Accounting Software Training and Systems support
Friendly, practical accounting software training and systems support for small businesses that want clearer processes, better information and more confidence using their bookkeeping systems.
Accounting software should make life easier.
If your system feels confusing, clunky or doesn’t give you the information you need, it may not be set up in the right way for your business. Or you may simply need someone to show you how to use it in a way that makes sense.
The Accountant’s Best Friend can help with accounting software training, systems advice, app support and software migrations, helping you get more from the tools your business relies on.
You don’t need to know all the features. You need to know what matters for your business, your records and the decisions you’re trying to make.
“You’ll know you’ve got the right software when bookkeeping is easier, not more confusing.
I’ll help you understand what’s working, what’s not and what would genuinely help.”
Donna Beddis, The Accountant’s Best Friend
Everyday records
When your accounting software isn’t working for you
Not sure whether your current accounting software is still right for you?
You might be using Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or another bookkeeping platform, but still feel unsure whether it’s set up properly. Perhaps the reports don’t make sense, processes take too long or you’re not confident that the information in the system is accurate.
TABF can talk it through with you.
TABF can review how your system is being used, understand what’s causing frustration and help you work out what needs to change.
Sometimes that means better training. Sometimes it means adjusting the setup. Sometimes it means using apps and automations more effectively. And sometimes it means considering whether a move to another platform would make life easier.
Accounting software training
Software training should be practical, clear and built around what you actually need to do.
TABF can provide accounting software training for small business owners, sole traders, landlords and teams who want to feel more confident using their bookkeeping systems.
This can include:
- Training on Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or other systems
- Help understanding day-to-day bookkeeping tasks
- Support with invoicing, expenses and bank transactions
- Guidance on reports and financial information
- Training for you or your team
- Remote training where suitable
- Recorded training sessions where helpful
- Practical explanations that match your business goals
You don’t need to become an accountant.
The point is to help you understand the parts of the system that matter to you, so you can manage your records more confidently and get better information from your software.

Systems advice for small businesses
Choosing or improving accounting software can feel overwhelming.
There are lots of systems, add-ons and apps available, but the right answer depends on how your business works, what information you need and what you’re trying to improve.
TABF can provide systems advice to help you review your current setup and decide what makes sense.
This can include:
Reviewing your current accounting software
Checking whether your setup supports your business properly
Looking at add-ons and connected apps
Considering budget, compatibility and existing processes
Helping you decide whether changing software would be useful
Improving how information flows through your system
Making your bookkeeping process easier to manage
Good systems advice isn’t about recommending software because it’s popular.
It’s about understanding what your business needs, what’s making life harder and what would genuinely help.
Working together
Apps, add-ons and automation
Apps and automations can save time, but only when they’re genuinely useful.
The right tools can help reduce manual admin, improve how information reaches your bookkeeping system and make it easier to keep records up to date. The wrong tools can add confusion and create more work.
TABF can help you review whether apps, add-ons or automations could support your bookkeeping process.
This might include looking at:
- Receipt capture tools
- Bank feeds
- Invoicing processes
- Payroll connections
- Point of sale integrations
- Reporting tools
- Workflow improvements
- Automations that reduce repeated admin
The goal isn’t to make your system more complicated.
It’s to make everyday bookkeeping easier and give you information you can actually rely on.
Working alongside your advisor
Support if you want to do more yourself
Some business owners want to outsource everything.
Others want to understand their software better so they can manage some or all of the bookkeeping themselves.
Both are fine.
TABF can help at a pace that suits you, whether you need full support, one-off guidance or training that helps you gradually build confidence.
TABF can explain things clearly, answer questions and help you understand how your system should work for your business.
Support alongside your accountant
You may already have an accountant who prepares your accounts or tax returns, but still need help with the systems and records behind the numbers.
TABF can work alongside your existing accountant, helping improve your bookkeeping system so your accountant gets better information and you get clearer data during the year.
This can make year-end smoother, reduce time spent unpicking messy records and help you make better decisions with more reliable information.
Who this is for
When to ask for accounting systems support
It may be time to review your accounting software or systems if you don’t trust the information in your bookkeeping system, you’re unsure how to use key features, your reports don’t make sense, or you’re spending too much time on manual administration.
You may also benefit from a review if your bookkeeping is falling behind, your accountant keeps asking for missing information, you’re considering moving to a different software platform, your team needs training, or your current setup no longer suits your business.
You don’t need to know the answer before getting in touch. Start with the part that’s frustrating you. TABF can help you work out whether the issue is your training, setup, processes, software, or a combination of all four.
