I have a handful of must have tools and applications I can’t live without and use daily in my business.
Lastpass
Secure password vault, get rid of that little black book!
Harvest
Time tracking and invoicing. Do you have a business where you charge your clients on an hourly or project basis? Set it all up in Harvest and stop forgetting to charge for your time!
Canva
If you aren’t using it for your social media graphics, you should be! Canva is amazing for those without much of a design eye, as the templates are already set up for you to tweak with your own branding.
Xero
Set up as you mean to go on. Xero is not complicated, and if you keep on top of things, it’s very easy to manage your own books until they need input from your Accountant.
