Onboarding Training and Assessment
At Affordable Staff, we ensure that every team member possesses a robust understanding of administrative tasks while also having a deep appreciation and comprehension of Australian business practices and cultural nuances. This dual focus ensures they are exceptionally well-prepared to support their clients effectively. All our VAs begin with general admin training that focuses on real estate, providing them with valuable context for working with Australians and a comprehensive overview of general admin competencies. This foundational training ensures that trainees are versatile and capable of supporting a wide range of administrative tasks.
Our training program for Accounts Virtual Assistants (VAs) encompasses a comprehensive suite of topics essential for proficient financial administration. The curriculum begins with foundational bookkeeping tests and a basic accounting refresher, followed by specialised modules on an introduction to Australian accounting and taxation. Trainees delve into business activities and entity reporting within Australia, learn the basics of accounting ledgers, and get acquainted with various accounting software, including Xero and MYOB. The program includes detailed steps for setting up and using these tools, covering everything from bank feeds to payroll compliance and invoice creation. VAs gain hands-on experience by processing various tasks in Xero, ensuring practical application of their learning.
Additionally, the training addresses taxation topics, including types of taxes, regulations, and laws specific to individuals and businesses in Australia. The final segment includes a thorough assessment and certifications in Xero and MYOB, ensuring that trainees are well-prepared for real-world accounting tasks.
This comprehensive approach ensures our VAs are highly skilled in both general administrative support and specialised accounting functions, making them invaluable assets to their clients.
