New menu items have been added for ‘Customers & leads’ and ‘Budgets’

QuickBooks and Mailchimp Integration - QuickBooks brings leads into your business admin software - Online Business Admin Courses

There have been some big changes in Intuit QuickBooks Online navigation that have given our course development team the nudge to create updated training material.

All current students and members can access this material at no extra cost – that’s our Updates and Additions Policy.

Some of the biggest changes relate to Customers and leads and that makes sense when you consider that Intuit now owns Mailchimp – one of the largest email marketing service providers in the world.

Why MYOB makes you log in after inactivity

ATO makes MYOB improve login security for inactivity of users - MYOB courses

Have you noticed a change in how MYOB makes you login? They’re starting to do as they are told by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), that’s why.

We’ve seen lots of login issues with Xero in the past when they focused on authentication for their users and now it’s MYOB announcing improvements in their security – this time for inactivity.

Are you Selling Your Property?

Selling Your Property Facebook page cover image

They say that Spring is the season to sell your home but is that the case this year?

Property buyers seem to be holding off leading up to Christmas in the expectation that the economy will be better in 2025. There is an expectation that interest rates will be coming down.

What does that actually mean?!

Do I need one to one training to learn MYOB and Xero?

When I see this comment I wonder if it’s not just based on the fear some students have about learning by themselves.

They’re worried about what happens if they get stuck on something, what happens if they don’t understand the instructions and wanting to know that someone will be available to help them.

I started teaching students how to use computer software on a one to one basis and thought to myself,

“these people are all spending a lot of money to go through the same basic steps”.

The problem with a lot of courses is that they just dump you with information and then get you to answer some questions in an assessment or test – not EzyLearn, we guide you through learning journeys.

Has it all become too complicated?

Don't be sad - Microsoft Word & Data Entry Training Courses from $29 or $20 per week for beginners to advanced Certificate

I’ve tried and tested hundreds of software programs over the last 25 years and I’ve noticed something very interesting in the last 12 months – they’ve gotten so complicated!

Email marketing is commonplace these days and you know it’s a money spinner when Intuit buy Mailchimp.

Email Marketing is complicated

The cost of email marketing software has gone up and up and up and all the software vendors are increasing their prices at the moment. I thought Xero was pushing it with their yearly price increase but Aweber is similar to Mailchimp and they recently increased one of their monthly packages from $10pm to $55pm – that’s OVER 500% increase.

Is it worth it?

Should you learn MYOB, Xero or QuickBooks First?

Xero Course, MYOB Course, QuicBooks Course - COMPLETE Suite Training & Support - Bookkeeping Academy

We receive lots of bookkeeping course enquiries from students who are changing careers and want to find bookkeeping work.

If you are new to bookkeeping you may be familiar with MYOB because it has been around for decades. As soon as you start looking at job ads you’ll hear about Xero because a lot of businesses are migrating away from MYOB to Xero.

So a common question is should I learn MYOB and then Xero?

What’s happening PEPPOL?

Am I speaking gibberish or just crazy?

No, I’m speaking the language of eInvoicing!

PEPPOL is a global way for accounting systems to avoid the entire email system as we know it and Xero are registering every business unless you opt out by 13th November – and it’s included in our Bookkeeping courses.

Learn about einvoicing using Xero

Is this a new closed network that eliminates any invoice and bill paying spam? Yes, pretty much.

I remember teaching people how to use email when it first arrived in our lives in the late 1990’s and it is now the most common way to “authenticate” yourself as a real person.

It is also one of the most common ways to be scammed, spammed and phished!

Xero COMPLETE Training Courses Online Suite - EzyLearn

I first wrote about PEPPOL when the Australian Government announced that they were adoption it – yes, it’s an Australian Government initiative, not a Xero Initiative.

PEPPOL is the mechanism whereby you can get your invoice directly into the software of your client and I think it’s great.

  1. Learn as much as you can about Xero in our Xero Complete training course which comes with lifetime course access and support.
  2. Or choose an individual short course with 12 months access and support with Xero Beginners Course BUNDLE or the Advanced Certificate in Xero.

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!

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.

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..
