Need direction.
I have been a financial planner all my career and I am 45 years old.
I am wanting to be trained as a bookkeeper
would anyone have any suggestions to do the myob course would it be sufficient to
be competent enough to get employment
Hi Brig1972
MYOB does have some great courses that will aid clients in the ability to use the MYOB Software. You can check out a list of courses on MYOB: My Academy.
Note: If you are solely looking for bookkeeping/accounting courses I would recommend speaking to your nearest education institute for courses they may offer.
Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find plenty of useful information.
You can look at the MYOB My.Academy as Steven_M suggested, but before you make any decision I would suggest that you have a read of the Tax Practioners Board's website looking at the requirements for a BAS Agent.
Being just a bookkeeper limits what you are legally able to do, even in software. For example, allocating a tax code is giving Tax advice and depending on the circumstance, if you are not a BAS or Tax agent, could be illegal to do so.
One of those requirements is a Cert IV in Bookkeeping, so you would have to at least undertake a course at a Registerd Training Organisation that offers the Cert IV Bookkeeping.
Another thing to consider would be joining a Franchise such as First Class Accounts.
I am a franchisee and have been now since 2004, and am about to renew for my 4th term.
I would not still be a franchisee if I thought I did not benefit from being one.
The training you receive is second to none as they make sure you will repesent their brand with excellence
