Whether you're starting fresh, returning to work, or ready to step up from general admin into a finance role, the Accounts Administration & Payroll Pathway gives you the practical skills New Zealand employers are looking for, plus the professional recognition to back them up.
Every business in New Zealand needs people who can run payroll accurately and keep the books in order, from small local firms to large organisations, across every industry. And because this pathway is built around the tools Kiwi businesses actually use, Xero, MYOB and Microsoft Excel, along with NZ-specific essentials like GST, payday filing and the New Zealand financial reporting framework, you'll finish with skills you can put to work anywhere.
Designed by industry experts, this comprehensive pathway combines seven certificates into one course: the Certificate in Accounts Administration, the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) Program, the Certificate in MYOB Business Payroll, the Advanced Certificate in Xero, the Diploma in Accounting, the Certificate in Xero Payroll, and the Certificate in Xero.
Throughout this pathway, you'll cover:
Accounts Administration Foundations: Master bookkeeping and accounting fundamentals, journals, ledgers and trial balances, GST, accounts payable and receivable, budgeting and cashflow management, plus core Microsoft Excel and Word skills.
Payroll With MYOB & Xero: Learn to set up employees, process pay runs, manage leave and pay templates, and handle payslips, payroll reporting and payday filing obligations in both MYOB Business and Xero, the two platforms New Zealand employers rely on most.
Advanced Accounting & Professional Practice: Take your knowledge further with the Diploma in Accounting, covering NZ taxation, management accounting, financial reporting and full-year case studies.
