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!
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.
The LIFETIME course access and support option is now available for MYOB and Xero COMPLETE courses as well as QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Office Courses in Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
You can also pay for these COMPLETE courses on our $20 per week payment plan!
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..
When you’re a business owner you see all sorts of things that employees don’t normally see. I get to see every online course enquiry for all our courses and its interesting to see what students want to learn but Eric Jones takes the cake.
Eric and his friends enter their details into our enquiry form at least once a day. He wants to learn everything and in ever format possible but want he really wants is tell his own story..
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.
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:
This advanced level online payroll management course will help you learn the necessary skills and enter the payroll sector as a Payroll Officer using all the modern online accounting programs.
Learn about the tasks performed by payroll officers and develop in-depth payroll knowledge and receive your payroll certification on completion.
Learn Payroll Officer tasks for hair dressing salon and cafe and restaurant industries
What does a Payroll Officer do?
Payroll Officers are responsible for processing payroll, tax calculations and deductions. This can include creating and modifying the roster and making note of days off and sick days.
They also prepare monthly, quarterly and year-end financial statements when working with the company accountant or payroll administrator. In small businesses this role may also include elements of accounts payable and other bookkeeping responsibilities.
Payroll gets advanced when you start going a little deeper into the lives of your employees.
Younger staff members under 18 are often keen and willing to learn but also get paid much less. Older workers and parents might be more flexible but may come with obligations to pay child support payments which need to be deducted from their pay.
The issue of rostering, changing shifts and sick days also fill up a lot of time for payroll officers and these tasks and the obligations around them are taught in the Advanced Payroll course case study.
Hiring and firing is a normal part of running a business and although it can be challenging you need to get these steps right. They’ve covered in the Advanced Payroll course case study.
It’s annual report time again and Xero just released their annual results. I always find their annual presentation fascinating because they reveal a lot of visual information about the small business market that they sell to.
Small businesses that employ 1-20 staff are the majority of their users so learning how to use Xero means that these companies will be your employers.
It’s been a bit chilly after the Australian Federal Budget and the stretch to the end of the year seems like miles away, but it’s not.
If you want to learn how to use Microsoft Excel and Xero with the full course and support, including Training Course Manuals but are on a tight budget, take advantage of our Micro Courses for Micro credentials.
Micro Courses in Excel, MYOB and Xero are now available at a discounted retail price.
Tradies are the critical workers in the Australian property market. They’re responsible for new home builds as well as renovations and extensions. Since Covid they have been in hot demand and one builder I spoke to said he use to advertise and not even get one response since Covid.
They also run some of the most complex businesses and need the help of bookkeeping software like MYOB and Xero, particularly where it relates to Project or Job Tracking.
In the 2024 Australian Federal Budget they got some good news.
Things are moving fast in the software industry as Intuit (QuickBooks), MYOB and Xero compete with each other with regular software updates. It has become so fierce that many students are enrolling into our Bookkeeping Academy Combination courses.
The key frontiers are still
automated data entry from bank feeds,
capturing receipts and extracting data,
faster reconciliation and
automatic calculations of taxes owed.
These are some of the features promoted by NAB Bookkeeper for NAB Business banking customers but what is MYOB’s huge announcement?
I want to thank the following students for choosing EzyLearn and graduating from their Office Admin and Bookkeeping short courses.
At this point we don’t speak with some students again because they have the new skills they want and they use them to find work or do better in their jobs. That is a sad part of the training business for me.
Some students take advantage of our Career Academy services and stay around to get exposure to employers and other students.
