Exploring the Role of Excel in Bookkeeping: Your Insights Needed!

As the landscape of Bookkeeping evolves with the advent of advanced Accounting Software like Xero and QuickBooks, many are left wondering about the exact role of Excel within this field. Recently, I found myself in an interview where the emphasis was placed on advanced Excel skills. However, the interviewers did not delve into the specific Excel tasks that are pertinent to Bookkeeping, leaving me with a sense of curiosity and a few questions that need answers.

While I possess a solid understanding of QuickBooks and Xero, I’m keen to learn how Excel complements these tools. What are the specific tasks and functions that bookkeeping professionals commonly handle through Excel? This is an area I’m eager to explore further, especially as I navigate my job search.

If you’re experienced in bookkeeping or have insights into the use of Excel in this context, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Whether it’s through advice, resources, or even a virtual meeting via Google Meet, any assistance would be invaluable as I seek to enhance my skill set. Thank you in advance for your help!
