5 Software Programs all Finance Pros Should Have

Published on 20 September 13

Everyone needs a little outside help with their business, accounts, finances, and taxes, including the professionals - especially the pros, in fact. When you're dealing with your own business, mismanaging your finances can lead to unimaginable disasters, such as an inability to pay your employees, a free-fall into the red, or even an outright bankruptcy.


Instead of risking all of those financial nightmares, why not just make sure you have the best software programs at the onset?

Manage Your Money with Mint

Mint is one of the most well-known software applications for keeping updated with your finances. One of its biggest benefits has to do with its versatility: It's available as an app as well as a Web-based application, so you can reach it from just about anywhere. It's also free to use, no matter what platform you choose, and given its features, that's saying a lot.


To say that Mint is simply a financial program is a vast understatement. While ostensibly ideal for personal finances, it works just as well for professional matters, especially in terms of budgeting, tracking your spending, and integrating your account with most financial institutions and banks. It's especially helpful with keeping track of payouts to everything from employees to insurance companies.

Tackle Tax Time with Turbo Tax


When the tax man cometh - and he always does - you have to stay on top. Doing your taxes correctly when you're a business is doubly important, and financial professionals are often held to a higher standard. A financial professional like Mark Weinberger understands the need for professional help, and you should follow suit.


Turbo Tax is one of the leading tax programs available, and though it too costs to use, the price is minimal compared to what you can potentially save. More importantly, you can't afford to miss anything on your business based taxes. While you don't want to get stuck owing an arm and a leg, neither do you want to risk an audit. Without professional help from a reputable program or tax professional, that might happen, so avoid it at all costs by getting help from someone.

Stay in the Black with Check.me

You might already know this program as Pageonce, although now it's Check.me. It's a free tool available as a Web-based program and as an app for iOS and Android devices. With your own business, especially, making money is the name of the game, and that's especially true for financial professionals. If you're worried that your business is down in the red, Check.me can help keep you balanced in the black.


It's something of a budgeting program, but it does more than that. When you've got big bills and invoices due in your business, Check will let you know they're coming up, but it will also help you figure out how to pay them off without breaking your budget or taking your business account into the red. This also helps you avoid late payments, which won't look good for your business or its reputation.

Record Your Hours with OfficeTime

Whether you're self-employed, working from home, or managing your own employees, OfficeTime is an excellent way to keep up with your billable hours. Better still, you can easily create invoices for your time and efforts, which is especially ideal for account managers and financial professionals who have their own business. This way, you can always make sure you're getting paid for the time and effort you put into your work, in addition to making sure that your employees get paid their worth.


OfficeTime is a paid software program, but for less than $50.00, it's well worth the money. You can break down your costs by the minute or by the hour, and you can keep things as detailed or general as you like. Although incredibly easy to use, it's easy to customize to suit your needs as well, so you can even change it up by the job.

Become Your Own Accounts Manager with Manilla

Manilla, a free program, can actually save you money in several ways. It doesn't cost anything, obviously, which is always nice. However, since it also specializes in billing and account management, it can theoretically replace the account manager in your offices - or supplement that employee's knowledge, whichever works best for you. It will work on most phones and tablets as well, though, and lets you manage all of your billing statements while keeping them separate and easy to find.


These programs will merely help your business stay both streamlined and successful. What software programs and apps do you rely on for your finances?
