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.

Students who finish our course and pass get a certificate. This certificate shows you finished WLP Academy’s Xero training. It proves to employers you know how to use this business software.

WLP Academy’s Xero course doesn’t need prior knowledge. But learning basic accounting first is helpful. Business or accounting graduates are already set.

By the end of WLP Academy’s Xero accounting training, you should know: How to add and remove entries in Xero. 

Understanding how to use Xero is essential for companies now. It’s a program that makes daily accounting tasks automatic. This lets you spend more time on important things.

Xero software training is for accountants and bookkeepers that are looking to re-train and keep up-to-date with technology systems in the accounting industry.

You must have an internet connection to use Xero because it’s online. It’s different from Excel, which works offline.

Xero is compatible with the following browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer 11.

It certainly would. Xero training is designed to cover the following sectors: Retail, Construction, Information & Technology, Wholesale, Import and Export Business, Law firms.
