Our nationally recognised FNS40222 Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping is designed to provide you with a strong range of accounting skills to start your own business or register as a Business Activity Statement (BAS) Agent. No, we prefer to use popular cloud-based accounting software, Reckon One. Reckon One provides you with unlimited time where Xero does not. The Xero trial is only for one month and if you need to reassess after one month period, then you would need to start the whole set up again from the beginning. Very frustrating! Instead, Open Colleges has established a partnership with Reckon to provide our students with additional learning opportunities during their enrolment. This way, you will graduate with a unique set of skills using cloud-based accounting software relevant to the current financial services environment.Reckon One is a cloud-based accounting software suitable for Accountants and Bookkeepers.Benefits for OC students:
