ACCOUNTING AND PAYROLL COURSES

What will I learn in an accounting and payroll course?

Accounting and payroll courses will teach you payroll fundamentals, accounting skills, and basic bookkeeping. The courses will also teach you office procedures, and other key skills. You will study important software tools such as Sage, Microsoft Office, and Quickbooks. Students will have the latest knowledge needed to work in a modern office.

The programs will also cover soft skills such as business communication and writing. Some payroll accounting courses also allow students to apply their knowledge in practical application drills. This in-depth practice allows students to prepare for possible job scenarios.

All our accounting and payroll programs fully prepare students for the National Payroll Institute (formerly The Canadian Payroll Association) Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) certification. This widely recognized industry credential will help you succeed in your career.

Equipped with your new skills and diploma, you will be qualified to work in the public or private sector. Further, you will be able to work at both large and small organizations. Or, if you choose to do so, you are able to work in a freelance capacity.

Self-paced payroll accounting courses at AOLCC give you the added benefit of a campus environment and support from learning coaches. You have the same flexibility in your studies, with more support than basic online bookkeeping courses.

What to Expect From a Career in Accounting and Payroll

The majority of accounting and payroll positions are traditional in-office roles. In this career, you can expect to manage a company’s finances. You may do so by paying and processing invoices, ensuring proper payment of taxes and payroll, and recording and analyzing data.

You might also need to report on data by preparing a financial statement. You will present this information to those within the company or to people outside of it.

All these duties help keep the company’s financial procedures accurate and efficient. However, specific tasks will vary depending on your role.

Most accounting and payroll professionals can expect to work full time (40 hours per week). Just note, you may need to work more hours during tax season and at the end of the budget year.
