With our on-line accounting software, which is provided in conjunction with KashFlow Accounting Software, you can save time, be better organised and have a better insight into your financial position.  What's more, as your accountants we can access your records in real time to make adjustments, answer your questions and prepare annual accounts without interupting your use of the system.

We chose to work with KashFlow because their award winning software has been built with the small business in mind. We know that you want to spend your time on what you do, not struggling with complicated software trying to understand how it works.  Their online accounting software gives you everything you need; from Invoicing to cashflow management to VAT reports and everything else you need at your fingertips to keep your business running smoothly and you focused on doing what you do best - running your business.

  
A list of features of the package can be found at www.kashflow.co.uk/features.asp - the software is constantly being updated, but suffice to say here that it does pretty much all you could want from a small business accounting package and, if that wasn't enough, you get guaranteed daily off-site backups to keep your data secure.

The software is available on an annual subscription and can be accessed directly on a stand alone basis via the Kashflow Website, though Arkadia clients signing up via our Partner Program have the following advantages:

  • We have direct real time access to your data to assist with reporting and troubleshooting
  • A lower subscription rate than is available direct from Kashflow.
  • A no-obligation two month free trial to get used to the system
  • Hands on training available to introduce you to the system
  • A fixed subscription rate while you remain an Arkadia client (i.e. no price rises, subject to VAT rate changes).

Need a Web Presence?

Many businesses these days need a web presence, whether to actively sell, for a bit of extra marketing or just to tell the world a bit more about themselves. 

Even if you do not want to set up a website yet, using a personalised domain name in your e-mail address creates a far better inpression than a derivitave such as "@hotmail.com" or "@sky.co.uk". 

Getting a web domain and even hosting a website is not expensive and whilst you can spend hundreds on "off the shelf" websites or thousands on a purpose built site, this is not always necessary.  Our site was built using a free Website Builder tool provided with our web domain hosting package from 1&1, and hopefully you'll agree it does the job.  1&1 offer a full range of web solutions from basic domain hosting to full blown e-commerce sites and vertual servers.  They are not the only suppliers and may not be the best for your needs but we have had no problems over a number of years so if you would like more information feel free to click on the banner below (takes you to a third party site).
