One of the major benefits of using accounting software is quite simply the ability to speed up a range of business processes, an expert has explained.

Malcolm Trotter, chief executive of the International Association of Book-keepers, said the potential to carry out and complete tasks faster than ever before is one of the key attractions of the technology.

He compared it favourably to manually dealing with invoices and adhering to regulations on recording information.

The industry chief admitted the only obstacle is the installation process, but this is only a minor barrier on the path to success.

"Once [businesses] get over that hurdle, the benefits immediately kick in. Speed is one of the benefits and easy access once you have entered the system," Mr Trotter stated.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation recently painted a positive picture for the outlook of the accounting sector in 2012, suggesting many companies will be in a position to take on more staff.
