If you go quiet when numbers come up, this starts further back than you think. Journals, ledgers, GST, payroll and the reports a small business lives on, taught inside Xero and MYOB. Built for people starting from zero.
Someone has to reconcile the accounts and lodge the BAS. That job exists in every town, in every industry, in good years and bad ones.
If you already handle invoices or admin, the ledger side is the part that changes what people trust you with.
Job ads name Xero and MYOB by name. You learn both here, plus the Excel work that sits around them.
Bookkeeping work sits in three places: inside one business, inside an accounting practice, or across a handful of small clients. The day is reconciliations, invoices, payroll runs and getting the BAS out on time. It suits people who like a job that is either right or not right, with no arguing about it.
The books for one company, start to finish.
Ledger work inside a finance team.
Entries, reconciliations and the daily detail.
Getting the lodgements out on schedule.
Pay runs alongside the general accounts.
Supporting an accounting firm's client load.
Matching what the bank says to what the books say.
Accurate entry at volume.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Working as a registered BAS agent has its own separate requirements set by the Tax Practitioners Board.
Three things that make this more than a software tutorial.
The official certification is included, along with six months of MYOB access at no extra cost.
Student membership of the International Association of Bookkeepers while you study, then twelve months of full membership on completion.
A BookkeeperHQ subscription plus e-books including the AU Master Bookkeepers Guide and the Australian Master GST Guide.

No. Both are taught inside the course, and the Xero Advisor Certification is included.
Yes. It is self paced with no fixed class times, so most people work through it in the evenings.
Not on its own. Registering as a BAS agent runs through the Tax Practitioners Board and has its own education and experience requirements. What this gives you is the underlying skill: GST, payroll and reporting done correctly in the software, which is what an employer or a supervising agent needs from you.
No exams, ever. Assessment tasks sit inside the topics as you go.
It carries a Certificate of Achievement, and the college holds industry accreditation through ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. That is accreditation for professional development. The college is not an RTO and the course is not nationally recognised. Those are different things, and in bookkeeping most employers care first about whether you can drive Xero and MYOB, which is what this teaches.
Yes. A 10-day money back guarantee runs from enrolment.
You enrol in this course through The Career Academy, an online college in Australia that delivers the course itself.
The college is a Xero Partner and an MYOB Approved Education Partner, an IAB Accredited Training Provider and an AAT Approved Training Provider. It has run for over 15 years and helps more than 25,000 students a year.
Picture the quarter where the accounts balance first go, the BAS is lodged early, and nobody has to chase you for anything.
