Bookkeeping Foundations in Xero
New to this? Start here. Learn the real basics of bookkeeping in Xero, completely free.
This is where every Launchpad student starts. Ten modules that take you from zero to comfortable inside Xero, using a real Australian small business as your example the whole way through.
You will see how a firm thinks about the compliance cycle, how double entry actually works in practice, and how sales, purchases, GST, payroll and bank reconciliation fit together into one system.
It is free because we want you to experience the Launchpad way of teaching before you spend a dollar.
