APPS WE LOVE
By Gail Perry, CPA, Editor-in-Chief
Outfitting Your Home Office
WELL, HERE WE are, deep into 2020, and the pandemic is forcing us all to start
thinking about home offices as a more-or-less permanent fixture in our lives. By
now, most capable employees have probably proven their ability to work from
home and get their jobs done, and we are at least under the impression that
employers are coming around to the idea as well.
So we wanted to connect with our CPA
Practice Advisor community to get some tips on
best practices for setting up a real (as opposed
to a corner of the kitchen table) office in their
homes. In particular, we'd like to learn about
apps and other online solutions that are helping
make the work-from-home environment more,
well, workable.

Ken Healy, CPA, partner at Diversified Financial Solutions, told us, "When I work from home
I enjoy using the app Google Voice. It is an app
that gives me a separate telephone number that
I can use for calling my clients and having them
call me through my personal cell phone. The app
also allows text messages and my clients see my
Google Voice telephone number, not my personal

telephone number. The best feature for me is that
I can place the app on 'Do Not Disturb' outside
of business hours."
Kevin Bong, COO at AuditFile, said, "It's not
an app but I wanted to share this Bluetooth
headset. It's actually designed for truck drivers
and does an amazing job filtering out background
noise (so the person on the other end of the call
only hears your voice). Moreover, it is easy to use
and also has an app that can be programmed
with different functions and commands."
Rick Richardson, CPA.CITP, CGMA, managing
partner at Richardson Media & Technologies,
recommends Grammarly for writing content. "I
now only use it as a plug-in to Microsoft Word. It
is a wonderful second check on diction - based on
