he Future is Up in the Cloud

There is no denying that the future of the technology is in the cloud. For most businesses, the question is no longer whether it is appropriate to adopt cloud services, but rather when is the right time and what services to move and which applications to use. Meanwhile, early cloud adopters should be reviewing their online solution to ensure they are getting best value and optimum service, as cloud providers are constantly developing and updating their offerings.

Technological change has an overwhelming impact on the accounting industry too. It has created a new generation of accountants that have shifted beyond offering basic bookkeeping and tax compliance services, towards contributing sound business advice and referring cloud-based technology solutions.

“Now that global SMEs trust the internet to run their business, we are seeing a growth in the adoption of cloud component solutions. Now, businesses can have five or more integrated apps as part of their business solution. Generally business owners don’t know where to start when assessing what to use; they need help.”

There is a growing demand among business owners for technology to help them understand their business in real-time. Opportunity awaits accountancy firms who can offer a range of services that help clients make better business decisions. Progressive partnerships between businesses and accountants that embrace the opportunities cloud-based services means staying one step ahead of the competition.

Unleashed seamlessly integrates with many other cloud-based applications such as Xero, thereby allowing accountants to advise clients on an end-to-end business solution. This is particularly useful for accountancy practices whose customers include manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers looking for more detailed information to manage inventory.

“Unleashed has worked alongside Xero from the beginning, we have learnt from the mutual partnerships formed with global advisory firms and accountants. As the adoption and delivery of cloud solutions evolve, so must the approach to helping your clients.”

A New Era of Accountancy

Unleashed recognises that advisory firms might have a client in need of a software, but either do not have the time or the expertise to scope and implement an application. In response to that, we have introduced a partner programme that helps accountancy firms achieve revenue growth through a focus on client advisory services. This allows accountants to stay one step ahead of the competition by being a trusted business adviser.

Unleashed Software’s new Referral Partner Programme is for accountancy practices seeking to develop their advisory services. Our new programme enables accountancy firms to gain a competitive edge by providing clients with advice on optimising their inventory processes via the Unleashed Software platform. As Referral Partners, accountants will be knowledgeable about how Unleashed fits into the SaaS ecosystem so they can inform potential clients on the benefits of cloud software.
