FAQs About How to Use Xero Software

Xero training teaches how to use Xero. We begin with easy steps like adding entries and setting expense categories. Then we move to harder tasks like handling asset depreciation.

Before we touch on Xero, our teachers explain basic accounting. You need to know accounting to use Xero. For instance, you should understand terms like “fixed asset” or how to label an R&D expense.

For instance, if a machine costs $5,000 and lasts 5 years and can be sold for $1,000 after 4 years, then yearly depreciation is ($5,000 – $1,000) / 5, or $800. This means you reduce its value by $800 every year.

Many Xero courses don’t discuss basic concepts like depreciation. But we believe understanding these basics prevents errors. So, in our Xero training, we emphasize learning accounting.

If an experienced accountant doesn’t learn Xero, they might lose their job. It’s like a banker not knowing how to use Excel; you need it to make financial predictions.

Most Singapore businesses use Xero. But many companies don’t offer training on it. So, not knowing Xero can make it hard to get an accountant job in Singapore.
