A great point on the security aspects of the cloud but I want to focus on the other portions. This is where there is a tremendous opportunity for small businesses everywhere. Despite what us bookkeepers think small business tend not to revolve around bookkeeping and accounting processes. The opportunity lies in not only the clouding bookkeeping and accounting but also within business operations themselves... and then integrating that with cloud bookkeeping and accounting making the whole workflow seamless.

Victoria's comment is great... but I'm going to take it a step further. If you aren't willing to makes changes your accounting are you doing the same with your business operationally? If you aren't adapting operationally what is the plan to survive in the current, ever changing marketplace?

Bookkeeping & Accounting is something every business has to deal with regardless of industry, type or structure and it isn't a revenue centre. That means any costs saved are direct and any opportunity can be direct to a revenue centre for growth opportunities.
