App Stack Picks for 2019

January 1, 2019 – First of all, advance Happy New Year to everyone! As 2018 comes to a close, most of you may have come up with your business plans for the new one. No matter your situation, allow us to influence you with a new set of resolution. We have come up with a list of apps that may help bring efficiency and cost savings to the new year.

These applications range from different categories such as accounting, tax, team collaboration and project management.

So without further ado, let’s begin:

Accounting

Aside from the numbers”, most businesses hated accounting because of its difficult nature.

Whether you like it or not, accounting is a part of your business. Good thing that there’s an option for you to easily manage it using Xero accounting software.

Xero lets you create invoices and bills, as well as expense claims and credit notes. You can also do quick reconciling of real-time bank feeds.

This accounting software has an interface which lets you see your cash flow in a glance. With the reporting tool, you’ll get a clear forecast of the current status of your company that will greatly help in terms of budgeting, planning, and estimating the future growth of your business.

It also has a basic inventory system that enables you to manage your supplies with ease.

Tax Compliance

As you know, accounting and tax are two separate domains but very much connected.

Reporting your day-to-day transactions is essential in filing taxes with the BIR, but of course, doing this task alone wasn’t easy.

Aside from the pains of settling those amounts, having your transactions reflected in tax forms is another challenging job to do.

You have to manually enter transactions and calculate them using tax preparation tools that needs installation and download.

JuanTax understands all of these tax hurdles, and it wants to help change your perspective of tax compliance.

With JuanTax, you don’t have to install or download anything. All you have to do is create transactions from the tax software, file your returns and that’s it!

JuanTax is complete with local tax forms on Value-Added, Percentage, Withholding and Income Tax Return.

It also has its own mobile app where you can add transactions. All you have to do is capture images of documents like receipts and invoices.

Team Collaboration

Communication is one of the best recipes to keep a company functioning like a well-oiled machine.

Here are some of the options that we suggest:

First is Gmail, which is popular among businesses.

It enables users to send messages with each other, attach files along with it, and start conversations directly with a co-worker or communicate with the entire team at once using its Hangouts feature.

Next up is Slack, wherein you could talk with your co-workers or created groups in a typical chat type manner. You can also upload files and images using this platform.

Last but not the least are Workplace and Workplace Chat.

The world-renowned social media platform has its own business-themed version of Facebook.

People can like, share and comment on any post. They can create group chats, initiate live videos, and of course, they can talk to their peers using a messenger-type chat box.
