Bookkeepers and payroll staff are more than just number-crunchers; while numerical proficiency is obviously important – they face a wide variety of professional challenges and technical duties in addition to calculations – they need to be able to communicate with colleagues across the organisation, and externally.
Depending on their organisation size, bookkeepers/payroll administrators may have to deal with multiple tasks and duties at any given time, so an organised, logical approach to work will be essential. These staff work as part of a team, and therefore also need to be a flexible, creative-thinker in order to address unexpected problems and scenarios quickly and effectively.
Bookkeeping and payroll processes can sometimes be stressful in meeting staff requests and strict compliance requirements, therefore, the individual must be able to work under pressure, without compromising performance standards. Good timekeeping and an ability to meet strict deadlines is an essential part of these roles, as they will need to deliver projects/salaries, wages and payslips on time. In practice, this means being able to prioritise and delegate to ensure the task is completed to deadline.
This course will:
- Teach you the basics of bookkeeping
- Teach you skills consistent with the current principles and practices in the field
- Enhance your career prospects
- Develop your confidence and accuracy within Bookkeeping roles
- Give you the skills and knowledge to deal with multiple tasks at any given time
