Customer Service: Important Skills for Data Entry, Office Support and Accounts Jobs

Work remotely from home using data entry, customer service and sales agent skills training courses M

Customer service is an expectation that has changed massively over the last 5 decades and technology is a big influence in how well companies perform AND what customers expect. 

My first experiences of customer service involved talking to a person at the counter at the local corner shop. I pointed to what I wanted, knew what the price was and handed over the money. We all smiled and I walked away with a bag of lollies. Things are different these days but customer service is more complex and more important. 

Despite the complexity customer service software makes it much easier to manage at your business website. Continue reading Customer Service: Important Skills for Data Entry, Office Support and Accounts Jobs

NSW Police Force Call Centre Jobs need training in data entry and beginner level Microsoft Office Word & Excel Courses - Customer Service Training

I was speaking with someone who recently applied for call centre work for NSW Police and they were surprised at how much of the testing performed at the group interviews required data entry and Microsoft Excel skills.

Microsoft Office skills are important to get office support or admin jobs but even more so now that employees are working remotely from home using their computer. If you need help on that front we offer FREE data entry and absolute beginner level skills in Word and Excel.

Design and produce business documents & data entry using Microsoft Word

203 Microsoft Word Beginners Courses for sales letter, flyers, resumes, cover letters and tender proposals

I can use Word, it’s easy! How many times have you heard that? 

When we performed skills assessments for CRS Australia at our Dee Why training Centre we’d have lots of clients come in and tell us how great they were at using Microsoft Word, until we asked them to show us how to perform some of the Intermediate Word skills.

We often found that they’d benefit greatly from the Microsoft Word Beginners Courses because they struggled with these simple concepts. Continue reading Design and produce business documents & data entry using Microsoft Word

203 Microsoft Word Beginners Courses for sales letter, flyers, resumes, cover letters and tender proposals

Looking through Seek for data entry jobs yesterday reminded me of the training courses we offered when we operated our Dee Why training centre. It was the dotcom boom and MYOB Accounts Receivable and Payable courses were our popular weekend courses but most students needed more basic data entry skills.

Data entry skills include typing, editing documents, entering data into spreadsheets, saving files and then opening, editing and saving them again!

More job seekers have data entry skills but there’s so much more to know about basic Word and Excel usage that employers need you to know.

What do employers really look for in Accounts Receivable and data entry jobs?

Excel-Training-courses-accounting-analysis-analytics-data-entry-accounts-receivable-payable 1

Many experienced BAS agents have told me that data entry, accounts receivable and accounts payable skills are the ones that they’re looking for in potential employees. 

Many students who’ve completed a Cert IV in Bookkeeping and Accounting however think they’re above these skills and here’s how you can beat them in job interviews.

Sage One Daily Transactions & Credit Management Training Workbook

Sage One Accounting Training Course Manual and Workbook - Daily Transactions, data entry, AR & AP

Customise MYOB item and service invoice forms

Inventory Items: Our Case Study

Our online course case study involves the purchase of numerous Cisco IP phones. We enter the product information as well as the wholesale cost and retail sales price, plus the following accounts in the accounts list:

  • Cost of Sales accounts (to keep track of our product costs)
  • Income Account for tracking sales, and
  • Asset Account for tracking inventory assets.

At the point of creating these inventory items, we also decide whether our prices include or exclude GST when they appear on the purchase order and the invoice. This is an important step when you consider how you present the prices of the products you sell.
For instance, do you show customers the price excluding GST and then show the GST amount as a total for all products/services?

Customer and Supplier Cards

After creating our inventory items, we create suppliers and then purchases of our inventory items. At this stage you can allocate default settings for each card, like:

  • Expense Account
  • Purchase Memo and Comments
  • Supplier Terms and more…

Purchases

The wholesale supplier provides us with ex-GST prices in their price list so we ensure that Sage One is setup for us to enter these purchases using the ex-GST price. Sage One also enables us to keep track of the entire purchase process of:

  • Quoting
  • Ordering Items
  • Received Items
  • Bills

After the Purchase Order is placed we look at the data entry process of receiving items when they physically arrive in our warehouse, linking this arrival of stock to the Trade Creditors account. Remember that it’s not until we physically receive goods that we owe the money for them.

It’s quite normal in real life that not all inventory items arrive at the same time. Therefore we take you through the scenario of receiving some items and having the remainder placed on back order, and explore the purchase register for evidence of purchases with different statuses like:

  • Open
  • Order
  • Closed

Once you have supplier invoices you have accounts payable and we explore how to pay for these invoices. We explore full and part payments as well as accounts payable reports, vendor payment terms, and ageing periods.

Sales

The first part of the sales process is to offer your products and services for sale. Where a full solution of products and services is required, the first step is usually to provide the prospective customer with a quotation — something which Sage One enables you to do. What’s fabulous about this feature in Sage One is that you then only need to enter the quotation once and send it to your prospect. When the order is placed the quote can very quickly be converted to an invoice. Our online course will take you through all of these steps in a practical exercise.

This process of being able to quote up front makes things much faster and easier than, say, providing a quote in Word or Excel and then having to re-enter all the data into Sage One for invoicing.

When a company sells its products and services the important process of debt collection begins — almost immediately. Every invoice goes out with the selling terms indicated and can include:

  • Prepaid
  • COD
  • Nett 7 days
  • 7 Days after end of month (EOM) etc.

The management of cash flow is integral to the success of any business, large or small. If you have already paid for products, paid your employees and paid all the other expenses relating to a sale, then you naturally want to get your money back as soon as possible.
Sage One enables you to set payment term at three levels:

  • System default
  • Customer level
  • Transaction level

Credit Management

This course takes you through payment terms, accounts receivable reports (showing ageing periods) and the sending of monthly statements. However, even after the monthly statement is sent a company can experience difficulty receiving payments from customers and need to resort to actively chasing up money owed. Our Credit Management Guide is included as part of this course.

Creating and Applying Credits

In the event that fewer products were supplied, or the installation took half the time expected, you may want to credit your customer. The course shows you how to create a credit and apply it to the invoice where it should be applied, to or a new invoice.

Receiving Payments and Banking

Payments can be received in one large transaction or bit by bit and Sage One helps you keep track of every single payment. The course takes you through several different scenarios.

We introduce the concept of different asset accounts apart from just your bank account. If you want to get into the nitty gritty of bookkeeping you need to create an asset account for every step of the movement of cash. These asset accounts include:

  • Accounts Receivable (money owed to you)
  • Undeposited Funds (money you have that is yet to be banked)
  • Bank Account (cash you have)

We cover the process of receiving payments into the Undeposited Funds account and then move these funds into the bank account on the day they are deposited. This step appears onerous at first glance, but we include it because it helps reduce a lot of time in the bank reconciliation process where all you see is deposits into your bank account.

This concept is also used when you use payment services like PayPal and Direct Debit.

Cash-Based and Accrual Accounting

The Sage One Online Daily Transaction Course is designed to give you skills relating to cash-based accounting as well as accrual accounting. The difference is that cash-based accounting relates only to money you have in your bank account and money you have spent. Accrual accounting is based on money that is owed to you, and that you owe, even though it may not be in the company bank account at the time of reporting.

Reporting

This is an important time to consider how you want your reports to be generated and what you want them to show.

We include services on the invoice and enter them as stock items in the Sage One inventory and sales reporting to get some excellent information about the performance of the business.

Do You Need a Bookkeeper or an Accountant? Or Someone Else?

find a good local bookkeeper

There are many finance professionals — who does your business need?

find a good local bookkeeper
Does your business need a bookkeeper, accountant or perhaps just a BAS agent – or a little bit of everyone?

WE’VE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT finding a bookkeeper, when you may not know much about bookkeeping, can be a difficult task.

In fact, a lot of new business owners assume their accountant will take care of everything for them, which may be costly if their accountant has to perform a year’s worth of bookkeeping in order to file the business’s tax return. But bookkeepers and accountants can work harmoniously in your business.

As a general rule, every business needs at least two finance professionals working on their business accounts, but which two professionals you’ll need to hire depends on your business needs. If you’re not sure who you need to hire for your business, here’s a cheat sheet to help you out.

Bookkeepers (not registered with the TPB)

An independent bookkeeper not employed by an accountant and not registered with the Tax Practitioner’s Board (TPB) may only perform basic bookkeeping services, such as the

  • entering of receipts,
  • coding financial transactions,
  • generating invoices and purchase orders
  • accounts receivable and accounts payable

If you hire this type of bookkeeper, you’ll still need an accountant.

BAS agents

BAS agents must, by law, register with the Tax Practitioner’s Board (TPB), which certifies that they are qualified and have completed the necessary continuing education requirements to perform the tasks of a BAS agent, which involves carrying out most of the bookkeeping tasks mentioned above, in addition to preparing and lodging business activity statements on a business’s behalf.

If your business is registered for GST, you will need to file regular activity statements. If you hire a BAS agent, you’ll also need an accountant. In some instances, you may find a BAS agent who’s also a registered tax agent and vice versa, who may be able to take care of all your taxation needs.

Tax agents

Although tax agents, like BAS agents, must also register with the Tax Practitioner’s Board (TPB), a tax agent is focused on income tax — how much income you have to declare, how much you can claim back, etc.

This is distinct from a BAS agent who is concerned with the day-to-day financial tasks of your business (bookkeeping and BAS lodgements). That said, some tax agents will also perform some the basic bookkeeping tasks on a regular basis, though they primarily specialise in lodging tax returns.

If you’re not registered for GST, and your tax agent will also perform regular bookkeeping tasks (or you can do it yourself), you may not need to hire an accountant. In some instances, you may find a tax agent who’s also a registered BAS agent and vice versa, who may be able to take care of all your taxation needs.

Accountants

An accountant is mostly concerned with planning and strategy. Unlike bookkeepers and BAS or tax agents, an accountant will assess and advise you on what actions you should take to maximise your income. Great accountants will get involved with planning the direction of your business and ensure it’s been structured properly and that you’re meeting any additional tax obligations.

They’ll also help you to make strategic purchases for equipment and machinery, and work with your BAS agent or bookkeeper to ensure these decisions are reflected in your daily financial records. An accountant is also able to prepare and lodge tax returns on your behalf.

How much should I pay a bookkeeper?

Check out the National Bookkeeping Directory, which features the details of bookkeepers, capable of doing data entry and clerical tasks, through to high-level accounting work as undertaken by BAS agents, accountants and CFOs.

You can also see the National Bookkeeping rates page to find out what level bookkeeper your business needs.

How to get employers contacting you

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

Employers like small business owners are looking for staff online using Google. From office admin and business administration tasks to bookkeeping and customer service and sales, employers need staff to keep their businesses running.

The only way you are going to get discovered is if you have an online profile that CAN GET DISCOVERED and that is what membership to the Bookkeeping Academy does for you.

The biggest difference between applying for jobs and having employers contact you is that rather than go through the job application elimination process you’ll need to know what to say to employers when they call.

Questions to ask employers and clients

You can’t just say “I need more money, can I have the job”. You need to be able to identify:

  • what work they need you to do,
  • how they want you to work
  • the working hours and pay

One of the hardest things you’ll need to learn is how to say, “Sorry I don’t think I can help you!”

Xero Training Course and Xero Certificate - Daily Transactions - EzyLearn

In bookkeeping work alone there are so many different types of work that you need to clarify what clients want.

The easiest way for you to get into bookkeeping if you are new to it is through data entry of invoices and purchase orders.

These are all basic bookkeeping tasks you’ll learn in the daily transactions courses in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online.

Do more after your online course

If you want the support and nurturing that comes with an Internship you can explore becoming a Remote Contractor.
