Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Totally know what you mean with the “images” sticking out the billboard. You touch on something that’s really important.

Those are desperate times indeed! We need to change all of this. We need more cloud evangelists in the UK now. I'm looking forward to getting together when I'm back from Dreamforce, Steve.

I recently set up a VMware virtual machine on a beautiful new iMac just to run Sage. It felt dirty, but couldn't persuade my client to look beyond Sage mainly because they were familiar with it and their accountants demanded it. A Windows VM rather than just a web page, wrong, wrong, wrong!

Chris, I'd forgotten that - yes what a massive problem PC only! I agree that Kashflow lacks the design polish which is a real pity as it could brighten up the experience. I hadn't realised Crunch.co.uk had received investment - will have to add it to the review list!

The other – rather massive – problem with Sage is that it's not Mac compatible.

We're in the early days of KashFlow usage. It seems pretty neat, and takes the headache out of billing and accounting. My only gripe is that it's a bit ugly!

One to watch is Crunch.co.uk – word has it they've just had investment from those involved in setting up Skype. It's much more expensive, but they have a team of account handlers and accountants who deal with absolutely everything. (And it's much prettier than KashFlow.)

Absolutely. And theres much more than accounting software to do the side by side comparisons on too (file sharing, CRM, project management, productivity....). Too much noise out there, too much for people to understand and research, we can make it simpler for all :)

Steve - the feature comparison/review is going to take loads of time if done properly - shall we collaborate on it? I'll ping you when back in Suffolk.

I had a plan for that comparison too! Yes big problem with cloud is the privacy fear. I've shifted many businesses onto Dropbox and similar and its always when it comes to any finance related files they get really worried. Also you're right about accountants too and how the profession has become so dependant around a single piece of software, Sage. They like it that way, I don't.

Re: Why account in the Cloud?

Adrian Melrose — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 09:30:46 -0000

Steve, thanks, you're exactly right! The challenge is education and awareness but there are also a raft of issues why finance seems to be the last to be put into the cloud. What bugs me is that accountants tell their clients not to trust the cloud because the cloud threatens the accountants' current business model - they don't like self service and simple! Also changing any accounting package can be hard work even if it promises huge benefits - sometimes it just sits on the "don't fix what ain't broke" list and that's sheer apathy considering the enormous upside to moving to the loud. Thanks for the tipoff on brightpearl. Soon I hope to perform a cloud accounting vendor feature/capability comparison.

Great article. The problem now isn't the lack of great software/services but that not enough people know about them. A lot more small businesses would save bags of time and money from moving to the cloud for file backup, sharing, accounting and CRM. A subject close to my heart. I love freeagent and also brightpearl is another one on the move.
