Training that sticks

Most accounting training fails for one reason: it is generic, theoretical and forgotten by the following week. We do it differently. Our training is practical, jargon-free and built around your business and your own software, so people leave able to do the job, not just nod along. As chartered accountants serving Mullingar, Longford, Trim and Athlone, we explain the financial side of business in plain terms.

Whether you want to read your own numbers with confidence or get your staff up to speed on the books, training is one of the cheapest, most effective investments you can make in your finance function.

What we can train you on

We shape every session around what you and your team actually need, rather than working through a fixed syllabus. Common areas include:

• Bookkeeping basics, recording transactions correctly so the figures are right from the start.
• Accounting software, getting confident with your day-to-day tasks in Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or whatever you run.
• VAT and payroll fundamentals, enough to understand what is happening and avoid common mistakes.
• Reading your accounts, understanding what your profit and loss, balance sheet and management accounts are telling you.
• Financial controls, simple, sound processes that protect the business and keep the books clean.

Built around your business

Generic courses teach generic examples. We train on your system, with your data, on the tasks your people actually do. That is why it sticks, there is no translation step between the classroom and the desk.

We pitch the content to the right level too. A session for an owner who wants to understand the bottom line looks very different from one for a bookkeeper learning the software, and both are more useful for being tailored.

Where training fits

Training rarely stands alone. It is the natural companion to our accounting systems and computerisation work, there is little point in good software if the team is not comfortable using it. It supports better bookkeeping, because clean books start with people who know what they are doing. And it underpins business risk management, since many financial risks come down to processes and controls that staff need to understand and follow.

Good training also tends to make the whole relationship with your accountant work better. When your team records things correctly through the year, your accounts, VAT and payroll all run more smoothly, and year-end is far less of a scramble.

Local, in person or remote

We can deliver training at your premises, at our offices or online, whatever fits around running the business. Hands-on, real-data sessions are usually the most valuable, and we are happy to come to you.
