Accounting Software Selection
The decision of an accounting software selection should be made following consultation by a reputable firm of Chartered Accountants. There is no such thing as free accounting software. Even if the software has no acquisition cost, like most internet accounting packages for small businesses, it may simply not meet your needs or it may be too complicated for your line of business. Hence, even though you have not purchased it, it is still causing you or your auditor time and effort => it is costing you money to use or audit it!
In addition, our accounting fees for small businesses start from Euro 100 + VAT per month therefore in most cases it is simply not worth the business owners time to process invoices if the cost of outsourcing this service is so low and the benefit of focussing in generating new business is so great!
Software solutions like all products are designed to match specific audiences. Our experience today showed us that almost all free internet accounting software luck several essential elements which renders them inappropriate for Cyprus accounting needs.
Such shortfalls include:
- Poor credibility in their reporting, especially the accuracy of year end balances which are essential for the year end audit (such as debtors and creditors balances)
- Poor bank processing tools which is often too time consuming to process
- The entire software is based on cash accounting basis which is applicable in the USA instead of the accruals accounting basis, which is the accounting Law in Cyprus.
- Some are too complicated for simple line of business
As a firm, we recommend software solutions according to our client needs based on our knowledge of available tools in the market.
