Understanding the Role of Excel in Bookkeeping: Seeking Insight

In the modern Bookkeeping landscape, software solutions like Xero and QuickBooks have streamlined numerous Accounting processes. However, a lingering question remains: What specific Excel tasks are still relevant in this field?

I recently attended an interview where I was asked about my proficiency in advanced Excel functions. While my background includes experience with both QuickBooks and Xero, I found myself wondering about the particular Excel-related duties that might be expected in a Bookkeeping role. It’s clear that something beyond basic spreadsheets is required, yet the interviewers did not delve into the details.

That brings me to seek your expertise. If any bookkeeping professionals or Excel experts could shed light on this subject, I would be incredibly grateful. Perhaps we could even arrange a Google Meet to discuss it further.

As I actively search for job opportunities, any insights you could provide would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for your support!
