  1. Heading 1 (Arial bold - point size 22) My Business Online Accountants’ & Bookkeepers’ Day 27 June 2013 Tweet us! @PastelAccounts #accountantsday

  2. What is Cloud Computing? • “A single view of the truth” – Charles Teversham 2013 Tweet us! @PastelAccounts #accountantsday

  3. What is Cloud Accounting? • Accounting software that runs over the internet updating data stored on the internet. • No software is installed at either your client or your offices – you merely “sign up” and create your set of books. • All users access the same data usingthe same version of the software. • It’s the latest wave in technology providing a “win,win” scenario to both your practice and your clients business. Tweet us! @PastelAccounts #accountantsday

  4. Access to the same data!Why is this important? • No delays – work whenever you want to from wherever you want. • No synchronisation of data. • No need for backing up and restoring of the client’s data. • Reporting is always consistent - everyone accesses the same data which avoids confusion – there’s only “one version of the truth”. • Multi-user functionality allows the accountant and the business to work on the same data at the same time! • Its just so much more efficient and provides the platform to operate in a more connected world where a single view of the data is imperative.

  5. Why should I use it? • The Accountants Console provides a single view of all you clients. • Client now has access to high quality, up to date information. • Empower your clients and grow their business through new added value functionality. • You now have more time to move to high value consulting. • By increasing your own efficiency, you increase your capacity to take on more clients. • Its the most fundamental shift in technology in the past 20 years! • Pastel has used all their experience gained over this period to develop a totally new and exciting way for your clients to manage their businesses in a collaborative way with their accountants. • The “on-line” accounting trend has gained huge momentum internationally.Why ? – Its efficient, its value add, its fun, it works! Don’t miss out! Tweet us! @PastelAccounts #accountantsday

  8. A mind shift… • Change the behaviour of your client. • Change your behaviour. • Bill for value added services rather than time spent capturing data. • Client intimacy allows you to provide more relevant and constructive input into your client’s business. • On-going communication establishes trust and provides an opportunity to up-sell additional services. • Very important! Change from offering low value, to offering high value services. Tweet us! @PastelAccounts #accountantsday

  10. A typicalMy Business Online client • Progressive and forward thinking - they are aware of the “latest” technologies out there and the ease of use associated with these technologies. • They in turn want a progressive accountant. • They want to be more informed. • Admin is simply a frustration to them - they want to save time - don’t want to have to meet in person, on the move.
