Cloud,




here are five of the

best reasons to consider

making the jump




1. Spend Less Time on

Technology,

More Time on Your Business




• Managing and controlling

access by employees

whether in the office

or remotely




• The cost of managing and

maintaining a backup

system for client files




• The cost and effort of

dealing with upgrades




2. Share Files with Your Clients

Online, Empower Them

to Be More Organized




Instead of having to travel to a

client’s location, you can have

a conversation with them,

collaborate on their ongoing

financial data in the cloud,




and save in-person meetings

for when it is really necessary




• Take a photograph

of receipts with their

smartphone and upload

them to their accounting app




• For contractors or

service related businesses,

accurate time logs can be

kept and billing can be

done accordingly




3. Managed Effectively, Cloud

is a More Secure Choice




Should an employee leave

your firm, turning off their

access to firm data can be

managed efficiently as well




Cloud vendors have much

deeper pockets for firewalls,

Intrusion Prevention Systems,

and other network security




4. Software Interoperability

is Getting Easier with

Cloud Services




Instead of trying to patch

together your email with your

accounting software, or your

invoicing system with your

document management

software,




web services plugins

can “snap together”

complementary systems

with secure, reliable interfaces




5. Cloud Accounting Solutions

have Lower TCO than

On-Premise Software




Even over a long term period,

cloud subscriptions are more

affordable




when all of the hardware, utility,

software license, maintenance,

and productivity costs are

taken into consideration




Online is ultimately the

evolution for most accounting

software companies,




so being proactive

as opposed to reactive

is definitely the way to go




Are you still unsure as to

whether a move to the Cloud

is right for your firm?
