Hey there!
I'm Marion (or Maz) the Numbers Lover, dedicated to getting you to know and love your numbers as well.
With a background in accountancy and training (I'm a UK qualified accountant) I've spent my working life getting to grips with the numbers, and then explaining them to others. Knowing and understanding your numbers has so many benefits.
Here's how my Udemy courses can help you love your numbers ...
Xero (Online Accounting Software)
Are you keen to use Xero, but not sure where to start?
Are you a frustrated Xero user, because you know that you are not using Xero to its full potential?
Would you like to be your own boss, have flexible hours and earn a decent living as a Xero bookkeeper?
Then have a look at my courses on Xero. As well as being a Xero Certified Advisor, I'm a qualified accountant and I've been running my own accountancy practice for over 6 years. During that time I've seen all the pitfalls fro business owners as they try to tackle this 'user friendly' software without any expert guidance. This can mean expensive accountancy bills sorting out the mess, and I'm here to ensure this doesn't happen to you.
Personal Finance
Would you like some down-to-earth practical advice to help you get to grips withand improve your personal finances?

I wanted to learn this software to put in my CV and hopefully get a job. Previously I learned Sage 50 at the college and online and I kind of expected a bit more of data input but here are so briefly and you can't really track your data. I have done only 4 sections but let's see if it gets better.

The course is very useful. The tutor, Maz is so amazing, her pronunciation is so delightful that even I, a non-native speaker can understand well. Great work, Maz!

Easy, clear directions

Nice presentation and easy to understand. Materials are more worthy than price.

I usually use Sage for my Clients but a new Client of mine is currently using Xer and wants me to take over her bookkeeping.
This course was an introduction to Xero and has given me the confidence to accept the Client! Amazing, so well presented and although a lot of information it was easy to understand and follow.

By Sadia Salman on 11/19/2020

it was a very useful course and it covered all accounting topics

By Simon Benson on 10/23/2020

Parts of this course were great and others i didn't need but were still great to learn!

By Chris Barbour on 10/20/2020

Very well explained

By Toni Stoney on 10/18/2020

The first part was clear and understandable but I'm from New Zealand and the VAT & PAYE was a bit different from ours

By Shoba Susan on 10/16/2020

Good explanation

By Dora Szeneczei on 10/14/2020

It is an awesome step by step course, clearly understandable, great explanations.

By Beverley Goss on 10/12/2020

Marion is a great teacher, easy to listen to and easy to understand.
I unfortunately chose two of her courses which I completed today but neither addressed my requirements to use Xero Bookkeeping, which is what I really need.
I work with an accountant and her clients are on Xero. I have always worked on QuickBooks but have no experience on Xero.
I will look to see if she has a training video of Xero bookkeeping skills for clients.
Thank you.
