Practical Bookkeeping in Luca

Learn day-to-day bookkeeping by doing it: raise sales invoices, enter supplier bills, import and reconcile banking and close a month, working in Luca with our practice client data. This is a hands-on programme. You work through our own practice client data in Luca, which you subscribe to yourself on a basic plan at gotluca.com. Mai Studies is an independent training provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for that software provider, and the software subscription is not included in your course fee. Every module contains original written notes, a tutor-voice class transcript, a downloadable practice dataset with a worked solution, mock questions with explained answers and a marked assignment. Written and owned by Mai Studies. This is a professional completion programme, not a regulated qualification.
