Retail has transformed dramatically in the last decade—shifting from traditional cash registers and manual logbooks to omnichannel sales, digital payments, and real-time inventory systems.

That’s why retailers of all sizes are moving their financial operations from the counter to the cloud—and increasingly, to AI-powered accounting. With automation handling the heavy lifting, retail owners gain clearer insights, faster reporting, and the freedom to focus on customers rather than paperwork.
