Cloud Accounting Service in Malaysia
Why online accounting is good for business
So what is the cloud Accounting?
The cloud is a platform to make data and software accessible online anytime, anywhere, from any device.
You can use cloud-based software from any device with an internet connection. Online accounting means small business owners stay connected to their data and their accountants. The software can integrate with a whole ecosystem of add-ons. It’s scalable, cost-effective and easy to use.
In the cloud, the business owner no need to install and run applications over a desktop computer with limited device accessibility. Instead, you pay for the software by monthly subscription and use it anytime, anywhere with internet connection.

Problems With Traditional Accounting Software
- The data in the system isn’t up to date and neither is the software.
- It only works on one computer and data bounces from place to place. For example, on a USB drive. This is not secure or reliable.
- Only one person has user access. Key people can't access financial and customer details.
- It's costly and complicated to keep backups (if done at all).
- It's expensive, difficult and time consuming to upgrade the software.
- Customer support is expensive and slow.

Frequently asked Questions.
There are three pricing plans available:
- Starter: Suitable for contractors/freelancers who have a low number of monthly transactions — a maximum of 5 invoices, 5 bill payments, and 20 bank transactions.
- Standard: Suitable for most small businesses — unlimited monthly invoices, bill payments, and bank transactions.
- Premium: Includes support for multiple currencies.
Xero’s Starter plan comes in at a low $20 a month, and whilst this service is limited in terms of the number of invoices and payments you can send, for small businesses it still offers the same smart expense management and tracking, configurable reports, budgeting and unlimited users, as the more expensive plans.
If you need greater invoicing, billing or banking capabilities, the Standard plan, at $30 a month, totally exorcises those problems; the Premium plan upgrades your support for multiple currencies. The pricing table as below is for reference purpose only. Please refer to Xero Official Website for full pricing plan.
