Dropbox is a cloud-storage device, synching up content and allowing users to share this content between different computers. Accountants might use Dropbox to send and receive documents from your clients. No more need to wait for forms to arrive in the mail or faxes that get lost in transmission.

Accountants that love notetaking will enjoy Evernote. It’s a brilliant tool for creating documents, writing notes, recording a voice memo and even taking images. You can use it to store scanned documents like travel itineraries for instance and it can be used to share documents with work colleagues for example. CPAs or accountant might use Evernote to write a To Do list and sync it across all your devices so you’ll always remember what you need to do. You can even store PDFs of all the tax forms you regularly send to clients rather than toting around an envelope of papers.
Being a well organised accountant is a cog in a successful business and diary planning is part of this. Google Calander(part of Google Docs) is a solid and free online calendar that makes it easy to keep track of events. Use Google Calendar to create and share a calendar of deadlines to remind your clients of when things are due. You can even include notes and links to tax forms.
