Accountancy isn’t for wimps. It’s one of the most demanding of all the professions. So how do you hit the ground running and earn yourself the sort of reputation that gets you tipped for the top?
You do it by being focused and owning your schedule.
To get ahead, you need to be in control . . . . the good news is there are lots of apps that can keep you on track.
Here are our top five.
Grammarly
You are a grand master of the balance sheet, a numerical Ninja, but you need to be just as good with words, if you are going to impress clients and your bosses. Avoid littering emails with embarrassing errors by running everything you write through this clever grammar checker before you hit send.
Farley Financial Dictionary
Accountancy has a language all of its own and some words are seldom used. But they all have a purpose and chances are you are going to have to blow the dust off some of the more obscure terms at some point: that’s when this app pays dividends. It can provide definitions to more than 26,000 words and terms related to banking, taxes, insurance, financial analysis and more.
Freedom
Do you start the day with the best intentions then find yourself checking who’s in the bunker at the Masters or what Kim Kardashian’s wearing today? Stop yourself before you go off-track by using Freedom to police your on-line activities. It lets you block distracting websites or even the entire internet if your willpower is wobbly.
HP 12c Financial Calculator (iPhone/iPad only)
Of all the calculator apps out there, this is rated one of the best for accountants. The HP 12c is used by accountants everywhere and the app delivers everything the desktop model provides. For Android users the RealCalc Scientific Calculator is equally efficient.
Time Out
Your brain definitely works better when you take regular breaks and Time Out prompts you to step away from your desk by dimming the screen at pre-set intervals. Use it and you won’t end the day with your shoulders up at your ears.
