iPad

CPAs increasingly use iPads.

I mainly use mine for:

  • Taking notes and recording audio
  • Research when I’m away from my desk
  • To access our Box storage with firm documents
  • To type blog articles
  • Read the Wall Street Journal
  • To archive blog articles I’ve read with Pocket
  • Play music as I work
  • Message others using Teams or message apps
  • To access my Evernote account and to store documents such as photos there
  • Check the weather
  • Keep up with my to-do list in Teams or OmniFocus
  • Check my Outlook emails
  • Compute numbers with calculator
  • Read documents and annotate using Documents app and my Apple pencil
  • Watch training videos in LinkedIn

I have found that my iPad is one of the most useful devices available to CPAs. The Apple Pencil has made it even more valuable, enabling me to write on documents and blank pages as I would with physical paper.
