Xero Online Book keeping
I have been using Xero for a few months. This course helped fill some of the gaps in areas I haven’t used yet.
Some of the course dragged on and I lost concentration but all in all it was ok .
Xero Online Bookkeeping
I found the course very helpful as I have not used Xero before, using the demo company and posting all the day to day transactions was a good way to learn the software. I like Xero but found the Bank Reconciliation process was a slow process. All in all a good value for money course.
