Instructions
- To access the Accounteasy course first select either “non-VAT registered business” or “VAT registered business” below depending on your requirement.
- Once you have selected your required course, download the accompanying PDF manual.
Both the video and manual are divided into numbered chapters allowing the user to refer back to any section at any time. It is recommended that you view the manual as a double page spread with text on the left and ledger on the right as shown below:
Your computer’s PDF viewer (e.g Adobe Acrobat, MacOS Preview) will have a fullscreen option that automatically presents the document in this format, or alternatively users may also find it useful to print the manual themselves. One further option would be to display the manual on a second screen if available allowing the user to view the manual and video simultaneously.
- We suggest first watching the video, but you may also find it useful to follow along in the manual. To begin the video presentation select “Introduction 1” in the panel to the right and the course will begin from the start. Subsequent chapters will then automatically play in sequence. You can return to a chapter at any time by selecting it from the menu on the right hand side.
Note: If you find the videos play but without sound, ensure the video is not muting by checking the speaker icon to the bottom right of the video window.
