Online Accounting Integrations Introduction Course

QuickBooks, MYOB & Xero Integrations Training Course & Certificate - Hubdoc, HubSpot, Planday, Harvest, Deputy - EzyLearn

Some people learn about integrations because they use online accounting software like Xero, MYOB Essentials and QuickBooks Online but most integrations are also stand alone software programs that provide a very specific purpose.

Cloud Accounting software is often the central software used by businesses every day to perform financial aspects of the business and Xero in particular made a concerted effort to promote the many integrations that their clients could use.

In our online training courses we explore the common Integrations that are aimed at helping automate the bookkeeping process and save accounts staff and business owners a lot of time.

Expense Tracking & Receipt Scanning

Android & iPhone picture tax invoices and receipts to MYOB Essentials using MYOB Intray and Capture App - EzyLearn Online Training CoursesData Entry is one of the most time consuming tasks for junior level bookkeepers and it is the cause of:

  • errors and omissions if performed late or not at all by small business owners.
  • low productivity because it take a lot of time
  • lack of evidence to substantiate business expense receipts

Most catch up work is based on data entry for past transactions and then matching those transactions to a category in the Chart of Accounts.

Hubdoc (owned by Xero)

Hubdoc is a Canadian company that competed against Receipt Bank (now Dext) and AutoEntry in the receipt scanning and transaction coding market. Xero has included fundamental Hubdoc features in their Xero Accounting software.

MYOB-Online-Training-Courses-Workflow-for-MYOB-Intray-Documents-receipt-scanning-and-coding-MYOB-Essentials-bank-reconciliation-training-courseMYOB In tray

Unlike Xero, MYOB have written the functionality to scan receipts and keep them as part of your accounting file within their software, just like the good old days.

Dext (ReceiptBank)

Dext is one of the most established software providers for receipt scanning, storage and data retrieval. In our consultation with bookkeepers and BAS agents as well as our support team this software appears to be the easiest to use and is the most accurate of the software available.

Rosters/Scheduling Staff & Time & Attendance

time-management-best-xero-integration-addons-apps-learn-xero-online-training-course-videos - EzyLearnManaging shifts and rosters is a time and resource management task that can easily turn into a nightmare if staff are sick or away and you have a high workload. Most business owners and managers have extra staff that they can call in if needed but scheduling the roster is just the beginning. There’s shift swapping, sick days and holidays that need to be managed.

With cloud based services and smartphone apps that anyone can use more of these tasks can be performed online and even by the staff themselves.

Once a roster for all the shifts has been created your staff must turn up, clock in and then clock out when they are finished. This either needs to be managed by someone or can be performed with the help of Time and Attendance software – just like a bundy clock or Punch Clock.

With the use of cloud-based software and apps this task is quicker and easier and much more accurate and that means that staff wages are quicker and easier to manage.

Cloud services that can help with this include:

  • Deputy
  • Planday
  • Keypay,
  • TSheets, and
  • ADI Insights

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

CRM’s are very important software programs for companies because it helps them manage their marketing, sales and account management functions. These programs help companies nurture prospects, provide good customer service to customers and forecast future income.

When you delve into how a business finds customers you begin to understand how important CRM programs are. As soon as a business receives a lead that person is in the sales and marketing pipeline and the CRM helps the sales staff build trust with the buyer to get them to make a purchase.

CRM’s keep a record of all correspondence and marketing messages which have been sent to a person and enables sales people to get them from the lead side of the pipeline to the customer side. Once they are a customer a good CRM also helps sales people manage the ongoing client relationship for the ongoing sale of products and services.

Some CRM’s we cover include:

  • BatchBook
  • HubSpot
  • Zoho CRM
  • FreshSales

Point of Sale (POS)

Square-POS-terminal-and-contactless-card-reader-at-GABS-in-Sydney-MYOB-Xero-QuickBooks-Training-CoursesPoint of Sale software enables a customer to swipe their card to make a purchase. This can be something very simple using a smartphone and a card reader from a payment provider like PayPal or Square or a complex system used in cafe’s a restaurants like Lightspeed.

Point of Sale Systems can themselves be integrated with inventory and stock management systems to automatically deduct products from inventory levels so business owners have live and up to the minute stock information.

Point of Sale Systems include:

  • Square
  • Vend
  • Lightspeed

Payments

Payment Integrations for Xero App Store Marketplace - Square, PayPal, Stripe - Learn how to use Xero - EzyLearnA decade ago most businesses used their bank merchant services to receive payments via Credit Cards, EFTPOS and Debit Cards and it often included expensive monthly fees, transaction fees and bulky hardware.

The ability to receive credit card payments is now critical for all businesses includes professional and trades services providers. Luckily some innovative technology companies have reduced the costs massively and increased the flexibility.

Most of these apps can be used as stand alone apps and even provide basic accounting functions like quoting and invoicing.

Popular Payment integrations include:

  • PayPal
  • Stripe
  • Square

Project Management Apps

Building and Construction companies and some trades organisations provide products, services and project management to their clients. These projects are often complicated, require teams of people at dedicated times and to reach certain milestones.

Project Management Software pulls all aspects of a job together and includes the ability to cost each milestone to ensure it is profitable.

Popular Project Management Integrations include:

  • WorkflowMax
  • Zoho Projects
  • Fergus
  • ProWorkFlow

Debtor and Accounts Receivable Apps

QuickFee-buy-now-pay-later-Integration-for Debtor Management in Xero App Store Marketplace-Learn how to use Xero - EzyLearnIn the true nature of innovation these companies recognise the time, effort and emotion involved in contact customers to receive payment for outstanding invoices. When these tasks are performed by a person it can get frustrating because the customer doesn’t answer their phone, makes excuses or says they simply can’t afford it.

An unemotional system and procedure becomes even more important where a business has clients with ongoing work because you have to balance the sales and marketing team who want to sell more products and services and the accounts department who want to get paid.

Popular Debtor Management Integrations include:

  • ezyCollect
  • Chaser
  • Debtor Daddy
  • QuickFee

One of the most time consuming tasks that bookkeepers and accounting staff need to perform is matching of transactions from bank feeds from the bank account to the actual transactions in the accounting software.

Although bank feeds save a lot of time by reducing the amount of data entry performed by junior bookkeepers you still need to match a payment or deposit in your bank account with the actual sales transaction.

Accounting and Office Jobs, Roles and Responsibilities

This list of accounting and office administration position descriptions show a logical career progression for jobs in this industry.

Data Entry, Word Processing & Records Management Jobs

Data Entry Jobs are considered the entry level office jobs because they focus around the use of Office software and entering data into computer systems.

Data Entry jobs are centred around the entry, accuracy, integrity and the use of that data and systems that manage that data.

Although data entry jobs are considered as entry level jobs there are some industries, such as funds management and superannuation where the information is very important and confident and requires extra skills.

Data Entry, Word Processing & Records Management Job Descriptions & Courses

Office Administration & Office Support Jobs

account set up with xero online training learning course

Data entry and Office Support jobs are found in most businesses with 3 staff or higher because the work involves helping to co-ordinate and support the work performed by different staff members as well as the administration, filing, customer service and reporting for the business owner.

These jobs are popular with mums and parents and are a good entry point as they don’t often required very specialist knowledge and experience so they can be performed after completing a short course or vocational certificate courses.

Common tasks for this type of job are:

  • Data entry of work order information
  • Customer service via phone or email
  • Preparing and maintaining spreadsheet data
  • General administration duties
  • Filing of paperwork and digital files
  • Maintaining office supplies
  • Assisting with and updating daily, weekly and monthly reports
  • Assisting management, accounting and administration teams
  • Exposure to beginner level knowledge of accounting software

Most these skills can be learnt in our Microsoft Office and Accounting Courses

The best courses for skills and practice examples for data entry, reception and office junior types roles are based on solid skills in Microsoft Word and Excel.

Office Administration & Office Support Job Description & Courses

Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable Officer

Accounts receivable and payable officers perform two very different, yet important, functions in a business; rarely, are the two roles performed by the same person.

Xero Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable & Data Entry & Credit Management Training Course 502

Accounts receivable officers manage the payments coming into a business — invoices, sales receipts, customer payments; while the accounts payable officer is responsible for all outgoing payments — payments to suppliers and vendors and all other outgoing expenses.

Credit Management Jobs

The two roles generally fall within a company’s credit management framework — that is, the process and procedures set up to manage a business’ cash flow, including how and when the business is paid, and how and what the business spends its money on.

Sometimes these procedures are divided between the two roles (i.e., chasing late-payers would be the responsibility of the accounts receivable officer); other times, a credit manager will oversee the credit management policy within the business (i.e., assessing customers’ credit worthiness, managing customer credit files, investigating credit issues, liaising with collection agencies).

Tasks of an accounts receivable officer:

  • Records, verifies and enters customer payments in accounting software
  • Reconciles accounts receivable ledger
  • Prepare customer / client statements, invoices and bills
  • Follow-up on outstanding / overdue customer statements, invoices and bills
  • Implement customer payment plans where appropriate
  • Coordinate contact with collections agency where appropriate
  • Prepare reports and perform other administrative duties.

Tasks of an accounts payable officer :

  • Review, verify and pay invoices from suppliers and vendors
  • Verify vendor and supplier accounts by checking ABN and ACN numbers
  • Disburse petty cash by recording the entry, verifying documentation
  • Arrange payment plans with suppliers and vendors where appropriate
  • Prepare reports and perform other administrative duties.

Best courses for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable Jobs

The best skills to have to be confident in applying for these junior accounting roles are based around the most popular accounting programs used in Australia (MYOB, Xero and QuickBooks Online).

See our Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Training Courses

Payroll Officer

The role of a payroll officer sits within the accounts team, though their tasks and duties are distinctly different to the accounts receivable / payable officer or credit manager’s. The payroll officer may, however, work with a company’s human resources department, especially with regard to onboarding new hires and offboarding department employees.

17-Payroll-activity-summary-Payroll Course in Xero, MYOB QuickBooks Online

Tasks of a payroll officer:

  • Process all payroll transactions based on employee timesheets and employment contracts
  • Collect and update employee information to maintain payroll records
  • Compile summaries of earnings, taxes, deductions, leave entitlements, disability, and non-taxable wages
  • Resolve payroll discrepancies
  • Calculate payroll liabilities, such as payroll tax, workers’ compensation payments, etc
  • Prepare reports and perform other administrative duties.

Accounts Administrator job description

An accounts administrator is responsible for a company’s entire accounting work, including bookkeeping, invoicing, and payroll. In some organisations, the accounts administrator fills a managerial role, overseeing the business’ bookkeepers and other accounting staff.

An accounts administrator will typically be tertiary educated, holding at least a bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting or other relevant field, and have a minimum of five years experience in a similar role.

The accounts administrator role is typically broken up into four key areas — although, as explained earlier, it may serve as a managerial role, overseeing these key areas.

  • Reconciles accounts receivable ledger
  • Prepare customer / client statements, invoices and bills
  • Follow-up on outstanding / overdue customer statements, invoices and bills
  • Implement customer payment plans where appropriate

  • Update cash flow schedule and monitor cash flow requirements
  • Foreign currency payments (if any)
  • Monthly reconciliation of general ledger accounts as required
  • Analysis of general ledger accounts to assist with annual budgeting process
  • Assist with the preparation of the annual budget
  • Update invoice and billing templates in account software
  • Input annual price changes to fee and services in accounting software
  • Assist with general accounting and other administrative duties as required
  • Provide information to external auditors as required.

Payroll Administration

  • Compile summaries of earnings, taxes, deductions, leave entitlements, disability, and non-taxable wages
  • Resolve payroll discrepancies
  • Calculate payroll liabilities, such as payroll tax, workers’ compensation payments, etc
  • Prepare reports and perform other administrative duties.

Accounts administrators must have a thorough understanding of most accounting packages, such as MYOB, Xero and QuickBooks; while it may also help to understand more complex systems, such as Greentree and other enterprise reporting programs.

Office & Business Administrator job description

Become confident using Microsoft Office Excel, Word, PowerPoint & Outlook online training courses

An office administrator (sometimes called an office manager) ensures that all the administrative activities within an organisation are running efficiently, sometimes by overseeing and supervising other employees within the business.

The office administrator may oversee and be responsible for the management of human resources, budgets and business or financial records. These responsibilities will differ depending on the employer and education level of the office administrator.

Some roles that overlap with the office administrator role include:

  • Receptionists, who are responsible for greeting clients and suppliers, providing customer service, managing and maintaining the office filing system, sorting mail, and other general administrative duties, such as maintaining office supplies and equipment
  • Personal assistants, who provide secretarial and administrative support to a senior stakeholder in the business — the chief executive, managing director or other C-level employees.

The typical tasks of an office administrator include:

  • Accounting tasks, such as invoicing, budgeting and general bookkeeping
  • Scheduling and arrangement meetings and travel and accommodation for senior executives
  • Prepare and setup for meetings, including the provision of refreshments and catering
  • Ordering office supplies and equipment
  • Onboarding and training new employees in correct WHS procedures
  • Overseeing the building maintenance, such as engaging tradespeople and cleaning services
  • Collect and verify employee timesheets for the payroll officer
  • Filing and other administrative tasks, such as sorting mail, receiving and arranging deliveries.

Typically, an office administrator will have previous experience in a senior finance role, but may have previous experience in an entry-level position, such as an administrative assistant, receptionist or personal assistant.

Xero Accounting Training Course (517) – Advanced Certificate (Project Tracking and Reporting)

Xero Advanced Certificate Training Short Course - Project Tracking & Reporting - EzyLearn

Xero Projects Cloud Accounting Training Course Case Study: Projects and Job Tracking

This case study demonstrates how, by using popular cloud accounting program Xero, you can tightly control the ways a business might incur additional costs during a typical small building project.

 

Garden shed-on-slab example

Job Tracking, Projects in Xero, MYOB AccountRight & QuickBooks Online Training Courses to report profits for tradies and builders - garden shed

Col Western Sheds

Let’s consider the simple task of erecting a 3m x 3m garden shed. As long as the shed fits within certain parameters, like height, distance from boundary and so forth, it will be exempt from council Development Applications (DA’s). In this way, any handyperson (and even the not so handy) can generally erect one.

Looks simple but can take days and several tradespeople

A typical backyard garden shed may look simple enough to build, according to websites from the shed manufacturers and hardware retailers like Bunnings. However, they’re a little complex for the average homeowner. We’ll demonstrate the steps and typical scenarios that tradespeople go through. We will keep track of the income and costs using Job Tracking and Projects in our cloud accounting courses.

The following steps will be involved in the backyard shed erection:

  1. concrete slab with drop edge beam for Job tracking and projects in cloud accounting bookkeeping training coursesMeasure size and slope of land
  2. Estimate how deep the land needs to be dug
  3. Work out how much reinforcement is needed
  4. How many bags of cement are needed?
  5. What type of cement mixer?
  6. Tools needed to complete the project
  7. Time for completion
  8. How many tradespeople are needed and when are they available?
  9. Whether the shed is onsite or does it need to be collected and delivered?
  10. Is there power to the site?
  11. What is the weather going to be like?

Many tradespeople will have many of the items required as stock items. In our scenario we assume that the builder has 10 bags of cement.

Expenses and trips to Bunnings or Mitre 10

tradie pouring concrete for concrete slab for garden shed - project and job tracking in cloud accounting bookkeeping training courses (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks)If you’ve ever had a handyman or tradesperson come to work at your house, you may have experienced that sometimes they won’t always have the tools, equipment or parts with them. Also, sometimes these tools and equipment can break.

Trips back and forth to the hardware cost the builder or handyman by way of an unplanned cost. This cost is paid using cash, credit card and/or sometimes on an account. How do you keep track of these expenses?

Another spanner in the works can be lack of power to the work site. Or sometimes the builder may need to wait for some of the parts to arrive, or they will need to organise to go and collect them.

In our training course scenario, the tradesperson will need to use his vehicle and two other people to collect the garage shed from Cardiff (in Newcastle) as the home owner didn’t want to pay the shed company $200 to have it delivered.

The $600 cost of the shed is tiny compared to the labour and slab

So now you understand more about what’s involved in a simple building job, let’s do the transactions so you can understand why it’s so important to keep a tight control of time and costs.

Key elements in this case study are:

  1. Some of the products needed are in stock, but more will need to be bought to complete the job
  2. It takes two hours for the grass to be dug up and put aside
  3. A trip needs to be made to the hardware shop for wood and nails for the formwork
  4. The formwork takes two hours to build
  5. One of the tradespeople has to go to Bunnings again to get the reinforcement and plastic sheeting
  6. It rains so they must leave the project for the day, after assembling the formwork
  7. They come back two days later (after completing another indoors job) and fill the formwork with concrete, bringing 10 bags of concrete from the depot and collecting another 10 bags from Mitre 10 on the way
  8. They fill the concrete and smooth it over then leave for the day
  9. Next Monday morning they go to the shed retailer and collect the shed to deliver it to the site (two hours in total after confirming that it has been paid and they have the right one – with the two sliding doors)
  10. They arrive at site and realise that their tools have no power; they need to ask the neighbour for use of their power and an extension cord
  11. They assemble the main outside frame but realise they need a third person and call for one of their workmates who is working 25 minutes away
  12. The 3rd worker is onsite for 30 minutes and the shed is fully assembled with roof and all.

Bookkeeping Introduction – Accounting Beginner Basics Training Course Workbook

Every accounting program has this accounting information in common

THERE ARE A whole lot of things that all accounting software programs — whether MYOBXeroQuickbooks or some other accounting package — have in common.

These being to help businesses:

  • manage their transactions
  • keep track of money owed to them, or by them to others
  • pay their employees and contractors
  • provide financial reports at the end of each month, quarter and financial year.

Introduction to Bookkeeping Beginner Basics — yours for FREE!

Introduction to Bookkeeping-Beginner Basics-Training-course-workbook-Free-Education-Guide

Confused about Chart of Accounts, General Ledger and Trial Balance?

For non-bookkeeping types these terms can send shivers down the spine, or make your eyes glaze over — but they are the foundation of all account keeping records and every business relies on these processes.

To this end, Jacci, our BAS agent, has created a free Introduction to Bookkeeeping Training Course education guide covering these aspects of accounting in plain English and a simple format. It’s titled, Bookkeeping Basics.

We believe that if people enrol in courses armed with some basic information, it fits with our goals of helping our students become better bookkeepers while getting the most out of the learning experience.

It’s also a great resource for small business owners who want to better understand the accounting aspects of their business!

These Accounting basics training video tutorials are included in the free sample:

What’s Cash vs Accrual, Debit-Credit, Income and Expenses?

Find terms like these a little confusing, or don’t really know what they mean? Cash and Accrual relates to the paying of your taxes; this can be on the date you invoiced for the services or the date you received the money in your bank account. Debit-Credit  and Income and Expenses relates to whether an account increases or decreases, but will vary depending on whether it is a credit account or an asset account.

Getting a little lost already? Don’t worry, we cover all of this in our free Bookkeeping Basics Guide.

Then came the GST

The introduction of the GST made all of this a little more complicated, as the tax codes associated with primary produce (FRE) and financial transactions are not taxed like contributions to Super (N-T). Again, it’s covered in Bookkeeping Basics; absolutely free.

The Cash to Cash Cycle

This concept is most relevant for businesses which buy and hold stock and then sell it to customers and give them credit terms to pay. Although this doesn’t apply to all businesses it is a fantastic example of how accounting principles are applied to transactions and why. See the video on credit control.
