Companies have been advised to ensure they are operating with the right accounting software if they wish to maintain their efficiency.

Accountancy expert Rhys Roberts has highlighted the potential problems of using outdated financial software by noting that doing so can stop companies from gaining quick access to vital information.

In an advice piece for business community Flying Solo, he stated that poor accounting systems can often lack relevant functionality and security measures, requiring major time investments and opening up firms to various risks.

Mr Roberts also warned that inappropriate accounting software could develop performance issues over time and become prone to errors or failures.

"Using the wrong accounting software can reduce the efficiency of your business, increase your operating costs and make controlling your operations more difficult," he said.

Earlier this month, business author Gwen Moran told Entrepreneur magazine that choosing the right accounting software solution is among the most important investments small business owners can make.
