Bookkeeping Confidence for NZ Business Owners
Master your numbers. Ditch the overwhelm.
This course was built for real business owners, not accountants, not finance grads, and definitely not people with time to spare.
Whether you’re a freelancer, franchisee, or small biz operator, you’ll learn how to confidently manage your own books using Xero even if you’re “not a numbers person.”
Here’s what you’ll master:
Chapter 1: Financial Reports Demystified
Gross vs net profit, balance sheets, P&L… we break it all down, so you can actually use your reports to make decisions.
Chapter 2: GST + Legal Obligations
What you can claim, what you can’t, and how to use Xero to file GST the right way, minus the panic.
Chapter 3: Transactions, Assets & Xero Know-How
The technical side of transactions, depreciation, sales/purchase coding, and all the stuff that makes the difference between clean books and accountant side-eye.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to:
Set up a Chart of Accounts that doesn’t turn into a mess later
Avoid the most common coding errors that cost NZ business owners money
Use Xero efficiently, even if you’ve never logged in before
Keep your books tidy, compliant, and ready for your accountant (or IRD)
Who it’s for:
✅ Time-poor business owners
✅ New to Xero
✅ Sick of winging it and hoping the numbers are right
✅ Want to reduce what they pay the accountant by doing it properly upfront
