Accounting Training and CPD Support
Accounting training and CPD support for accountants, bookkeepers and practice teams who want to feel more confident with software, systems and day-to-day processes.
Training should make work feel clearer, not heavier.
When software changes, processes shift or clients start asking different questions, even experienced people can lose confidence. Sometimes the problem isn’t ability. It’s that nobody’s had the time to properly explain the system, the process or the reason behind the change.
The Accountant’s Best Friend can provide training that’s shaped around how your practice actually works, helping your team feel more comfortable with the tools, workflows and client situations they deal with every day.
“Training should make people feel clearer and more confident, not overwhelmed.
My best sessions are built around the real work your team is trying to do.”
Donna Beddis, The Accountant’s Best Friend
Everyday records
Training for accountants and bookkeepers
Accountancy practices are busy places.
New software, changing processes, client questions, internal systems and compliance updates can all create pressure for your team. People may be expected to use a system confidently long before they’ve had the space to properly learn it.
TABF can help accountants, bookkeepers and practice teams build confidence through training that connects directly to real work.
That might mean walking through a software process, explaining why a workflow matters, helping people understand common mistakes or giving the team a clearer way to support clients.
The focus is on training people can actually use once the session is finished.
What training and CPD support can include
Training can be shaped around your team, your software and the challenges you’re trying to solve.
This can include:
- Accounting software training
- Bookkeeping software training
- Systems training
- Best-practice process guidance
- CPD-related training support
- Training for new or changing workflows
- Support with client-facing systems
- Guidance around apps and connected tools
- Practical training for individuals or teams
- Confidence-building support for staff
Every practice works differently, so training shouldn’t feel generic.
TABF can help you identify where the gaps are, where people feel unsure and what would make everyday work easier.

Accounting software training
Good software is only useful if people know how to use it properly.
Your team may need help with platforms such as Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or other bookkeeping and accounting systems. They may understand some parts of the software but feel less confident with reporting, workflows, apps, client setup or day-to-day processing.
TABF can provide accounting software training that focuses on how the system is used in practice, not just a list of technical features.
That might include helping your team understand:
How the system should be used
Where information comes from
How to avoid common mistakes
How to improve workflows
How to get better information from the software
How to support clients more confidently
The goal is for the software to feel useful and manageable, not intimidating.
Working together
Systems and process training
Sometimes the issue isn’t just the software. It’s the process around it.
A system may be set up correctly but used inconsistently across the team. A process might work well for one person but not for everyone else, or a client workflow may have developed over time without ever being reviewed.
TABF can help practices train their teams on both systems and processes, making everyday work clearer, more consistent and easier to manage. This is particularly valuable when processes have changed, new software has been introduced, clients are being moved to a new system, workflows need improving, or team members are carrying out the same tasks in different ways.
The focus is on practical, hands on training that reflects the work people do every day. By connecting training to real tasks and real processes, teams gain confidence, improve consistency and get more value from the systems they use.
CPD support with practical value
CPD shouldn’t feel like a box-ticking exercise.
The most useful training gives people something they can take back into the practice and apply.
TABF can provide CPD-related support around accounting systems, software, processes and practical accountancy topics.
That might mean helping your team understand a new workflow, improve confidence with software, support clients better or approach systems work more consistently.
The learning should feel relevant, useful and worth the time your team has taken out of a busy day.
Working alongside your advisor
Training during software changes or migrations
Software changes can be stressful for teams and clients.
Even when a new system is the right choice, people still need time and support to understand how it works, what has changed and how their day-to-day tasks will be affected.
TABF can provide training as part of software migrations, systems reviews or wider practice changes.
This can help your team understand the new setup, feel more confident answering client questions and avoid simply carrying old problems into a new system.
Training can also support clients where your practice is helping them move to digital records, cloud bookkeeping or new software ahead of changes such as MTD for ITSA.
Support for team confidence
Training is not only about knowledge.
It’s also about confidence.
Sometimes people know more than they think, but need someone to explain the process clearly, answer questions and give them space to work through the areas they find difficult.
TABF’s approach is friendly, down-to-earth and focused on making the work feel more manageable.
Whether someone is new to a system, nervous about technology or simply needs a clearer way to approach a process, TABF can help them build confidence at a pace that makes sense.
Who this is for
Training that fits your practice
Your practice may need a one-off session, ongoing support, training for a small group or help with a particular software or process issue.
TABF can shape the training around what you actually need.
That might mean focusing on a specific system, supporting a team through a change, helping improve consistency or acting as a sounding board while you work out where the knowledge gaps are.
Training should fit the practice, the people and the work, not force everyone through a generic course that doesn’t quite match what they do.
