What you’ll learn

  • Bulk-correct incorrectly coded transactions
  • Spot errors quickly using the bank reconciliation report
  • Save time by automating bills and receipts with Hubdoc
  • Track profitability by product or service line
  • Prepare a company budget using Budget Manager

How it works

The focus is on real-world application, so we keep it super practical:

  • Small groups of 6-8 people
  • 60-minute sessions, over 6 weeks
  • Plenty of time for questions + discussion

Sessions begin with a check-in on what you’ve put into practice, and end with planning your next steps. Plus we’ll send you a manual for each session to refer to in future.

Location and cost

It’s held in-person, at Business Mastery HQ

94 Coleridge Street,
