About this course
Zoho Books is a SAAS-based accounting and invoicing platform designed for small businesses and freelancers. This course walks through the core functions you need to manage daily financial tasks.
The course begins with the basics of accounting within Zoho Books. You learn how to create journal entries, income expense sheets, and balance sheets. These are the foundational records any business needs to track its financial health.
Next, the course covers how to create and send invoices, retainer invoices, and sales orders to customers. You also learn how to integrate a banking account with Zoho Books. This connection allows you to keep track of bank transactions automatically, matching them to the entries you have recorded.
The syllabus moves through the user interface, product and contact management, sales tracking, and purchase tracking. By the end, you should be able to set up a customer, raise an invoice, record a payment, and reconcile a bank statement within the software.
Who this course is for: Beginners who need to manage accounts for a small business or side project. No prior accounting software experience is required.
