      Software and Training FAQs

      • What accountancy software do you recommend for my business?
        • The right software depends on the size of your business, how you manage your finances, and what you need it to do day to day. We assess your requirements before making any recommendation, rather than pointing every client towards the same product. Watson Associates is a Xero Platinum Partner, and for many of our clients Xero is an excellent fit, but we will always recommend the solution that suits your specific situation.

      • What does cloud accounting software actually mean in practice?
        • Cloud accounting means your financial data is stored and processed online rather than on a local computer or server. In practical terms, it means you can log in from any device, your figures are always current, and your accountant can see exactly what you see without waiting for files to be sent back and forth. It also removes the need to install software updates manually, as these happen automatically in the background.

      • What kind of training do you provide?
        • Our training is practical and tailored to the people receiving it. We do not deliver one-size-fits-all sessions. Instead, we look at the software you are using, the tasks your team needs to carry out, and the level of experience already in the room, and we build the training around that. Sessions can be delivered at your premises or remotely, depending on what works best for you.
