Of course there is more than one system on the market that meets these key criteria, but in our experience, Exact Online is the service that most effectively fits the bill. Having implemented this cloud accounting software for many customers, we have seen first-hand how it can impact on an organisation’s business processes, finances and profitability.
When considering switching financial accounting software, these are all common objections that we hear from organisations time and time again.
But why stay with a system that doesn’t work for you just because you are apprehensive about change? That’s what we call a false economy.
That’s also why Whitegate provide a range of different levels of service, offering as much or as little support with setup and implementation as well as data migration and transfer as you require. This ensures that the transition of both software and data is seamless.
In fact, with our Exact Online support and training you can be up and running from day one, with help and advice just a phone call away.
There’s no avoiding it. VAT returns need to be made online.
Unfortunately many of the accounting systems that claim to offer this service have been added as an afterthought, meaning that they don’t always integrate well with the original software and can be overly complex to use. And of course, every time you are forced to purchase an upgrade, there’s a cost involved.
With Exact Online, there are no additional costs because all the elements you could need are already included. Exact Online has MTD compliancy built in from scratch so it’s an integral part of the system – not an additional extra.
