Maybe you use Xero every day but only touch a third of it. This course was made for the rest. Fixed assets, budgets, tracking categories, projects, and the reports people keep asking you for.
You already do the invoicing and the bank rec. This is the half of Xero nobody showed you: fixed assets, budgets, tracking categories and proper reporting.
If you keep books for other people, project costing and custom report templates are the work you can charge for. Tracking categories answer the questions owners ask.
Around 15 hours, self paced, with 6 months of access. You can do this in the gaps of a busy month and still finish it.
Xero runs the books of a huge share of New Zealand businesses, and the people who know it deeply are the ones who get asked first. The work is easy to picture: the month reconciled, the budget loaded, and a report that answers the question before it is asked.
The step past data entry: fixed assets, budgets and reporting for the businesses you look after.
Preparing and analysing reports, and customising the templates they come out of. Covered directly here.
Setting a business up right, including tracking categories and project costing from day one.
Inside an accounting practice, supporting client files in Xero. Advanced features come up constantly.
Keeping the money side of a business running, using budgets, receivables and tracked reporting.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Senior and advisor titles usually go to people with bookkeeping experience behind them.
Eight topics, worked through at your own pace.
Here is what stands out in this course.
No time on setting up a chart of accounts. This picks up where the certificate ends and goes into the features most users never open.
Report preparation and analysis, plus customising templates. The difference between exporting a report and producing one with your name on it.
Costing a job, and slicing the numbers by branch, team or product. This is where Xero starts answering real business questions.

Not this one. Payroll has its own Xero course covering pay runs, payslips and filing. This one is the accounting side: assets, budgets, tracking and reporting.
It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, which is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification. That is a different thing. For Xero work it is no barrier: what employers and clients care about is whether you can drive the software.
Yes. There is a 10-day money back guarantee. If it is not right, you get your money back.

Picture the meeting where the owner asks which branch is making money and you already have the report open. Start the conversation and see if this is the step you have been putting off.
