Course Description

Cloud computing accounting applications are quickly usurping the role of traditional premise-based accounting software. According to a 2010 AICPA-sponsored survey of over 1000 U.S.-based accounting firms, 70 percent of respondents planned to increase their use of cloud services within an 18- month window. A number of business analysts actually predict the demise of premise-based software; however, security concerns continue to delay complete adoption of cloud technologies. Data safety concerns aside, clearly the world is changing. With a projected growth of $148.8 billion through 2014, cloud computing isn't a fad - it's here to stay - and doing your accounting "in the cloud" is quickly becoming the new normal for many small businesses. So what does this mean for CPAs? Join Scott Zandbergen, Vice President of New Products and Professional Network Development at Wave Accounting, for this in-depth webinar to gain a better understanding of cloud based accounting for small businesses.
