Xero is complicated, let’s be honest. I know that Xero tell you the software is beautiful and simple to use but in reality it’s accounting software and if accounting software was easy then everyone would have their BAS’s lodged on time and have no credit risk issues.

It also depends on what kind of past experience you’ve had with accounting and bookkeeping work, but there is a way to up-skill in Xero quickly.

Several years ago Xero’s message to small businesses was that you don’t need a bookkeeper! That you can replace your Excel spreadsheet or Word documents with Xero accounting software to do your own accounts.

What they realised is that most business owners are NOT bookkeepers and don’t like spending their own time doing book work.

Infact, they’re still encouraging business owners to stop using spreadsheets, the image on the right is a recent ad I saw for their software.

Most small businesses would prefer to use a bookkeeper and not think too much about their accounting, but they don’t want to spend more than they need to.

Smart businesses are using:

• bank feeds,
• receipt capture and coding software, and
• using their software on a mobile device to quote and invoice quickly and receive payments quickly. These skills are available for free!

How do you learn Xero in less than 5 days?

So, the first secret to learning Xero quickly and cheaply is to do your training online. You can learn at your own pace and move through the training course material in your own schedule (night, mornings, weekends etc), getting online support when you need it.

The second secret is that you actually need to be performing the tasks that you’d be doing in a job and that’s where the training workbooks with step-by-step exercises is very important (and it’s the first step in creating our online accounting training courses).

Finally, there are more than 170 concise and to-the-point instructional videos that you can repeat as often as you need until you understand (if you need to). These videos are not someone talking and just filling up time but instructional (something you can replicate on your own computer!)
