Cloud Accounting Software: Is my financial data safe?

Cloud accounting software provides you with a more secure method of storing your financial data than traditional accounting software.  Storing critical data on your company laptop or computer could be lost or stolen, resulting in a data breach. However, with online accounting software, your data is stored on the cloud, and access to data is encrypted and password protected. Sharing data with cloud accounting is easy and secure. To access the company data you need access rights to the system with a unique password. Traditional accounting methods need a flash drive to share data, making it vulnerable for data to get lost or stolen. Lastly, the data stored on cloud accounting software can be retrieved in case of any damage or natural disaster. Cloud providers have back servers which means you can still access the data if one or more server is down.
