As a tradie, hiring an experienced business accountant to help you navigate the complexities of good financial management is essential for the success of your business. What is even better is if your accountant uses cloud-based accounting to get it done.

At Infuse Advisors & Accountants, we use Xero to deliver a cloud-based accounting service in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula, giving our clients full access to their financials – any time, any place.

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of cloud-based accounting services:

Real-Time Financial Insights

One of the greatest benefits of having cloud-based accounting with Xero is that you can access your financial data around the clock, as long as you have an internet connection. Whether you are on a job site, on the road or at home, you can quickly check on your cash flow, track your expenses and assess your business’s financial health.

This ability to review your financial information in real-time makes it possible to make more informed decisions on the fly and helps you respond to unexpected expenses or cash flow shortages quickly before they escalate.

Improved Collaboration With Your Accountant

Having an accountant take care of your financials for you is a relief, but you want to be able to collaborate with them at a moment’s notice. A good accountant offers this kind of service through expedient communication.

Cloud-based platforms like Xero ensure you are both on the same page, as you are able to access and view the same up-to-date information, rather than having to exchange files via email or rely on outdated records.

This empowers you to quickly address financial concerns and receive timely, relevant guidance

Greater Efficiency

The efficiency that automation affords makes it possible to avoid many of the repetitive and time-consuming accounting administrative tasks that typically bog down a trade business. These include payroll, invoicing, processing and bank reconciliation, among others.

Cloud-based accounting can streamline your team’s workload, reducing the risk of errors and allowing your staff to focus on higher-value activities.

Improved Compliance

Remaining ahead of regulatory requirements is a challenge. Through a platform like Xero, you can simplify your compliance, keep your records better organised and up-to-date, and take advantage of the many tools that make it easy to generate reports and lodge returns, among other things.

Having an accountant who is familiar with Xero can ensure your business is up to speed on all the latest tax obligations, help you avoid penalties and take advantage of any tax-related benefits that might apply.
