Cambridge Bookkeeping Case Study
Problem
Louisa had just started doing the bookkeeping for a new client prior to lockdown but now needed to learn a cloud based alternative accounting software. She had a VAT return looming and lots to catch up on and needed help fast.
All the local Xero trainers Louisa contacted could not help her as the lessons are usually classroom based which were not allowed during lockdown. Louisa contacted her friend Fay Wallis as she is a member of Sutton BNI and she hoped she might know someone.
As it turned out Paul Cain is in the same BNI Chapter as Fay and it was an easy introduction for her to make.
Solution
Paul contacted Louisa and scheduled in 5-hour long sessions via Zoom for Xero and Hubdoc training so distance and meeting in person was not an issue.
The Zoom training sessions were broken down for each module (Hubdoc & Setup, Contacts, Bank, Financials and Expenses. The sessions were all booked in advance at times to suit her busy schedule and the training was all at Louisa’s pace. Louisa booked in an extra session to go through filing her client’s VAT return, so she had peace of mind.
At the end of the course Louisa felt confident to take on more client’s bookkeeping using Xero and Hubdoc which was music to Paul’s ears.
In Our Client’s Words:
Paul was recommended to me by a friend. I decided to give remote training a go as had recently set up a client with Xero and felt that some one to one training would give me a better understanding of the software. This proved to be a great decision. Paul walked through the whole process over a period of initially four lessons.
He works at your pace and answers any questions clearly, by screen sharing he was able to point his way around the software & we worked through all the elements that Xero offers. We booked the days and times to train to suit what I had to get done for my client, so I was working on actual documents rather than test ones.
I also came away feeling that I would be happy to offer my services to other clients and get them set up with this amazing package. Leaning Hubdoc that compliments Xero was truly a revelation. It has allowed me to work completely remotely and enabled my client to work more efficiently. Paul also produced a set of accompanying notes that has assisted when you need to have a refresh.
I know zoom has now reached many more users than before, I have to say the video and sound quality is excellent and with Pauls smiley face on your screen makes training remotely just as good as a training room!
