Understanding Excel’s Role in Bookkeeping: Seeking Insights

In the world of Bookkeeping, the integration of various software tools has transformed traditional Accounting practices. While platforms like Xero and QuickBooks dominate the landscape by streamlining many financial tasks, Excel remains an invaluable asset in this field.

I recently faced a job interview where I was asked about my proficiency in Excel. Despite my familiarity with Accounting Software, I was left wondering how advanced Excel skills are applicable in contemporary Bookkeeping. What specific tasks or functionalities in Excel do employers typically expect?

Given my background with QuickBooks and Xero, I am keen to grasp the unique ways in which Excel complements these systems. I’m reaching out to the community for insights and guidance on this matter.

If you have expertise in this area and could share some knowledge—perhaps even through a Google Meet session—I would greatly appreciate your assistance. I’m actively seeking employment and any help would be invaluable during this crucial time. Thank you!
