Software Training

Sage & Xero
Training

Maximise the potential of your accounting software with bespoke training sessions designed around your specific needs — helping you work smarter, faster, and with more confidence.

Use Your Software
to Its Full Potential.

Most businesses use only a fraction of their accounting software’s capabilities — either because they were never properly trained, or because they’ve built up habits around a small subset of features. This costs time, introduces errors, and limits the quality of financial information available to you.

At Wilds, we offer bespoke training sessions for both Xero and Sage — tailored to your specific version, your workflow, and your team. As a Xero Gold Partner, we bring certified expertise to every session, ensuring you get practical, relevant training that makes an immediate difference.

Whether it’s a business owner wanting to understand their numbers better, or a finance team member who needs to use the system more efficiently, we build the session around what you actually need.

Sage & Xero Training FAQs

Everything you need to know about our bespoke Xero and Sage training sessions.

A typical session covers bank reconciliation, purchase ledger, reporting, and automation rules, tailored to your Xero setup and how your team processes transactions each day. These Xero training courses are never generic, because we build each session around the questions and challenges you personally bring us, so nothing feels wasted or irrelevant once the day begins.

If your team also processes staff wages, we can fold in Xero payroll training so pay runs, pensions, and submissions are handled correctly from day one. For businesses managing subsidiaries or annual filings alongside their books, our company secretarial support keeps everything joined up with the training your growing team receives throughout the year.

Sessions typically run as a single focused half-day, giving your team enough time to cover setup, bank reconciliation, and reporting without pulling anyone away from the business for too long. This is built entirely around your specific workflow rather than a fixed course structure, so the overall pace depends on what you and your team still need to cover before the session ends.

Beginners often need the full half day to build confidence, while experienced staff needing a refresher may finish sooner. We also run a free Sage training consultation first, so your finance team knows what to expect before the session begins, regardless of the software your business relies on.

Yes, we build every session around your version, including Sage 50 Accounts, Sage Payroll, or Sage Cloud, and deliver them directly to your finance team so everyone processes transactions the same consistent way going forward. We always cover VAT returns, day-to-day processing, bank reconciliation, and management reporting in every single session, reducing errors along the way.

This gives your business more reliable numbers to work from when making decisions about spending, cash flow, staffing, and future growth plans for the year ahead. If you're recruiting new finance staff and want them confident quickly, our recruitment support service can help you find the right people before we schedule their first session together.

Booking is straightforward. Call us on 0161 723 3211 or email info@wildsca.com, and we’ll arrange a short call to understand your current setup, your software version, and what your finance team finds difficult day-to-day. From there, we schedule your free Sage training consultation directly with one of our qualified accountants, not a third-party trainer, so the conversation stays grounded in real compliance and reporting requirements from the start.

During that call, we outline what a bespoke session will cover, giving you a clear picture before committing any of your team’s time. Once confirmed, we lock in a convenient half-day and prepare the session around your business.

We deliver Xero training courses covering basic setup, bank reconciliation, purchase ledger, reporting, and automation rules, each tailored closely to your version and workflow rather than a fixed generic syllabus. Sessions suit business owners who want a much clearer view of their numbers and finance staff who need day-to-day confidence with the system they already rely on.

Every course finishes with ongoing support built in afterwards, so nobody is left guessing what happens next once it ends. Our business protection service can sit alongside your Xero accounting training, if you want cover and continuity when key staff managing accounts are unexpectedly unavailable during busy periods of the working year.

Xero payroll training can always be built into your session if payroll runs through your Xero subscription, covering pay runs, pension submissions, and reporting alongside your wider bookkeeping setup throughout the year. We tailor the balance between general software sessions and payroll-specific Xero payroll training based on what your team actually processes day-to-day across the wider business.

This keeps your finance function accurate, compliant, confident, and ready for whatever comes next. If your bookkeeping needs wider support beyond payroll alone, our bookkeeping service can take that entire workload off your team entirely, while training sessions still cover the parts you personally want to manage yourself in-house.

Yes, our Xero bookkeeping training is designed for staff who are new to the system, starting with setup and bank reconciliation before moving into reporting and everyday transaction-processing tasks together. Sessions are always practical rather than theoretical, so beginners leave able to manage their own books with real confidence instead of simply watching someone else demonstrate the process from a distance.

Bookkeeping training and advisory work together, giving your finance team consistent, joined-up support from people who genuinely know your accounts well. For businesses planning ahead and wanting broader guidance on structure and growth alongside better habits, our business advisory service can support those wider decisions too.

Getting started with training in Xero always begins with a short conversation about your current setup, your team’s confidence level, and the outcomes you want from the session itself before anything is booked. We then build a fully bespoke half-day around those needs, rather than working from a standard course outline that ignores your specific software version.

Business owners new to training in Xero often start with basic setup and reconciliation before moving on to reporting, once the essentials feel comfortable and familiar to everyone involved. Once booked, accountants who use Xero daily deliver sessions that reflect real practice rather than generic features.

Yes, Xero accounting training fully covers the digital links, VAT scheme configuration, and submission processes needed to keep your setup MTD compliant as requirements continue expanding across many different sectors and industries. This matters because incorrect configuration can quietly create compliance gaps, even when your day-to-day bookkeeping looks perfectly accurate on the surface to an untrained eye reviewing the accounts each month.

It keeps everything joined up neatly under one dedicated accountant, saving you time. Our compliance service keeps your reporting on track if your business also needs broader support meeting regulatory obligations while your team gets up to speed with accounting training.

Training simply doesn’t ever stop the moment the session ends. As your accountants, we remain fully available to answer questions and help your whole team apply what they learned in real, day-to-day situations as they naturally arise over time.

Our sessions, including Xero bookkeeping training and general software support, include this ongoing access, so confidence keeps building steadily after the half-day has finished. For businesses wanting a refresher later, we can revisit Xero training at any point without needing to book an entirely new course from scratch. Between sessions, your team always has someone reliable to call whenever a question comes up.
