As a referral/network partner of EBS providing accounting and bookkeeping services, we have pulled together some key Xero courses for students to utilise to grow their Xero/bookkeeping knowledge.

Whilst we support the use of qualified bookkeepers, we understand that business owners sometimes want to take on certain xero tasks themselves, either to save money or to just ensure they are across the topic. These courses are designed to show you the HOW, with  a little bit of the WHY to use Xero to keep your accounts as accurate as possible whilst aiming to remain compliant with the ATO requirements. They are not meant to be exhaustive and do not replace a formal bookkeeping or accounting qualification and more importantly the years of experience that qualified accountants and bookkeepers can bring to efficiency and accuracy of your accounts.
