Description
Most accountants nowadays use software for final accounts preparation and personal tax returns, and many also use corporation tax software and company secretarial software. Practically all use “Office” products – Word, Excel etc.
We have scoured the internet, computer magazines, newswires and various other resources to identify potentially beneficial products for the busy accountant to help enhance service delivery and efficiency. We will continue to do so and will regularly update Power Tools on a monthly basis.
ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION INCLUDES FREE MONTHLY UPDATES !!!!
Much of the software we have unearthed is TOTALLY FREE or free to try for a period of time.
Just a few of the areas covered :-
Sending voicemails by email
USB ports to enable dual monitors
A calculator with tally roll
Remote access software
Screen capture tools
Voice over internet tools (VOIP)
Using VOIP on your mobile phone
CRM - is it for you - or your clients - try it out for free

Summary
Reviewed by Simon Hurst - past chairman ICAEW IT Faculty - and IT Consultant - August 2007
Very impressed with the Accountants Power Tools. I’m sure that most accountants would find all sorts of useful tools and information on the site. Keep up the good work.
Reviewed by Alan Marks – The Templar Group, London – February 2007
I have to say that the presentation you showed me and my colleagues at the meeting the other day was most interesting and illuminating. Even with a full IT department who are constantly looking at ways of making the way we work smarter and not harder and your presentation showed ideas which we had not thought of or heard about till you showed it to us. I think this was very valuable and well worth the time put in by you and will certainly save any user a major amount of time and will certainly save them lots of money and effort to research these ideas. Many thanks for these excellent ideas.
