This blog is part of a miniseries exploring the basics of cloud accounting. In this installment, we discuss how a cloud accounting solution can fit the unique needs of various industries.
Every small business operates differently, and each industry calls for a different set of financial tools and features. Fortunately, customizing services to meet the unique needs of your business is our specialty, and this begins from having a strong understanding of what each business needs.
In today’s blog we discuss two industries - Information Technology and Real Estate, and explore some of the features a cloud accounting platform offers to support each industry’s needs. Whether you are a freelancer or sole proprietor just starting out, or the manager of a small or medium sized company, YAC offers a scalable solution to best fit your needs.

Information Technology
As a business in the Information Technology sector, you are already familiar with the constant need to stay ahead of today’s rapidly developing technologies. We share that goal. We also know you require flexibility - the tools of your trade change and develop so rapidly that without it, it is easy to fall behind.
We developed Your Accounting Cloud with this flexibility in mind, allowing you to select which tools you wish to use, and how hands on you want to be: let us handle everything or take a more active role. Either way, you work through a digital platform which seamlessly integrates with your favorite productivity apps. Behind the scenes, we are constantly working on growing and developing the platform, so you can be sure you always access the latest features on the market.
This flexibility also extends to how you work with clients. For example, we know your day-to-day activities include invoicing clients, sometimes across provinces or even internationally. We help handle your transactions with a multi-currency support platform. We look after your invoices to ensure all transactions adhere to tax regulations, and support tax reporting based on your business’ reporting window, whether annual, quarterly, or otherwise.
Growing your business
The flexibility of the YAC model allows it to grow alongside your business. We work with you to help form a salary budget for you and anyone else involved in your business, and you can easily extend your plan to support payroll when the time comes. No matter which plan you choose, you always receive free access to QuickBooks alongside training and support to help you navigate the software quickly and effectively.
Most importantly, we provide tailored, expert consulting as accountants with over 15 years of experience. Whether you are looking to determine the best salary to take out, or deciding between leasing or financing, we can answer your financial and tax optimization questions as they arise, helping you make more informed decisions and act with confidence.
Real Estate
Real Estate agents wear multiple hats - marketing, branding, generating leads, sales, and more. Managing your budget can be a time-consuming endeavour which makes focusing on other, more important aspects of your business near impossible. Yet,having your finances in order is vital to succeeding in real estate.
Using a cloud accounting platform makes organizing and handling your business finances easy, quick, and (mostly) automatic.
YAC scales with your business, making tracking new revenue streams and new expenses easy and intuitive. We moderate your transactions to ensure accuracy, and check-in with you whenever we notice something is off - freeing you to focus on the other aspects of your business.
Monitoring transactions throughout the year is also a huge help when it comes to taxes. We are here to make the tax filing process smooth and painless. Our team of CPA-certified accountants knows what is deductible and what is a liability, eliminating the hassle and worry of misfilings or any other issues.
Operating at your pace
You get to choose how involved we are in your finances. Depending on your plan, YAC can handle some or all of the budget-related tasks for your business, including:
We know real estate is not a nine-to-five workday, and we are here to support that. We are constantly working on growing our information database and FAQ section, so that you can always get the answers you need.
Staying on top of changing regulations
Keeping pace with the fast changing federal and provincial regulations is vital to any business’s smooth operations.
We make it a priority to know and implement the latest regulations in all our work, and always keep you in the loop on any changes affecting your business.
