Why study Xero Online?
Knowledge of Xero Online accounting and bookkeeping software is highly desirable by many businesses and it is vital to become competitive professionals and secure more jobs. As accounting is shifting rapidly into the digital, including tax submissions directly to your tax office, Xero is one of the leading software to offer a reliable accounting package for all requirements.
Xero Online Accounting and Bookkeeping has a similar structure across all countries, in my view, once you learn the basics, it is easy to navigate through any other version. I have reviewed the Australian Xero version, see my YouTube channel @LearnbookeepingUK for that video.
Why study online?
Studying online at your own pace, whenever you are based, helps you to achieve your goals without extra stress or pressure. No matter if your goal is to find a new job as a bookkeeper, or start your own small (or big) bookkeeping business.
The course covers all essentials, based on my years of experience with Xero, and in my view, this is an ideal starting point for any bookkeeper at the beginning or advanced level to refresh the latest updates.
About the course:
Course based on the Xero software UK demo company. I explain how to register for a trial version and how to download the Case study with exercises (Section 1 Case study). Registering for the trial version helps to learn by doing exercises along the videos on your own as well.
If you would like to become a successful freelance bookkeeper I recommend to go through each module and then refer when needed. ( You have indefinite access to this course!).
If you are a sole trader or a business owner and decided to do own bookkeeping: go through main chapters on : how to set up your business, how to raise sale and credit note, how to input the purchase invoice or purchase credit, how to connect bank, how to run main reports. Everything else, you can always refer back if needed.
