Bookcert Sage Training CD
®
Sage® bookkeeping software is used by over 5 million businesses worldwide and is the most popular bookkeeping software package in the UK. This is not surprising given the benefits and flexibility it offers a business using it.
Every business has different bookkeeping requirements. For a smaller business with relatively straightforward and basic bookkeeping needs, you can use a cash book program such as Bookcert Pro (included in the Kit) or a manual Simplex D Accounts Book. For bookkeepers starting out or for those wanting to provide bookkeeping services to small businesses only, these are ideal for recording the business transactions, and enable you to provide a cost effective service to your clients.
However, as your bookkeeping business grows you may take on larger clients who want to maintain sales and purchase ledgers for credit control purposes. Sage software is ideal for these jobs, particularly Sage 50 Accounts, and makes other bookkeeping tasks you perform such as producing VAT returns and reconciling bank accounts much easier. Sage also offers a wide range of reporting options which your clients can use for both day to day and strategic management.
Therefore being able to use Sage software is a major commercial advantage for you as a bookkeeper.
For this reason we have produced the NEW Bookcert Sage Training CD which now comes as a key component of the Bookcert Business Kit.
The Bookcert Sage Training CD is like having an expert Sage trainer standing over your shoulder, walking you through and explaining all the important features of Sage 50 Accounts. The tutorials on the CD contain dialog from a Chartered Certified Accountant experienced in providing Sage training. You will watch a recorded movie of the accountant’s menu selections, mouse clicks, and keyboard entries.
The CD has been designed to be a reference tool for any bookkeeper wanting to use Sage 50 Accounts. The CD is completely flexible; you can stop it, start it, pause it or replay sections as many times as you wish. If you are using Sage and come across a problem, you can simply pop the CD into your computer and watch the topic that covers your need, it’s that simple!
The CD is ideal for both novice and experienced Sage users. The CD assumes no prior Sage knowledge providing a great foundation in basic Sage skills and tasks. However, because an experienced Chartered Certified Accountant is teaching you, you will also learn more advanced techniques which many bookkeepers and small businesses using Sage will not be aware of. For example, you will learn how to correctly use the different control accounts and how to use the software as a key reporting tool for your clients. The CD also covers how to account for the accountants opening balance adjustments following your client’s year end.
