Real-time access to you accounts

With cloud accounting software like FreeAgent, Xero, or QuickBooks, you can access your finances from anywhere - on your phone, laptop, or tablet.

You don’t need to wait for your accountant to send over a spreadsheet. You’ll always know:

• How much you’ve invoiced

• What’s outstanding

• What’s coming in or going out

• Where you stand with HMRC

At Go Cloud Accounting, we help you get started with cloud accounting from day one, so you’re always in control.

Less admin, more automation

Cloud platforms link to your business bank account and automatically pull in your transactions. You can set up rules to categorise your spending, match payments to invoices, and even send automated reminders to late-paying clients.

That means fewer hours spent chasing receipts and more time running your business (or taking the night off).

We help our clients set this up properly so the whole process runs in the background while they focus on running the business.

Easier year-end and tax returns

Because your data is already tidy and up to date, preparing accounts and filing tax returns becomes much easier, especially under Making Tax Digital.

Go Cloud Accounting uses this data to produce your accounts, handle your returns, and keep your records compliant with HMRC requirements - no chasing paperwork, no nasty surprises.

Better Accuracy and Fewer Errors

Manual data entry is a recipe for mistakes. Cloud platforms reduce that risk by pulling in data directly from your bank and syncing transactions automatically. This keeps your records cleaner and your submissions to HMRC more reliable.

Better decision-making

Real-time reports let you see how your business is doing at a glance. Whether you’re planning to hire, invest, or cut back - you can base your decisions on up-to-date numbers.

We use this data to offer advice during the year, not just at year-end. It’s how we help our clients make smart moves at the right time.

Scalable and affordable

Whether you’re a sole trader or growing a team, cloud accounting can scale with you. Need to add payroll or VAT tracking? Most platforms offer these as simple add-ons.

We tailor your software setup to match your business size, industry, and budget - and we’ll keep it flexible as things evolve.

Cloud accounting isn’t a gimmick - it’s the standard now. If you want to spend less time doing admin and more time running your business, switching to the cloud is a no-brainer.

Go Cloud Accounting makes the switch simple. Let us set you up, show you how it works, and keep everything ticking over with expert support.
