Setup — Manage Bank Accounts

Cloud Accounting Software enables you to connect to, and retrieve, bank feeds from your bank accounts and also PayPal – which is a great way to setup credit card merchant services. This is one of the fantastic features of cloud-based accounting software because it saves a considerable amount of time and effort getting bank account information into your accounting software.

Once the bank account information (real world) is in your accounting software you can then quickly perform a bank reconciliation. Once the bank reconciliation is completed, you can obtain all of the important reports that demonstrate how the business is travelling.
