Access Dimensions is now Access Financials

Today’s software is no longer just for your finance department. A wide range of people need to enter and approve information such as timesheets, purchase orders and expenses, subject to tight control and approval.

Access Dimensions has been our leading on-premise accounting solution. The software has evolved into a cloud-based solution, giving you top security and allowing you to access all your data on any device, anywhere. This new cloud-based solution is Access Financials.

When your database is migrated, your users are invited to this new cloud-based environment. The new system is easier to manage as it removes the need to maintain costly on-premise servers.
