Alex, I originally ran my business from my laptop, but found myself using my phone more and more on the go. Slowly, I started doing all my accounting on my phone too until I was doing almost everything on it. The great advantage is being able to run things whenever and wherever I please. However, the drawbacks do outweigh the benefits as I have learnt the hard way: whatever I can do on a computer always takes me almost twice as long on my phone. Also, in the past year, my neck is inflicting increasing pain from looking down on average 6 hours day including weekends (yes, 6 hours, and yes I am ashamed!). Recently, I am forcing myself to use the laptop more and I am reaping time benefits as well as a healthier neck.

In summary, as much as it sounds awesome & convenient to run a business on a phone, it will have notable drawbacks.

Regards,
Stéphane
