Simply Accounts six years ago in 2012 many other developers were moving over to the ‘Cloud’. Although there can be advantages to a remote server solution to the accounting needs of some businesses, they feel the 'desktop' environment provides the flexibility of working anywhere and not reliant on an internet connection. The only time you need a connection to the internet is to submit VAT or MTD Returns and to receive software updates from Simply Accounts and import banking data. You remain in control of your data and not subject to third party issues with either access to or maintenance on a remote server controlled by others. Simply Accounts is a mature product enjoyed by many and suitable for most at an affordable price.
