In today’s digital landscape, proficiency in cloud-based accounting software like Xero is essential for professionals in bookkeeping, accounting, and small business management.
EzyLearn’s comprehensive Xero training courses are designed to not only teach the software but to ensure that learners retain and confidently apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Learning how to use Xero for specific tasks is easy. There are dozens of videos that you can watch for free on YouTube and they are good for “JIT Learning” – Just In Time Learning. If you want to get a thorough and detailed training about how to perform bookkeeping using Xero you need to learn how to perform all the bookkeeping tasks.
Most people like to watch training videos about how to use Xero or Excel and then try to replicated it.
But once you’ve watched 3-4 videos you get the feeling that you should be using the software. You’ll also start to realise the benefit of a course that contains all the sample data and exercises to help you learn bookkeeping.
The Bookkeeping Academy is designed for anyone who wants to enhance their knowledge and use of technology to manage the financial aspects of their business.
As a business owner this gives you a low cost educational and support resource to help you use technology to become more organised and efficient in the administration aspects of your business.

Reconciling Your Accounts Daily Gives a True Picture of Cash Flow
The king was in his counting house, counting out his money… small businesses as well as large can get a true financial picture with daily reconciliation.
For a lot of business owners, just the thought of reconciling their accounts once a month is enough to make them go weak at the knees, never mind every day.
Some business owners feel that bank reconciliation is wasted time that doesn’t bring in revenue, yet there are plenty of contract and remote bookkeepers who work for their clients each week, and some that work every day for the same client, reconciling their accounts and providing other vital bookkeeping services.
And they’re not just big businesses whose accounts are reconciled daily — plenty of small businesses do so too.
In fact, with so many small businesses going asunder due to cash flow problems (often stemming from a lack of procedures in place for credit and debt management) it can be not only a cost-saver but a potential life-saver to your business.
Some of the most challenging bookkeeping work is catchup or rescue bookkeeping. When there are 3 months worth of transactions of all different types and you need to
enter the data,
reconcile the bank accounts and
make sure that the tax, GST and payroll data is accurate –
You’ll work with 3 months of data and end up producing financial reports to help Jerry be compliant with the ATO for GST as well as his payroll PAYG obligations.
You’ll also give Jerry some useful insights into his messy business using financial reporting.
You are legally permitted to provide BAS services provided you are under instruction from the Business Owner, the business accountant or a registered BAS Agent.
BAS Services include Payroll and Superannuation calculations
Completing your BAS gets tricky with partial GST expenses
Data entry for historical transactions is what takes the most time when completing the BAS
There’s lots to do when businesses engage a new worker. As an employer, you’ll be busy going through the onboarding process and showing your new employee the ropes, but there are other important things to do when you add a new member to your team.
Keeping accurate records complete with the right information is essential for businesses to maintain, and that means updating and adding data when engaging a new worker. Here are some things to keep in mind as you go through this process:

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
If you have any other questions you’ll find answers to most of them at our FAQ’s.
Here are just some of the most common questions and links to their answers.
Jerry Lame is a serial entrepreneur and loves shiny new objects. He was a corporate employee but went out on his own to start a business and be his own boss – then things got messy.
He started doing whatever he could to earn money and created income selling lots of different things to lots of different people. He used Outlook to send group messages to his clients until one day he realised it was going to get too hard.
Tony, a customer, sent him a reply email abusing him for sending junk mail and that surprised Jerry!
Jerry loves people and he loves talking to people from all sorts of different backgrounds and he remembered his conversations with Tony vividly so he was surprised to get such a reply.
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.
The purpose of a well designed course is to provide a series of steps for students to perform that gives them the knowledge and practical experience they need to learn.
We use a number of different tools and case studies and one of my favourites is the Jerry Lame “. He’s like many people that you’ll meet every day.
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.
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!
There are times when I wish we all had the choice to only upgrade our software if we wanted to!
Microsoft made us all do it by changing the “look and feel” of their Microsoft Office programs like Microsoft Excel and MYOB made us all doing it by putting the changes in PAYG tax tables in their update rather than leaving it in the core MYOB AccountRight software.
I had a few days off and decided NOT to take my laptop with me and gee that felt great!
When I came back my Inbox was full and my website was out of date! Some students messaged to say that the software was a bit different to the training material and the navigation of some of my apps had changed.
It’s normal these days to spend time just catching up on changes in your software, office procedures and prices!
