Virtual Financial Accounting Services V/s DIY Accounting Software

Some confusion and lack of clarity prevails about the role and benefits of virtual financial accounting services, and how it can be more beneficial or make life simpler for SMBs as compared to do-it-yourself accounting software.

First of all it is important to remember that unlike DIY accounting software, virtual accounting is carried out by real, professional controllers/bookkeepers, who are qualified and QuickBooks certified. You do not have computers handling your finances and accounts, nor do you have to track them online yourself.

Virtual financial controllers such as those provided by outsourced financial accounting service providers, such as Accelcia Controllership Services carry out these very crucial business financial accounting services with utmost professionalism, confidentiality and accuracy.

If you have struggled with online do-it-yourself accounting software in the past, you are not alone. Many new businesses who try to self-manage their financial accounting using these internet based do-it-yourself accounting systems, find them to be confusing, complicated and lacking the human intelligence that is required for understanding complex numbers and financial heads. In such a case one might not wish to continue further with any such online accounting systems.

However, it is important to remember that although both conduct financial accounting online; virtual financial accounting services are NOT the same as do-it-yourself accounting software.

Virtual financial accounting services have many advantages over do-it-yourself accounting software.  In this case "virtual" simple means that although your financial controller works from a different location or region as you, you are in constant communication with him/her via phone, email or instant messenger. You will find that your virtual controller is always available and easy to get in touch with, maybe even more so than other in-house employees.

Virtual accounting services also means that all your accounting and bookkeeping files become paperless and are maintained as well as transferred in completely digital format. Apart from being "green" or environment friendly, there is an added security benefit from being digital.  The fact that these accounting files are remote/ cloud hosted on Accelcia's secure servers reduces the chances for any unwanted leaking. Another big advantage of using virtual financial accounting services, such as those provided by Accelcia Controllership Services is portability and accessibility. You can easily access your books and accounts online from anywhere- using a laptop, computer or even a smartphone.
