Accounting skills help...

A great way to make yourself useful in any organisation is to have the skills needed to do computer accounting.  These people always seem to be in short supply.

Our Workshops will introduce you to a computer accounting package that is easy to learn and easy to use, and that has a full range of features needed in a small business.  With just a little bit of extra work at home, you will be able to:

• maintain a cashbook,
• reconcile bank statements,
• send out invoices and customer statements,
• process incoming bills,
• prepare GST Returns,
• manage a simple inventory,
• create the reports the Manager/Owner will need to see how the business is going,
• and much more. 

These are all key tasks in any organisation and they make you a valuable employee - one at the centre of operations.

The actual software doesn't matter...

Any employer is going to like finding someone who is familiar with the small business accounting package they use - but it doesn’t often happen because there are over 40 different small business packages in New Zealand.

Most employers take the view that, as long as the new recruit understands one accounting program, they can be converted (because it is not a big job) to another package.  The key is to know how one program works - so pick a nice simple one!

Free software to learn on...

A copy of the software we train in (Cashbook Complete) is provided with our training materials, and it is free to use for 3 months without any obligation to buy it.  That means you have lots of time to learn it WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY FOR IT!

We also supply you with a full set of dummy data and bank statements so you can work with the software without needing to already be in business to have something to enter.  Our dummy data will take you through the full software features, including how to perform the critical back-up and restore procedures to keep your data safe.
