Software

Software is the code written to cause computers to perform certain actions. It is differentiated from hardware which includes machines such as desktop computers, tablets, smartphones, and printers.

Software is used by accountants to perform accounting-related functions such as bookkeeping, tax services, and financial statement creation. Common software packages include Excel, Word, QuickBooks, Sage, UltraTax, and Caseware Cloud.

Software can be on a CPA firm’s server or in the cloud.
