Running the Books in Xero: AP/AR, Invoicing & Bank Reconciliation
Keep a client's books accurate enough for a reviewer to sign off.
Your first real jobs. You take over the day to day books for two clients and run them the way a junior in a firm would: invoicing, accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank reconciliation.
Every job goes through the full firm loop. You complete the work, submit it, receive review notes, clear them and finalise the file.
By the end, your bank reconciliation workpapers are clean enough that a reviewer would sign off on them. That is the standard, and you will know exactly what it looks like.
