Remove topic 3 and the accounting concepts parts in topic 4 as this is neither a taxation nor an accounting course. Suggest to dedicate the time to cover other features of Xero such as manual journal entries, analytics, fixed assets and inventory reporting, etc.

Trainer went too fast, partly caused by Xero down time in the morning. Most importantly I believe cutting down topics 3 and 4 should help. (Posted on 11/3/2021)
