Accounting Software Training

This service is for any individual or organisation running accounting software including:

  • Organisations who have just installed a new accounting system
  • Newly employed accounts people
  • Job hunters who need training
  • People who need upskilling in a new area of the program e.g inventory, job costing
  • People who need upskilling due to an upgrade e.g. bank feeds, scan bills.

What accounting software can we train you in?

  • MYOB Essentials (Accounting & Payroll)
  • MYOB AccountRight or previous versions
  • MYOB AccountEdge
  • MYOB RetailManager
  • Xero

What do we cover in the training?

  • Agree with owners/management what outputs/reports are needed from the system.
  • A training plan is useful with timings.
  • For those new to a job, we overview all areas of the program – sales, purchases, banking and general ledger but with a focus on what they will be using.
  • Whatever has been requested – we ask for a list of what you want covered.

How long does the training take?

Allow 1 – 8 hours depending on requirements, your previous knowledge and experience. In addition to one-on-one training we can also provide group training. Smaller groups are better because different staff members will have different requirements.

What experience do we have?

We have > 20 years hands on experience with accounting software.


Our consultants are experts with all the MYOB Payroll packages and Xero.


We also offer a full accounting outsourcing service. You may like to enter sales invoices but leave the rest to us. We run the GST and work with you and your accountant.

Our 'go to'

AccountAgility is our ‘go to’ when we have clients getting messed up with their MYOB files. Lynley will go in, health check the file, correct the errors and train the bookkeeper to follow best practice.

We look after the client’s tax requirements, but she will dig deep into the software to ensure the reports are reliable.

Streamlined our systems

Gow Langford Gallery is NZ’s largest privately owned art gallery. The Gallery represents over thirty established New Zealand and international artists. The accounting systems need to be able to accommodate complex transactions.

AccountAgility have worked closely with us, supporting both AccountRight and Payroll since 2012. We have streamlined our systems to eliminate additional spreadsheets and paper documents and now make maximum use of AccountRight.
