Need basic training

Are you employed as an accountant by a large organization? If so, they undoubtedly have several accounting software systems that you will need to work with. If these systems were created by their own programmers, the company should be able to provide you with the documentation and training you need.

If the company is using commercially packaged accounting software, their deployment is still complicated enough that they probably have people who will explain it to you.

A tremendous advantage of the accounting department is that accountants are very diligent about documentation. If you were in another department you would not be so fortunate.

It may be that you have to be patient and wait for the company to schedule you for training. However, it would not be bad for you to mention this issue to your manager.

You should not be embarrassed by your lack of experience with IT. No one in your position would be able to understand your company's accounting software without training.

You have gotten a good start by learning Word and Excel. If your computer has access to other commonly used packages such as Access, Powerpoint, or Project, you should learn to use them as well. You obviously also know how to use the Internet, which is a very important resource.

If you are not working for a large company with its own accounting software, please tell us more about your situation.

Hi,

I presume you have to use lots of reports and decision making skills in your job, or automate those routine tasks, u can get started with excel by trying the macro features, since ur comfortable with excel. get a book to learn excel programming(macros ) that will easily help you to gain more prg skills.

unless your purpose of basic training is known i cant add much further, you can always look into your local community school to learn more technology at affordable prices and timings:)
