Mobile apps for business - a working directory

Bolstered by its triumph as AccountingWEB’s Gadget of the Year for 2009, the iPhone continues to beef up its credibility as a business tool with a growing collection of business focused apps.

Unless, however, you are using your iPhone or are connected to one of the phone manufacturers' online app stores, it’s a bit of a slog to research available apps. Our thanks then to James Charles at TimesOnline, who got us thinking about this topic with a listing of the 25 best financial iPhone apps.

Starting with his suggestions, we’ve popped in a few other apps we’re aware of for iPhone and other smartphones. It’s by no means an exhaustive list - but with your help we can get there…

If you’re a software developer who has something to offer mobile users, please alert us to your product using the comment button below. And if you use a particular app, please tell us what it does, what you think of it, how much it costs and where to find it.

As we gather more information, we’ll update this article into a more comprehensive listing.

A colleague pointed me to SJD's Contractor, Freelancer, Small Business Tax Calculator which is available for free from the iTunes apps store. It helps users track their montly contract rate, invoiced amounts, monthly take home amounts and percentages of tax due.

We'll be following up with SJD to find out more about it, but if you're aware of any other useful apps for the iPhone or any other model, to let us know here and we'll add them to the directory.

iPhone App for Flat Rate VAT Scheme

Derek_McCann | | Permalink

Hi John,

I've just published an iPhone App which is a comprehensive calculator for the HMRC Flat Rate VAT Scheme. It supports all the features of the scheme and provides a 3 year illustration of the VAT due under in the Flat Rate Scheme compared to normal VAT accounting for an individual business.

More detail is available on my website: www.impetusapps.com/flatRatePage.html or on the UK App Store: itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware

I would appreciate any comments or feedback you have.

thanks

Derek
