Lockdowns, quarantines, and social distancing all caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic illustrated not just the need but the necessity for virtual banking services. Thanks to the tech and accounting experts, handling one’s business from the comfort of a home office became possible and helped millions of small businesses stay afloat.
