As the world of technology moves software providers are making improvements to enhance the effectiveness of their solutions and keep pace with the way business owners work. Accounting software is also of no exception here. Introducing cloud-based solutions that are easier to maintain, advanced accounting automation features are some of the modern trends for 2022.

Unlike the traditional on-premises solutions that require expensive hardware, hosting, ongoing updates, and a dedicated IT to maintain it all, software-as-a-service (SaaS) has become the clear choice for growing companies. Accounting solutions with SaaS providers release updates more frequently and automatically, and they include these updates in their subscription costs. This eliminates the need for large upfront capital costs as well. Meanwhile, accounting automation software creates greater efficiency by eliminating manual tasks enabling accountants to focus more on unpacking financial insights, rather than becoming bogged down. From invoice approval processes to inputting sales data, automated accounting software features are expected to become more robust.

As the accounting software solutions space is filled with noise, businesses are finding it a tough task to figure out the right solution provider for their unique accounting needs. This is where Enterprise Viewpoint Magazine is creating a difference with our special edition on Accounting Software Solution Providers 2022. Here we’ve created a list of some of the top and innovative accounting solution providers who are creating a difference in the industry.
