In terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/\">accounting software<\/a>, a new solution, Big Red Cloud is leading the way in delivering a comprehensive Cloud system that\u2019s proving a big winner for Bookkeepers across the UK and Ireland. While it carries out all the traditional functions you\u2019d expect from a robust bookkeeping package, the fact that it\u2019s in the Cloud \u2013 accessible remotely \u2013 adds a whole set of benefits;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Business managers can access their books from any location where the internet is available and on almost any device &#8211; making your accounts just as mobile as you are. It also means vital business information is accessible on a timely basis \u2013 just when you need it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s extremely easy to upload accounting information into the system. However the benefit of an online and cloud based solution means that this process can be integrated into work practices by the staff at the client company &#8211; so there is no necessity for you the book-keeper to upload accounts information into a separate system. This is more efficient for the business and the Bookkeeper.<\/li>\n<li>Professional Telephone Technical Support is a luxury that many accounting packages just don\u2019t deliver &#8211; either because the service is poor, it\u2019s too expensive or it\u2019s simply not an option. BigRedCloud recognises that businesses and bookkeepers might have some natural reticence about switching to a cloud based system so every form of support is available to customers, free of charge. The telephone support centre is already renowned for its responsiveness and expertise and the team is more than happy to answer queries. Further support is also available by email and live chat \u2013 keeping up with you on the move if necessary!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What About Security?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Security is a top priority for anyone working with accounts. Big Red Cloud has taken every possible step to satisfy customers in this respect and given the nature of the service, this is a critical aspect of the cloud accounting package.<\/p>\n<p>First-up the data is encrypted using SSL so accounts information can be securely transferred between business users and accountants. It\u2019s impossible to use the system without this encryption.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly the company does regular security testing and it uses third party specialists to review the set-up, look for any vulnerability and to make sure that any new concerns on the horizon are dealt with well before they could have any possible impact. This pro-active managed approach represents best-practice in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The backing up of information is integral to a cloud system and this process is wholly robust and proven.<\/p>\n<p>The company also performs security tests from within the application to make sure no privacy issues or data leakage can occur. BigRedCloud also complies with the relevant regulatory authorities in the UK and Ireland in relation to data protection regulations.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s the Bottom Line?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Pricing on the system is done on a monthly basis, per user. It starts at just \u00a320 per month \u2013 making it a prety compelling option given all the advantages. Marc O&#8217;Dwyer, CEO of Big Red Book, the company that has launched Big Red Cloud, says\u00a0 \u201cWhen you do the sums \u2013 and we\u2019re all in that business \u2013 Big Red Cloud is more efficient than any other system out there in the marketplace. It saves the bookkeeper time and the business money \u2013 it\u2019s a win-win.\u201d And the great news is its \u201c<b>FREE\u201d <\/b>\u00a0for Bookkeepers (terms and conditions apply)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.com\/makes-good-accounting-software-accountants\/\">What makes good accounting software for accountants<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Free Trial\" href=\"https:\/\/bigredcloud.co.uk\/30-day-free-trial\/\">Click here for a free trial<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What can Cloud Accounting Software do for your Clients Business?
