It’s great for staff in small businesses who are ready to step up and take on more responsibility with admin.

Pathways

The BAS and Payroll course is a great way to prepare for a certificate or diploma level course. It’s a taster of what it’s like to study online – handy if you haven’t studied for a while. In a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping or Diploma of Accounting, you’ll explore many more tasks and subtopics of accounting. But you’ll also be able to draw on the knowledge and thinking skills you picked up in this course. You may also be able to get credit for the two units you’ve completed as part of this course.

If you’re looking to study more part courses in accounting, Monarch Institute are proud to offer the following part courses:

I currently work in a mid-tier accounting firm as a senior accountant, and love it. I have over 8 years’ experience working as a business service accountant and tax consultant. I look after a portfolio of clients across various industries, and that’s really interesting. Observing different sector dynamics at play is fascinating. My skills include preparing financial statements, preparing tax returns, BAS, budgeting, cash flow analysis and tax consulting.

What makes me jump out of bed each morning?

I’m passionate about eating food. I love to try different cuisines in restaurants, and enjoy cooking as well. The bed time discussion generally starts with, ‘…what are we going to eat tomorrow’?
