This page in AlltheInterweb Directory is here to provide a list of handy websites where small businesses can obtain accounting software the manage their finances, more commonly done directly through the website these days instead of an actual software you install on your computer so it works even when your internet does not.
It is increasingly important to use accounting software these days instead of a more convetional accounts book such as the Simplex D and matching Simplex VAT records book, especially for small UK businesses with the arrival of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for reporting VAT returns to HMRC as the government now insists you report your returns through the accounting software instead of directly onto the HMRC website like you used to be able to.

It is still good to use a traditional accounts book in addition to accounting software or one of these account websites so that you have a hard copy back-up in the event something goes horribly wrong, or so you have an accurate set of figures to put into the accounting software later should your business activities keep you away from being able to access a computer you can easily do the accounts on for most of the day.
