Archiving subscribers in Mailchimp Email Marketing Course - Marketing Academy

EzyLearn has been an online training company for Office Admin and Business Admin courses since the Internet appeared and geez I could tell you some stories about what I’ve seen.

Something frustrating is happening at the moment and it pits the developing countries again rich countries like Australia.

If you’re reading this because you received an email notification then you’re a subscriber to our blog – WELCOME!

We manage this list using MailChimp because it helps us to be compliant for AntiSPAM requirements but it doesn’t stop people entering all sorts of information into our “Lead Capture Pages”.

PS. Did you know that QuickBooks Online owner, Intuit, now owns MailChimp?

Time to complete BAS’s and get your Financial Reports

Do you notice that it’s pretty quiet at certain times of the year?

I notice it when I speaking to the local pool shop owner, cafe owner and real estate agent. If it’s quiet for you it’s probably just quiet generally.

I’m talking about business activity and sales.

There are some simple signs:

  • It’s end of month reconciliation time
  • Due date for BAS’s
  • Elections
  • Global economy announcement
  • Big stock market announcement

If you need to complete your BAS and get your financial reports enrol into the Xero BAS and Reporting course separately.

I’ve never actually done it

Frequent updates and infrequent use of software like Excel can really leave you stumped - that's where Lifetime Membership for Excel Online Courses comes in real handy!

People are interesting aren’t they?

I recall when we opened our first Sydney training centre how I took people through a needs analysis to determine what they knew and didn’t know. I could quickly see the difference between what people say and what they do.

We were doing most of the training for clients of Commonwealth Rehab Services when the Internet was in it’s infancy and lots of people were learning about how to send an email!

Why is LIFETIME MYOB & Xero Course access better than 6 or 12 months?

Change in Career

It depends on how much you use the software. If you are changing careers and don’t use accounting software regularly, LIFETIME course access and support means you can access the course again and again when you need it.

Job Seeker

I’ve seen examples where a student learns how to use Xero and gets their certificate and then applies for some jobs but then life takes over and they stay in their current job.

In this scenario the student can regain access to their MYOB and Xero course at any time in the future and go through the training as a refresher.

Small Business Owner or Manager

Another great example is for small business owners or managers who want to start to do more of their own bookkeeping.

Enrol into the COMPLETE Xero Course, which includes beginners to advanced bookkeeping training, and start to perform the data entry tasks in the Daily Transactions course.

You can then come back to the course at any time in the future to learn how to master more complex tasks like BAS, Financial Reporting and Payroll.

What most students ask about MYOB courses

EzyLearn Online MYOB Training Courses logo - training & student support

This website page answers 99% of students questions about online MYOB courses and certification. It has evolved as we’ve added content and support services so it’s pretty thorough.

The answers to these questions have become a little more complex since MYOB created separate versions of their software:

  • MYOB AccountRight, and
  • MYOB Business (Lite and Pro)

The Bookkeeping Academy MYOB course combination includes training and support for both of these versions.

See the most common questions students ask us.

Your Equity = Assets – Liabilities

Online Xero Training Course - Rule of 40 financial cashflow reporting standard for Xero

Have you spent any time looking at this foundational accounting formula? It’s a formula that shows how wealthy you are – what your worth.

If you are a property owner you would be smiling because of the increase in home values since Covid – and for the last 30 or more years in Australia!

Like most financial reports they don’t tell the full picture by themselves.

Are you worth more than a painter?

Are you worth more than a painter - Business Admin Courses with EzyLearn online MYOB and Xero Courses

This might seem like an odd question and I don’t mean to cause any issues with painters. I was looking for a painter recently and was surprised at how much they charge. The most interesting comment was “I’m very good and I will do the work for $400 cash a day”.

Do the maths and that equates to $50 per hour for an 8 hour day. Are you worth that much?

I understand that it doesn’t just come down to an hourly rate but it still begs the question..

Should we rename Bookkeeping Academy to Office Academy?

The-Career-Academy-for-EzyLearn-Online-MYOB-Xero-QuickBooks-and-Microsoft-Office-and-Excel-Training-39-cropped

The Bookkeeping Academy is a membership program designed to help our graduates get more training and exposure to find work. We have a lot of Bookkeeping course students who want to learn how to use MYOB and Xero but many of our students are looking for office admin and business admin jobs.

One of the biggest differences between Office Admin and Business Admin jobs relates to business finances and strategy.

Business Admin jobs pay more because you perform tasks that relate directly to the profitability of the business. These tasks relate to both the initial strategy and the financial reporting so they consider all aspects of the business.

Our Career Academy include the following services:

  1. Course Refresher – Cheap ongoing course access and support
  2. Bookkeeping Academy membership – online exposure via National Bookkeeping directory
  3. Job Getter – actively help you find a job that suits your skills and experience
  4. Online Affiliate – work with you to earn an online income
  5. EzyLearn Tutor – help students work through our training programs
  6. Remote Contractor – find office admin and business admin work
Bookkeeping Career Academy short courses in MYO, Xero and QuickBooks Online - get certified

When you look at these services do you think we should rename our academy from Bookkeeping to Office Academy?

Discover the courses that give you discounted membership to the Bookkeeping Academy.

Bunnings receipts (tax invoices) straight to your MYOB Business software

Smart receipts stored in MYOB from Bunnings - Learn MYOB with online courses from EzyLearn

Unless you’re a tradie with a Commercial “PowerPass” account with Bunnings you probably wouldn’t know about their fantastic system of keeping track of all your tax invoices.

It’s actually quite easy to get a PowerPass account and it’s very similar to using Flybuys. You go and buy all the things you need – like I did to erect the garden shed in our Job tracking and Projects case study for the MYOB and Xero Courses – and scan your card when you pay. You get a discount and your tax invoice is recorded in the Bunnings PowerPass system.

Bunnings-forge-partnership-with-Bunnings-for-Smart-Receipts-for-PowerPass-members-MYOB-AccountRight-and-Essentials-Online-Training-Courses-EzyLearn

You just log into the PowerPass admin area and EVERY SINGLE invoice is available to you there!

Xero made a big deal about their Hubdoc purchase and how it was included for all users when they increased their monthly subscriptions by $2 in 2019.

This was the start of what seems to be an ongoing increase in the monthly subscription price for Xero. Xero appears to come across like a money hungry landlord that has you hooked on their software and wants to see how much they can extract from you.

It’s a big job to change accounting programs and like many software publishers Xero need to increase their subscription rate or earn more money by selling addons that they own – or they can charge a per employee rate for payroll services!

If you are starting a new business or switching back to MYOB Business from Xero learn how to use MYOB Business online with us.

If you are looking for work you are best to learn both version of MYOB: AccountRight and MYOB Business. They are available in our MYOB & Xero Bookkeeping Course Bundles.
