Access AnywhereIf you have access to the internet then you have access to your accounts. You can use many different devices such as iPads, iPhones and Blackberries to check information while on the go. You can also pass on your details to your accountant and both look your data simultaneously. By inviting them to be a user, your accountant can make amendments and print reports from their computer.
