Aside from our five clients, all others use cloud software. New ones do not have a choice in the matter.
Our bill for cloud software is over £800+VAT per month. This will go up due to price increases by the software provider. We were sucked in and now price increases. Not a beautiful position to be in.
In order to get clients on board for cloud accounting you need to point out all the benefits of doing so. There are so many benefits for both the accountant and client, but some people just need to have their eyes opened a little.
You will always get some that are reluctant to change, but with "Making Tax Digital" upon us, some businesses will end up with little choice. They need to think about changing thier ways.
I used to provide my clients with a bit of free training and this time spent paid for itself quickly. I wouldn't accept a new client unless they were prepared to use QuickBooks OnLine. I even said goodbye to a few because it was not cost effective for me to work on thier own desktop files.
I'm surprised anybody would pay £800 a month for cloud accounting software. I have wound my practice down while I concentrate on training and consultantcy. I had over 50 clients on QuickBooks OnLine and my monthly bill was not a third of that figure!
