Putting accounting software online has many attractions for both accountants and business owners, and there are ways of making sure your data is secure.

Online accounting systems are simpler to operate than the desktop versions, andoffer greater flexibility for both accountants and their business clients. So says Gavin Dixon of Reckon Online, who sees gains in productivity for all concerned as they're able to access the books while away from the office and to deal collaboratively with third parties like contractors. There's no capital outlay involved, and online services - paid for by subscription - can be scaled to the growth of the business. For security, it's important to know where your data is being stored and how reliable is your provider. Reckon believes it has the answers to both those questions.
