Business Apps You Should Know About

Starting a small business comes with many ups and downs, but once your company is on its feet, then it's smooth sailing, right? As much as most business owners wish this were true, it's not generally the case.

One big, time-consuming part of running a company is administrative tasks: anything from payroll to human resources duties. They're essential functions of any business, but they can eat at schedules and make it hard to get anything else done. But, don't fret. There are several tools and resources that can automate or outsource administrative activities which can free up your time to do what you do best.

Here are some of the top business apps that small business owners can benefit from downloading:

Quickbooks

If tracking your profits and ensuring your employees are paid on time has become too stressful, then Quickbooks can help you manage your accounting. With this app, you can auto-track income and expenses, pay employees and contractors and integrate payroll and time tracking as your business grows. And, it's great for small businesses because the service offers payment plans that work for small teams, so you don't have to pay a fortune to get started.

Business apps can help your team stay connected and may streamline administrative duties.

Slack

When you have a smaller team, it may seem unnecessary to have a communication platform. But, an app like Slack can help you manage and track conversations, all while storing important information and keeping a tab on what's happening within your business. This is especially useful if your team works hybrid or fully remotely, as Slack can bring your team together and be a central communication hub. You can also connect other applications within the system to operate more efficiently, all in one place.

Monday.com

You may hear the word "Monday" and cringe, but the project management software, Monday.com, can put a positive spin on the word indicating the beginning of a new work week. This app can help your small business stay organized and on top of projects, with easy collaboration and task automation functions available. Give feedback easily and move projects down the funnel much faster by ensuring your team — as big or small as it is — knows what's going on and is on the same page.

Google Calendar

Never worry about when and where your meetings are by using Google Calendar to make, send and receive calendar invites that are as customizable as you need them to be. As a small business owner, your day fills up quickly, and it may seem like you don't have any spare seconds to check in on project progress or meet one-on-one with your teammates. With a more organized calendar and an awareness of when people are free, you'll be better able to make time for the things that matter most to you.
