PS You don’t need to have your file in the cloud to get bank feeds. Some users prefer to have their file on a local pc or network drive and backup daily to a cloud service. With AccountRight you have that option. Note that speed varies tremendously between sites and at certain times of the day. If the speed is driving you to drink then contact us so we can advise.
