Accounting can get messy when not properly managed. Luckily, there are a number of cloud based and stand-alone software tools that are available to help you manage your accounts from your smartphone or tablet. This comes in handy since 81% of accountants now work on remote devices.

Arming your finance department with the latest apps and software available can save your accountant hours of time.

There are speciality apps that will allow you to work on business specific accounting, such as an app that tracks in-kind donations to be filed with your business’s taxes.  With so many to choose from, make sure to do your research to choose one that fits your needs. While some apps and software are free to their users, it may be worth the small investment to pay for a service that is more targeted towards your business’s needs.
