About Bookkeeping

What is bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping is the process of recording financial transactions. Bookkeeping services include recording all cash flow and outflow and writing up financial reports, which in large corporations, will be handed on to accountants to analyze those numbers.

Bookkeepers use a number of tools, including bookkeeping software like Xero, and need to understand more than bookkeeping system, cloud computing systems and record-keeping options.

Why should I study bookkeeping?

If you’re looking to work as a bookkeeper than a short course is the perfect way to get started. Whether you’re one of many business owners who need to complete their own bookkeeping services and business activity statements, or want to know so that you can keep an account of your own personal expenses using bookkeeping software, a course is a perfect way to do it.

If you complete a course in bookkeeping, you may learn about:

The difference between working for small businesses and large corporations.
What accounts payable are vs. accounts receivable and how they work.
Australian and New Zealand bookkeeping vs. international bookkeeping.
Different accounting software and systems like MYOB or Quickbooks.
How to become a BAS agent and what BAS agent registration entails.
How to correctly record a financial transaction.
How to understand and use more than one accounting system.
How to write up a balance sheet and make sure it actually balances.
How to prepare an income statement.
Why you may need to open or close a bank account on your clients’ behalf.

Where can I study bookkeeping?

Studying bookkeeping is easy to do, with courses available across Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and beyond. Most courses can be done either online or in person, both full time and part-time, so you may be able to complete the course around full-time work.
