“For a number of years, we have used The Balancing Act distance learning bookkeeping course as part of our induction programme for all new recruits. This has allowed our school-leaver and graduate intake to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to become productive in the workplace within a week and, in the case of our AAT students, to commence their studies at level 3, rather than spend a year completing level 2. This not only fast tracks their career progress and enables our business to immediately benefit from their increased effectiveness, but also reduces the amount of on-the-job training provided by their line managers and consequent lost chargeable time.”

“At Andrew Price & Co we believe training is the best investment you can make in your team. We do this from the start, from new apprentices to people looking for a refresher after joining us from industry. We’ve found no better way than The Balancing Act to be able to get people confident with the core underlying accounting principles and processes. It’s comprehensive and highly practical with the added benefit of testing to support the learning process. Even with software like Xero, you need to be able to understand the accounting that goes on within it to ensure it’s used correctly. The Balancing Act is one of the best ways I’ve seen to get entry level team members as productive as possible in a short period of time, freeing up your more experienced staff to do client work. ”

“The Balancing Act is the best introductory course we have seen, easy to use, effective and reasonably priced. We have found it invaluable in ascertaining very quickly whether someone is cut out to be an accountant and have done so without needing to spend a lot of expensive manager time in the process. The small investment is very quickly repaid.”
