Cloud Apps

Applications helping you get the most out of your cloud accounting system

Cloud accounting apps to provide time and money saving solutions.

This is an expanding area of technology with new cloud accounting apps coming on-line all the time and existing apps changing to offer new services and solutions. Cloud accounting apps aim to save you time and money by offering many services - everything from data-capture, syncing with your bank account and on-line suppliers, expenses management, credit control, financial analysis ....

In addition to the cloud accounting systems, Wood and Disney are experts in many cloud accounting apps and use many apps to manage our own business, saving us both time and money:

However, unlike our competitors who will say that Xero or QuickBooks is central to their firm’s infrastructure we believe they are just tools to aid efficiency. The real centre of our firm is People. Our clients and our team. Without them we wouldn’t exist. But as people we are fallible and we cannot remember everything so our key system surrounding us in a protective bubble is our practice management system which reminds us of all the tasks we need to do to keep our clients and team organised, up to date and happy.

There are many apps which could help you save time and money managing your business. Below are some of the most popular apps available today. The list is far from exhaustive and is ever-changing, so do contact us for the latest information on cloud accounting apps.

If you have a specific, bespoke problem or require a unique solution, Wood and Disney have contacts with software companies that can develop an app specifically to provide a solution for your business. Again, contact us and we can discuss the best course of action for your business.

Receipt, invoice and data management apps

Make annoying receipts and data entry go away

Keeping records of transactions is one of the great pains of small business ownership. Holding on to physical bills and receipts only adds to the trouble. It’s such a chore that most business owners put off doing their books until a mad rush at the end of each financial year.

Smart accounting technology makes it easy for you to upload bills and receipts using your desktop, mobile device, email or scanner – giving you access to the documents you need, when you need them. The software reads the picture, transcribes the purchase data, and sends it into your accounting software.

Payment System Apps

Apps that get you paid faster

Good payment systems can double the speed at which bills are paid.

Point-of-sale apps turn a smartphone or tablet into a portable cash register, which can be a really inexpensive way to start selling. These systems also allow staff to go and serve customers where they are, rather than creating a bottleneck at the counter.

Invoices are just about always paid late. But when they go out with instant payment options like GoCardless, Stripe, credit card, or online payment, accounts are settled faster. In some cases, money comes in twice as quickly.

Three alternative apps are shown below - online, offline and direct debit.

Online debit and credit card payments

Get paid up to 14 days faster, and reconcile payments easily. You can also set recurring payments for repeat customers with auto pay. Stripe offers fraud protection tools powered by advanced machine learning algorithms to help you detect and prevent fraud.
