Xero is an online accounting software for small businesses.

In this course you will learn:

• How to enter company settings and customise the chart of accounts
• Create customer and supplier contacts
• Manage purchases and make payments including batch payments

As Xero is a cloud-based accounting program it is important that each student has signed up to Xero (either a full subscription or the trial version, which will last for 30 days) and has access to it, as we are using the demo company that is provided by Xero.
