Over the past two decades, the financial and accounting software solution market has witnessed numerous changes. One of the most significant changes is the cloud-based offering of accounting software solutions.

• The accounting software solutions streamline the accounting process, save time, and ensure an error-free transaction between the companies and clients. These systems are designed to increase productivity by archiving, automating, and integrating human resource systems. Implementing accounting software across SMEs helps reduce errors from dealings with clients and companies, thereby improving relationships and reputations while ensuring time to focus on the core business idea.
• The increasing trend of small and medium enterprises collaborating with e-commerce players and integrating with other online applications, such as automated bank feeds and automated billing features, is expected to further drive the adoption of accounting software during the forecast period. It helps increase efficiency, keeping track of all the accounting transactions and managing the money flowing in and out of business. The software has also become a better solution for managing a company's accounts. It can easily manage account payables, account receivables, business payroll, general ledger, and other business modules.
• The market has seen a significant share of vendors with accounting at the core, leveraging the cloud's cost benefits. Additionally, they have been targeting the ever niche "micro and small and medium" businesses. One of the notable strategies exhibited by these new accounting software entrants is the inclusion of advanced features, such as artificial intelligence, for applications, such as planning, learning, problem-solving, and speech recognition.
• For instance, an Australia-based tax, accounting, and other business services software provider's solution, MYOB Advisor, gives natural descriptions of a business's financial position. Accountants and bookkeepers can customize the report based on their SME client's knowledge and experience. Moreover, the insights provided by MYOB Advisor include visualization of cash flow that enables the advisor to help their client see where their cash is going or give a view of top customers and help clients better manage their high-value relationships.
• Also, many companies are extending their partnership programs to increase their market share. Hence, in March 2022, GTreasury has announced a partnership with Infor. Built on the Azure platform, GTreasury will provide Infor customers with a comprehensive Treasury solution that includes cash management, payments, debt and investment management, risk and exposure management, hedge accounting, and reporting functionality that includes dashboards. The acquisition will combine the data from Infor with GTreasury features, enabling Infor customers to handle cash management better.
• Moreover, as multiple countries worldwide have faced the challenge of dealing with the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown, more businesses, tiny businesses, have been working remotely. This has increased the demand for more dynamic and remote access to the business financial records and systems by the individuals who need to work on them and those who must access this timely information accurately to make decisions to manage the financial affairs.
