Zoho Projects

Just like Basecamp, this project management software lacks client profiles. Yet it relies on an extensive ecosystem of Zoho products, from a CRM to a billing system. Not all the product range might be immediately relevant for accountants. Still, it is nice to realize that the developer offers multiple tools for team collaboration, task automation, reporting and so on.

com_banners__click up.jpg

Clickup

This project management software is so powerful and functional that newbies need to spend a lot of time figuring out how it operates. For accountants, a large part of Clickup's capabilities would be excessive. Nevertheless, you should be impressed by custom statuses, hierarchy, drag-and-drop reordering, recurring checklists and draft tasks. The other prominent features that deserve to be mentioned are the workload chart, multitask toolbar, bulk rescheduling, team templates and task mentions. Users can switch between 4 viewing modes.

For newbies, there is a comprehensive Wiki.

You can share your boards with guests who are not registered in the system.
