On the 5th of November 2019, I arrived at Heathrow Airport ready to fly to San Jose, California with Oliver Maitland and Paul Surtees, co-founders of Capitalise, a business loan funding tool, that we partner with to ensure our clients have the best choices available when it comes to funding their small business plans.

Quickbooks Connect San Jose, takes place over 3 days with a variety of software vendors, speakers and updates from the Intuit team.

We chose Quickbooks Online as our preferred cloud accounting software over 3 years ago. In that time we have learnt the software inside out. Quickbooks Online is an incredibly intuitive software and very easy for clients to use. It also integrates with numerous apps (both free and paid for so check out the UK Quickbooks App Store page for more details here).

The conference was really good and catered for both accountants and business owners. It was great to get to know more about Capitalise from Ollie and Paul. Financing your business is daunting especially when you don’t even have a bank manager as most small businesses don’t. It can also be incredibly costly and hard to obtain for business owners, which is why going through your accountant who is partnered up with Capitalise, increases your chances of getting the right business finance for your business requirements.

If you want to see what rates the off the high street bank lenders can offer you, get in touch with us and we can help you with a Capitalise search.

Back in the UK, Quickbooks UK is rolling out exciting new features such as receipt capture and direct bank feeds to Challenger banks, such as Monzo and Revolut with others on the way soon. Quickbooks Online really can help you save time, get your accounts completed quicker and help you keep in control of your business finances.
