Software Setup and Training
Many business starting up, using computerised accounting for the first time or transitioning from a different software program need training (and a course provides a consistent way of inducting accounting staff) but they want to know that they can speak with someone in applying that knowledge to their current business.
The cost for training on MYOB, Xero and Quickbooks Online is based on long the bookkeeper is required, the skill level of training and the time it takes for the bookkeeper to get to your location – also how much support time is needed after the training. A good trainer needs to have a good understanding of accounting, accounting software and experience in the type of business you operate.

Even if you are a growing medium size business you can now outsource your daily accounting functions to the team of your choice using cloud based technology.
