About this course

This is a comprehensive, hands-on Financial Accounting course that takes you through everything you need to work confidently as a Financial Accountant. Rather than teaching theory in isolation, I use a mock Fintech company with real-life scenarios to walk you through AP, AR, payroll, BAS, the fixed asset register, the full month-end close, financial statement preparation and budget variance commentary. You'll work in Xero, Dext and Excel — the systems you'll actually use on the job — with three full months of transactions so you get genuine repetition rather than a single worked example. The course runs live over four weeks (18 hours total), with full recordings available on the website to re-watch any time. It's completely beginner friendly, counts towards your CPD hours, and is fully tax deductible with a tax invoice provided.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know Xero already?

No. Every Xero and Dext step is demonstrated on a mock fintech company, from the chart of accounts to the month-end journals.

What does the course actually cover?

AP, AR and bank reconciliation; payroll including first and final pay, redundancy, payroll tax and FBT; BAS and the fixed asset register; the full month-end — accruals, prepayments, provisions, intercompany and balance sheet review; budget variance commentary; and a job interview prep session with a CV and cover letter template.

Are there downloadable files?

Yes — course notes, the workbooks used in the lessons, and a CV and cover letter template for financial accountant roles.

How long do I have access?

A single payment gives you lifetime access, including every future update and revision — at no extra cost, ever. Your price is locked in: you'll never pay again for that course, even if we raise the price later. No subscription needed.

Is it live or pre-recorded?

Every course is taught live to start — with real Q&A, interaction and up-to-the-minute content — then recorded to your account so you can study at your own pace.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Once you've completed every lesson, you can download a certificate of completion from your dashboard. Some courses ask for a two-minute feedback survey first.

Does it count towards CPD?

Relevant professional development you can log against your CPA or CA CPD hours as you learn.
