Cloud computing accounting applications are quickly usurping the role of traditional premise-based accounting software. According to a 2010 AICPA-sponsored survey of over 1000 U.S.-based accounting firms, 70 percent of respondents planned to increase their use of cloud services within an 18- month window. A number of business analysts actually predict the demise of premise-based software; however, security concerns continue to delay complete adoption of cloud technologies. Data safety concerns aside, clearly the world is changing. With a projected growth of $148.8 billion through 2014, cloud computing isn't a fad - it's here to stay - and doing your accounting "in the cloud" is quickly becoming the new normal for many small businesses. So what does this mean for CPAs?
