We receive a lot of inquiries from students who are interested in changing careers to do accounting work or become a bookkeeper and you DO need to know about bookkeeping to do this work.

That is why we include basic bookkeeping training in our Xero and MYOB Complete training courses. The Basic Bookkeeping Training Manual is available to all EzyLearn bookkeeping course students.

This training manual goes through and explains common transaction types that relate to:

  • Assets,
  • Liabilities,
  • Income, and
  • Expenses

You don’t need bookkeeping knowledge to do an EzyLearn Xero or MYOB Course

Apart from the bonus Basic Bookkeeping training manual the reason you don’t need to have prior bookkeeping knowledge is because we lead you through all the transactions in a logical, well explained course.

We’ll show you step-by-step how to perform the bookkeeping transaction you’ll enter when you work for an employer.

One of the hardest things about creating an accounting course is designing the flow of transactions for students to enter to ensure that they receive comprehensive knowledge. We’ve been refining our office admin and bookkeeping courses for over 25 years using case studies of different business types and with the help of our humorous business owner, Jerry Lame.

Watch some video testimonials from EzyLearn students to see how easy it is to learn Xero and MYOB.

Learning bookkeeping can be fun and we try to combine serious knowledge with humorous and REAL case studies of what really goes on in many businesses.

PRE COVID Bookkeeping Course Prices

Businesspeople discussing business on virtual staff meeting during pandemic

Do you remember what happened during the Covid 19 pandemic? Apart from the sick people, vaccine mandate and isolation the biggest difference has been the cost of it all and it seems like we are STILL paying for it!

Real estate prices are up a ridiculous amount as well as the cost of almost everything: Petrol, food, rent and Interest rates – all up. If you have a mortgage you will know exactly what I’m talking about.

Some people think that it is the result of the cost of all that spending by our governments but I don’t want to get political!

I’m writing to let you know of our current promotion for most COMPLETE course packages – Pre Covid pricing. Check out the offers and enrol now and learn at your own pace.

What is the best way to learn Xero (and MYOB)?

MYOB and Xero Courses online for self-study are detailed and practical

There are several ways to learn Xero, including

Some people find it easier to learn the software through video tutorials, and replicate what they see on the tutorial using the software.

This is a good way for experienced bookkeepers to up skill quickly on a feature that they haven’t used before. It is also a good way for beginners to lose their fear of accounting software.

Watching videos and replicating what you see is very easy to do but once you get past the 4-5th video you realise it’s not the same as performing bookkeeping tasks in an office.

Others might prefer to work through a printed manual with step by step instructions and sample data. Watching training course video tutorials is not usually enough for someone who needs to learn more about bookkeeping tasks.

Are you saying the wrong things?

Bella speaking about the Career Academy Course Refresher access for Xero Bookkeeping Course students - EzyLearn

Sales is an interesting thing. It involves skills which don’t seem to be well defined enough to create a qualification for – You don’t see a Diploma in Sales or a Cert IV in Sales do you?

Sales is also a topic that scares some people who feel it involves pushing things upon people who don’t want them but that is not the case.

The most important step in the sales process is called Qualifying and it helps a sales person understand if the person they are talking to really needs what they have available for sale.

Are you talking to the right people?

Online sales training courses for bookkeepers, business owners and customer service

I’ve always been fascinated at the difference between sales people and accounts people. I consider myself a sales person first because I love meeting people and finding out what they need, then helping to find them a solution.

Although it just seems like sales people are just talking it is important to be aware of what you say and why and one of the most important tasks for a sales person is to quickly identify if someone is an ideal client.

If you can’t help someone or a new lead is not ideal it is best to spend less time talking to that person as possible without being rude or impolite, OR change your ad because it might be reaching the wrong people!

Imagine having to re-enter 5 months of MYOB or Xero bookkeeping data!

Authenticate your Xero software using Google Authenticator - online Xero courses

I spent the most part of a day securing some online services recently and it frustrated the #$%@*! out of me. That time could have been spent on something much more productive for a client or the business but it helped me realise something important.

We all need to protect what we have as well as go forth and try to create more.

Xero share price slump but reporting focus shift to new “Rule of 40” metric

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

I have to admit that I do like reading Xero’s annual reports. They are just like their software, graphical and full of simple graphs and images.

Their share price took a hit recently even though their revenue and subscriptions grew and it’s because they recorded a larger loss than they have in the past. When you read through the report though you realise that they are using a new metric to measure their success.

Could be this be a way of reporting on the profitability of your own business or where you work?

How do you make learning bookkeeping fun? With Jerry Lame!

Learning anything new is a challenge and students approach it in different ways. Some of the things you learn in bookkeeping are very dry and it might be like that in the workplace too! I always find it better to try and have some fun when you’re learning something new and I’ve created a bunch of characters to help in the process.

As a course creator we have flexibility over the topics we cover and I like to use real life experiences that I have gone through myself or learnt about from work colleagues and friends. Here are some examples..

Land or Gold? What should you buy now?

Australian capital city property value growth since 1900 vs gold - Residex - Property Investment Training Courses - EzyLearn

With the challenges of interest rate increases and cost of living issues we all seem to be questioning where to spend our money (after we’ve cut costs to meet our budget).

Have you noticed that there is now an interest rates and increased penalties if you pay anything late?! This was never a real issue a couple years ago because interest rates were so low but now it is critical.

Some people I know are juggling which bills to pay first based on the costs and charges of being late!

All the while people still want to invest in something that increases in value and land is a viable option.

One Xero account gives you access to dozens of company files

the perfect administrative executive assistant office manager learn online courses training

Many Xero beginners think that they only have 30 days to use the trial version of Xero but that isn’t actually correct. Xero, just like MYOB Business and QuickBooks online need you to create a “user” account and authenticate yourself using SMS or an authenticator app.

Once you’ve got your user account you are able to access dozens of different “company” files when you need to. This is how bookkeepers manage the company files for dozens of their own clients.

When is the best time to study? Early mornings or late nights?

circadian rhythm-hypothalamus Master Xero and MYOB using EzyLearn's unique short course modular format

I’ve been getting up at 5.15am for the last 2 years – am I crazy?!

I’ve been getting up early because I work out with some friends and prefer early mornings to late nights. This means that I’m going to bed earlier and not working as much at night.

In the past I preferred to work late into the night and pushed myself to get as much work done as I possibly could. Sometimes this meant working until midnight but I noticed that the quality of the work wasn’t always the best.

The sun rises pretty early and I’d rather work with the natural light of the day than the artificial light of the night. I dug a little deeper into this and discovered that there are studies that explains how we perform at various times of the day and how that is affected by when we get up and go to bed – Circadian Rhythms.

Circadian Rhythms can affect how well you perform when studying too..
