Our program combines practical accounting fundamentals with real-world business applications. You'll work with actual case studies from Australian small businesses, learning to handle everything from daily bookkeeping to strategic financial planning.
We focus on building confidence with numbers — something many business owners struggle with. Rather than abstract theory, you'll practice with scenarios you're likely to encounter: managing cash flow during seasonal fluctuations, preparing for tax obligations, and creating budgets that actually work.
- Hands-on practice with QuickBooks and Xero software
- Real case studies from Australian businesses
- Small group sessions with personalized feedback
- Flexible evening and weekend scheduling
- Ongoing support after program completion
