SOFTWARE TRAINING & SUPPORT

As part of our ongoing bookkeeping service we can provide our clients and their staff with software training and general bookkeeping advice.

The right accounting software will depend on your specific business requirements such as company structure, column of payments and invoicing transactions, payroll or project cost allocation, for example. Before you decide what is right for your business, give us a call and we can go through with you t the pros and cons of each software package and decide what is right for your business from day one.

If you already have an accounting package you are happy with whether you are just getting started, or just want to brush up on your skills and some of the package feature then we can customise face to face or online training.

There are excellent resources online via Youtube or XERO or MYOB portals, as well as free accounting software packages with more limited functionality.
