Books are the best friends of any Chartered Accountant. But, let’s admit it. Without Excel or Microsoft Office, our professional WORK is JUST NOT DONE.

So, the next time you are running late on your professional work, carry the app in your pockets with ease.

There are two types of people in the world: those who have never heard of Slack, and those who can’t imagine life without it. Slack is an innovative platform for all team communication. Aesthically pleasing and easy to use, the app also boasts of integration with a dozen other tools such as Google Hangouts, Dropbox etc to facilitate team communication. And trust us, Slack would change the way your team communicates.

The application nails the practical purposes in every possible way one can imagine. With numerous customization options and business friendly features, it is the one stop for all accounting needs.

A lot has been discussed about cloud computing in the CA curriculum. Yet, many CA offices face the vulnerability of data loss due to local storage, sabotage etc. Dropbox is the professional cloud storage for all our storage needs. It is secure, easily accessible, backed with an excellent code for syncing and remains the industry best for its ease of sharing files on the cloud.

8Call Recorder – ACR

More often than not, too many culprits and celebrities…oops…are dropped off all criminal charges due to lack of evidence. Just the way, the justice system works, the audit world lives on proofs and evidences. And none other Chartered accountants and lawyers hear the awfully most number of half truths. The call recorder acts as a good defence by recording trivial phone calls. Also a great life saver at times.

9Camscanner

CamScanner converts your smartphone into a mini scanner. It utilizes the phone’s camera to quickly scan documents, receipts, business cards etc and converts them into file formats of our choice. The app optimizes scan quality with its crop and enhance feature, which is also why the app stands out in the crowd. The scanned document is also made easy to share. If there is no scanner for proofing, this app comes in very handy for all professional purposes.
