Understanding the Role of Excel in Bookkeeping: A Request for Insights

As the world of Bookkeeping continues to evolve with advanced software options like Xero and QuickBooks, I’m left wondering about the specific Excel tasks that are commonly required in this field. While these platforms streamline many Accounting functions, Excel appears to maintain its relevance in certain Bookkeeping practices.

Recently, I had a job interview that raised some questions for me. The interviewer inquired about my advanced Excel skills, but the conversation didn’t delve into the particular types of Excel tasks that would be necessary for the role. This has left me eager to learn more.

I possess familiarity with QuickBooks and Xero, yet I find myself uncertain about the significance of Excel in this context. To gain a clearer understanding, I would appreciate any insights or guidance from those experienced in bookkeeping. If possible, I’d be grateful for the opportunity to have a discussion over Google Meet or any platform that suits you.

As I actively seek job opportunities, assistance or information on this matter would be immensely valuable to me. Thank you in advance for your help!
