The eight courses

A junior accountant's first year.

The program runs in order. Every course builds on the last, and every course adds a portfolio piece.

  1. 01

    Bookkeeping Foundations in Xero

    Free

    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.

  2. 02

    Welcome to the Firm: How Public Practice Works

    Step inside an Australian accounting firm before your first day.

    Most graduates walk into their first firm job with no idea how the place actually runs. This course fixes that before it costs you.

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    Payroll & STP in Xero

    Run payroll from start to finish, the way a firm needs it done.

    Payroll is the job that scares new juniors most, because mistakes affect real people's pay. This course takes the fear out of it.

  5. 05

    GST & BAS in Xero: Preparation to Lodgement

    Prepare, reconcile and lodge a BAS for three clients at once.

    BAS work is the bread and butter of every Australian firm, and it is where juniors earn their keep. This course puts you on BAS jobs for three different clients at the same time, exactly like a real quarter in practice.

  6. 06

    Closing the Year: Month-End, Adjustments & Financial Statements

    Turn a messy ledger into a finished set of financial statements.

    This is where bookkeeping becomes accounting. You take a full year of client data, close it properly, and produce a set of financial statements a partner could put in front of the client.

  7. 07

    Tax Returns & the Capstone Job

    Prepare individual, sole trader and company tax workpapers, then own a full client job end to end.

    The final technical course, and the biggest test. You prepare tax workpapers for an individual, a sole trader and a company, learning how returns are built inside a firm.

  8. 08

    Career Launch: From Portfolio to Applying

    Package your portfolio, sharpen your resume and walk into interviews ready.

    The work is done. Now you turn it into a job search that stands out.

The firm review system

The same five steps a firm uses, every job.

You don't just learn. You complete jobs, submit them, clear review notes, and finalise — just like a junior inside a firm.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Start with the source documents and build the workpaper.

  2. 02

    Submit

    Upload your work to the review queue exactly like a junior.

  3. 03

    Review notes

    Receive written feedback the way a senior would write it.

  4. 04

    Clear

    Fix the notes, resubmit, and learn the standard.

  5. 05

    Finalise

    Sign off the job and add it to your portfolio.

Your portfolio

Everything you do becomes a portfolio piece.

By the end of the program you have a complete portfolio you can put in front of any Australian firm owner.

  • Bank reconciliation workpapers

    Clean, reviewed recs in Xero for multiple clients.

  • Payroll through STP

    A full payroll year reconciled and reported.

  • BAS packages

  • Financial statements

    A reviewed financial statements package.
