Community Engagement – XERO software training
On Thursday, 12 May 2016 Keeping Company launched a new concept of education workshops with a group of talented and passionate youth at Vibewire headquarters in Ultimo going over XERO software training and other accounting and tax problems that Start ups face.
Vibewire, established by Tom Dawkins (@tomjd) in his uni days back in 2000, is a co-working environment for creative entrepreneurs. This Sydney not-for-profit organisation, acts as a launch pad for young people to provide the resources, networks and programs needed to enable them to do “awesome things” with their business ideas.
Sharing Tom’s beliefs, the first instalment “Accounting and Tax for Start-Ups” was presented to this group by our Director, Ryan Miller. The topics covered included and Introduction to Cloud Accounting and XERO, obligations and dealing with the ATO, what structure is best for me, contractors and superannuation.
Accounting and Taxation for Start-Ups
The Keeping Company program has been put together by experts and contains core elements, strategies and insight from accounting, taxation and business management.
The aim is to equip these young people with the skills necessary to manage the finances of a small to medium business using the world’s most beautiful accounting software, Xero. Use Xero to quickly create sales invoices, purchase orders, manage inventory and to take care of tax and compliance obligations such as the Business Activity Statement (BAS).
Future workshops have been scheduled at the request of enthusiastic attendees to include topical matters such as tax deductions, depreciation and fixed assets, business names and registrations, employing people, tax invoice layout, ASIC and more….
