The Ultimate Xero Course
Where you will master Xero without getting stuck!
Hi I'm Mark Cunningham
AND I MADE THIS COURSE FOR YOU
My Xero journey started with a shockingly basic $900 course that left me frustrated with its lack of quality.
I couldn’t believe that something so expensive could lack so much depth, so I decided to create something better.
Using my 25+ years of accounting expertise and the many hours I invested into mastering Xero, I created The Ultimate Xero Course.
This course is perfect for you if you are:
Looking to get Xero up and running as quickly as possible for your business
New to Xero and don't know where to start
Still learning Xero but keep getting stuck
If you're ready to transform your Xero game, sign up today to the best online Xero course in Australia!
"I made this course so you could learn Xero the right way and all in one place." - Mark Cunningham
Thousands of Business Owners Have Learned Xero With Us
And here's what some of them have said...
I Love That It's Australian
"I don't often feel compelled to review courses etc but I really wanted to thank you so much for your course content. It's brilliant!
So easy to follow and I often open particular sections of your course to brush up on certain skills I have not dealt with either at all or for a long while. Lots of play and pause while I follow the steps in my own data file.
I was watching something yesterday in payroll and really appreciated the links you provided to the relevant ATO web pages as well.
Your presentation is so good with really simple but comprehensive, easy to follow instructions.
I certainly love the fact that you speak from an Australian view point as well and just deal with the facts and not the sales pitch.
Congratulations and thank you!"

Best By a Long Way
"Like you I have been really frustrated by other course content - yours is the best, and by a long way.
I did a Xero course in Perth several years ago which was overwhelming and unhelpful.
I recently was accessing some online presenters but again did not find it relevant and seemed to be full of fluff rather than content.
I also find the online courses by Xero very unhelpful.
My background is very experienced in MYOB and I have only recently transitioned to using Xero.
It's been a lot to master Xero but it's certainly helped having your course.
I really hope you have success - brilliant!"

Got Questions?
The Ultimate Xero Course is designed specifically for Australian small business owners who want to efficiently manage their bookkeeping with Xero without formal bookkeeping training. Whether you're a tradesperson, freelancer, cafe owner, or builder, this course will help you master Xero with ease.
You'll gain comprehensive knowledge, from setup to essential functions like payroll and bank reconciliations. The self-pcaed learning requires clear and practical bookkeeping skills for small business owners, free from complex jargon and irrelevent details.
As a fellow small business owner, I understand the frustration of finding affordable, high-quality Xero resources tailored to your specific needs. So I decided to create my own training, drawing from over 25 years of corporate accounting exerience and extensive research into Xero. The result? Straightforward Xero learning material designed with you in mind.
Unlike many other Xero resources, I designed this course specifically for small business owners. I cut to the chase, saving you time and making the complex simple. The setup allows you to learn at your own pace, ensuring you never feel contrained or overwhelmed.
I believe that high-quality Xero education should be available to everyone without breaking the bank.
The Ultimate Xero Course is designed to cater to your unique journey. If you have never used Xero before you can simply start at the beginning. Once you're up and running, you can do the lessons in any order you like.
There is about 17 hours of content in total plus the bonus content. But you don't need to complete it all to successfully use Xero. Once you've set up Xero, you can dip into the other lessons as needed.
Yes, I continually assess the content based on user feedback and needs. And you will have access to all new and updated material during your access period.
No, I am not a licensed financial or tax advier. While our learning material covers some practical aspects of using Xero for tax-related tasks, this does not constitute tax or legal advice. Always consult with a qualified tax professional for specific tax-related questions.
Due to the nature of digital products, I don't offer a free trial.
Due to the nature of the product, I cannot offer refunds if you have had access for a reasonable period of time. If you have just purchased the product and you want a refund, please contact me and I'll see what I can do.
No, I do not offer 1:1 consulting but you can receive some help if you do not understand some part of the learning material.
