Just wondering if anyone actually uses any of the online software packages in their work? I've had a look at a few - SageOne, KashFlow, Clear Books and Freeagent but they really don't have the functionality that I'm looking for to be able to use when bookkeeping for my clients. Has anyone any suggest...

When doing the whole payroll process for a client how does this differ to doing payroll in a workplace? Do you give the client copies of the reports each week, each month? What information does the client give to you? Also do you actually pay the wages using the likes of autopay? Or do you just go up to that...
