If you have a website for your accounting firm, you’re doing something right. CPA websites are an excellent starting point in the never-ending battle to increase efficiency.

But you can’t stop there.

There’s a revolution under way, and accountants need to embrace it: the smartphone.

Once you join the “smartphone revolution,” you see why they’re taking over. With this tool, your productivity reaches new heights – and you even strengthen your relationship with clients.

Smartphones Increase Efficiency

Work from Anywhere. It’s especially true during tax season – but this applies anytime of year: accountants are spending more time outside the office.

Whether it’s visiting clients in their office, taking an afternoon to go to their daughter’s ball game, or just working from home after hours, CPAs find plenty of reasons to leave the desk behind.

Smartphones make it easier to do business away from your office. You have access to phone numbers, addresses, your calendar, and your email – all while getting your life done.

Not Ready to Start Hiring Again? When the recession hit, many accounting firms had to lay off staff – and they’re not yet confident enough in the economic recovery to rehire.

Smartphones give partners a way to conduct the business of the office with fewer admins and assistants.

Smartphones Strengthen Client Relationships

More and more, accountants find that their clients expect a return phone call right away. If a client calls in with a question, it’s not acceptable to wait until you’re back in the office to call them back.

A smartphone is crucial for keeping that client relationship as healthy as you can. With a smartphone, the client’s phone number and address is right at your fingertips, wherever you are.

And because you can sync a smartphone with your email, you’re able to access relevant information about your client, too.

50 Million Users Can’t Be Wrong

There’s no denying the popularity of smartphones. Here’s a breakdown of the most popluar brands’ market shares:

Blackberry – 41.7%

iPhone – 24.4%

Microsoft – 13.2%

Google – 13% (the Android operating system)

All told, nearly 50 million people in the United States use this technology, an 8.1% increase from earlier this year.

That’s a lot of smartphones.
