Beginners to Advanced Certificate Courses in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online

Payroll is an important part of every business and often contributes to 30% of the total expenses for an organisation. Companies use numerous programs to Hire and Manage their staff and more and more of these functions are available with the payroll software the companies use.

These are topics which are important to learn when applying for work or managing tasks in the role of an office administrator or payroll officer.

Payroll Training Courses

Cloud-based accounting software is always up-to-date so PAYG tables and other information like Superannuation percentages are included with the software with no need to go through an updating/upgrading process.

The downside for micro businesses is that you can’t just buy the software once and keep using it for basic bookkeeping tasks like quoting, invoicing and purchases.

There are many benefits of Cloud-based accounting software and one is that bookkeepers/accountants can perform Payroll processing tasks from anywhere.

These payroll training courses are ideal for:

• Job seekers
• Business owners & office admin staff
• Junior accounts staff who want career progression

Payroll Software and HR Integrations

The biggest advantage for online, cloud-based accounting and payroll software is the ability to “integrate” with many other apps and systems that each perform very specific tasks.

Intuit (QuickBooks) and Xero are well known for buying up some of the software integration programs that link with them, including TSheets (Intuit) and Planday (Xero).

MYOB is owned by an US private equity company and are continuously trying to combine their MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Essentials software into one main login interface. MYOB Essentials is their online-accounting version and has a similar number of integrations to Xero and QuickBooks Online.
