What softwares do accountants use?

[Gaurav]

I’m trying to get a better understanding of the tools accountants use in their daily work. I know there are popular options like QuickBooks, but what other software do accountants rely on for bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll, and financial reporting? Any recommendations or insights from professionals would be really helpful!
