Accountants spend tax season at a desk with numbers and deadlines, so ergonomics and focus matter more than gadgets. A comfortable, quiet setup is worth real money when the hours get long.

About our picks: Accountants spend busy season in one chair, moving between reports and numbers. The desktop calculator, second monitor and numeric-keypad keyboard speed up checking figures, and the lumbar cushion helps through the long sitting.
