Cloud software for accounts

[Sanke]

Hi all
I have spent the weekend trying to evaluate what would be the best accounting / CRM / payroll software for me. Current favourite is Intuit but have also been looking at Xero, kashflow & really simple systems.

Anyone use these systems ? Any one come out favorite ?

Really depends what you need it to do in all honesty.

I've tried them and work from a lot of records kept where clients have used them.

My personal favourite is Accounts Portal I think its hard to beat but it does very much depend on what you need, and want, from a system.

My current favourite is Intuit Quicbooks online because of it's reporting facilities which are way better than, say, Kashflow. But it is a little harder to use. Swings and roundabouts really. As Kevin says, it really depends on what features you need. Best is to trial a few to make sure that you understand how they work and that they'll do what you need them to.

Intuit is top at the moment. We are a property services company. When I fist started there was just me. Now I have an apprentice (so require PAYE) & we also use subcontractors so have to do CIS payments reports etc. In order to help grow the business (main aim for 2015) we are looking for card payments & a simple but effective CRM (email marketing ?) etc

If you're going with Quickbooks online, if you buy it fairly soon, they're offering a massive 70% off so you can get Quickbooks Online Plus for £8.70/month

I'm looking at all 3 of these currently and I wonder whether you could expand on why you think the reporting facilities are better with Inuit ? I'm not saying they are not as I am not that far into my analysis but your expanding your point would help. Thanks

Is a cloud software secure? It seems that some other company stores all your data. Will they not share your private data?

Is banking not secure. It seems some other company stores all your money. Will they not share your private money?
