Online Bookkeeping Services

Online Bookkeeping Services allow source documents and data to reside in web-based applications which allow remote access for Bookkeepers and Accountants. All entries made into the online software are recorded and stored in a remote location. The online software can be accessed securely from any location in the world and allows the Bookkeeper or data entry officer to work from any location that has a suitable data communications link.

These services can generally be divided into three basic types:

1. Web based:The software is hosted on a web server on the internet, and the user accesses the software via their web browser. These types of services are known as web based Online Bookkeeping Services.

2. Application Server Provider (ASP) Hosted: In these types of Bookkeeping Services, the standard desktop accounting software is run on a remote server, and then the user accesses a live terminal session (or remote desktop). For Windows, this is referred to as “Terminal Services” and the user would see a normal Windows desktop with their software installed. The only difference is that the Windows session is running on the remote machine instead of the user’s computer. Often, the hosting is provided by a specialist hosting company and the accounting/bookkeeping is done by another.

3. Remote Access: The software is hosted at the client’s premises and accessed remotely via the bookkeeping services provider. This is the model that Online Bookkeeping Services use.
