The author, who initially doubted working remotely as an accountant, discovered a 100% distributed company called Zapier that offered such opportunities. They set up a home office and found benefits like saving time and money, reducing their carbon footprint, and improving their health and well-being. The transition to remote work was smoother than expected, with the author adapting to video conferencing meetings, using public channels in Slack for communication, and collaborating on cloud-based apps. Tools like Quickbooks Online, Google Docs, and Notejoy facilitated teamwork and productivity, while Zapier's automated workflows (Zaps) helped decrease mundane tasks and stay organized. With the right applications and team, remote accounting work is achievable.
