Accounting can be a tricky bridge to cross if you don’t have the right mindset, as well as the right tools. Fortunately, efficiency is also at the core of Xero’s functionality. As such, users can use this nifty platform to obtain an overview of company expenditure, such as bills and expenses.
The accounting element is also impressive, allowing users to upload transactions easily, which are then managed within the Xero database.
QuickBooks Online
If you enjoy interfaces that are a joy to look at, then you will love the outlay of Quickbooks Online. Transactions can be easily uploaded, and due to the calming pastel colours used, users will find that they are able to pinpoint important information with a few simple clicks. Even sending a client a professional invoice is something of a breeze.
FreeAgent
As you may have noticed, there are a number of accounting apps available, but not all of them account for one important factor of running a business, and that’s chasing payments. While it’s never an enjoyable job, FreeAgent is a platform that is able to give you information about outstanding payments with ease.
Add to this to other features, such as invoicing customers and tracking expenses, then you have a platform that is able to deal with the trickiest of accounting scenarios.
Nutcache
Nutcache is another online app that makes the tracking of expenses and online payments are pure breeze. But another weapon in its arsenal is the ability to manage your time and communicate with clients on a global scale.

Another simple accounting app that offers a simple platform that can be used in partnership with other Zoho business apps. Regardless of whether you need a tax report, or just want to send an invoice, Zoho Books is a tool that can be used more or less straight away.
Sage One
Let’s be honest, even with the best accounting app in the world, the finances of any business can still be something of a laborious task. Or it would be, if not for Sage One. As well as offering the features of many other apps, Sage One takes it up a notch by automatically crunching the numbers where possible. This means that you have more time to invest elsewhere in the business.
