If there’s one tool that all businesses need<\/a>, regardless of industry, it\u2019s accounting software. Keeping good books is a fundamental aspect of smart business operations. But it can be challenging for many businesses to know which software to use, let alone find an accounting solution that\u2019s always accessible and packed with important features.<\/p>\n

Managed service providers (MSPs)<\/a> can offer even more value to their clients by providing comprehensive, robust accounting software. An obvious option is QuickBooks<\/a>, which is arguably the best cloud-based accounting solution in the industry.<\/p>\n

Why customers love QuickBooks in the cloud<\/h2>\n

When it comes to accounting software, no application is more thorough and useful than QuickBooks Online. Customers love this software<\/a>, especially when it\u2019s accessible from virtually anyway via the cloud. There are lots of reasons for this.<\/p>\n

Business continuity and disaster recovery<\/h3>\n

For one, QuickBooks Online allows businesses to practice better continuity and disaster recovery<\/a>. No business can be 100% protected from crashes<\/a> or cyberattacks. But with QuickBooks in the cloud, businesses can rest assured that their vital accounting data\u2014as well as customers\u2019 personal or financial information\u2014will be kept safe and secure. The data will also be easily retrievable as their websites come back online.<\/p>\n

Business continuity is crucial for maintaining customer trust and rebuilding operations after a server crash. For MSPs, offering QuickBooks to customers<\/a> can accomplish both of these objectives and more.<\/p>\n

Data security<\/h3>\n

QuickBooks Online further offers increased data security<\/a> to your customers and clients. Simply put, MSPs can offer better business security to clients by using cloud-based applications, which are protected by regularly updated security measures like firewalls and malware detectors. Their systems are also regularly updated, preventing old security vulnerabilities from compromising business records or customer information.<\/p>\n

Accessibility<\/h3>\n

Of course, the primary benefit of any cloud application is accessibility. With QuickBooks in the cloud, you can provide your clients with real-world value; they\u2019ll be able to access their business books anywhere in the world so long as they have an internet connection.<\/p>\n

This enables them to check their finances on the go, plus do accounting work away from the office. On-demand accessibility is one of the hallmarks of QuickBooks Online, and it\u2019s a major benefit you can provide your clients when you start hosting this accounting software through your managed services business.<\/p>\n

Cost effectiveness<\/h3>\n

Lastly, QuickBooks Online provides greater cost-effectiveness to clients and customers. In some cases, tax savings alone more than covers the cost of QuickBooks itself. It also saves business owners massively in terms of time. Seen in this light, it\u2019s clear that your MSP could become more competitive and show clients real value by hosting QuickBooks Online.<\/p>\n

Why is QuickBooks the go-to choice?<\/h2>\n

There are lots of different accounting solutions to choose from. But once you host QuickBooks in the cloud, you\u2019ll find that your customers choose it again and again for three main benefits.<\/p>\n
