Abstract

This qualitative case study examined the opportunities and challenges of cloud accounting among work-from-home accountants in Olongapo City, extending the Resource-Based View by conceptualizing cloud accounting as a strategic digital resource within a work-from-home context. Using snowball sampling, semi-structured interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicated that cloud accounting enhanced efficiency, flexibility, global work opportunities, and work–life balance. However, system instability, connectivity or power failure, communication complications for clients from foreign countries along with other operational and technological constraints, were identified among the issues for these professionals.
