Finished a Xero bookkeeping course, or learning Xero now? Experiencely does not sell Xero training. We give you live client books to use it on. No more courses. You've done the studying. We place you on live client books within 48 hours, working in Xero, Sage and Excel, fully remote. Three months later, you have the real accounting experience every advert asks for.
A Xero bookkeeping course usually has you practising on a demo company. That is useful, but employers can tell the difference between someone who has clicked through a demo and someone who has reconciled a real bank feed, chased missing receipts and closed a real month. If you took a Xero course online, you will know the gap.
Experiencely gives you live client books in Xero, plus Sage and Excel, with a UK business within 48 hours. Over at least 3 months, at as little as 1 hour a day, you do bank recs, ledgers, VAT and month-end tasks with a mentor reviewing your work. It is the practical step after any Xero bookkeeping course.
This is what a hiring manager screens for on a junior accounting role. Your qualification gets you to the starting line. Without commercial experience, you're one of 140 applicants per graduate role, and you look the same as everyone else.
