Why Xero?
Xero has built a reputation for being the key choice of accounting software for start-ups and small businesses in Ireland due to its ease of use and versatility on all levels. "Accountant Online" and "Best in Ireland" have ranked Xero as the best accounting solutions in Ireland.
Xero has a very user-friendly and intuitive interface that assists with multiple tasks and easy exploration of all its core features; it also provides multiple dashboards that are easily accessible, it can display key information at a glance with widgets that show you snapshots of your bank balances, invoices owed, total cash in and out, outstanding bills, tasks, and more. One unique thing about Xero's dashboard is that these widgets are movable, so you can organize the display to your liking.
The IBAT Bookkeeping and Payroll Diploma courses provided the theory behind book-keeping and payroll, and used Sage 50 and Sage Payroll for the practical elements; also to study and practice you needed to download the Sage software to your laptop or desktop, which only worked on a Windows computer; Xero is a cloud-based solution, so it can be accessed anywhere/anytime/any-device, and without the hassle or worry about storage and back-up.
This Xero course has a shorter duration time and assumes the underlying theory of bookkeeping and payroll is already known, so the applied focus of this course will be exclusively on the Xero application.
With this course, you will also benefit from live sessions with our expert tutors teaching online in real-time, or face-to-face in the classroom, offering maximum flexibility with your time and how you learn.
