BookSmart: UK Bookkeeping with Xero and QuickBooks
About this course
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Running a UK business and doing your own books? This course shows you exactly how to keep clean, compliant records in Xero or QuickBooks, without an accounting background and without it eating your weekends.
It's taught by a finance director with over 20 years in finance and operations, including 18 years running the finance of a business I owned. I'm a Xero Certified Specialist and QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, and I keep the books for UK small businesses today. This is the course I wish every new client had done first.
Everything is UK-specific: VAT and Making Tax Digital, PAYE and auto-enrolment, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and Companies House deadlines. Module 1 shows the set-up on screen, and every lesson gives you the exact menu steps for both Xero and QuickBooks where they differ.
