If you want the business side and the money side together, this is it. A business diploma covers managing, hiring and marketing, with an accounts certificate under it. A full year to work through it, online.
Small companies want one person who can do both.
Coming from another field? This starts from the ground.
In admin now? Managing and marketing open the next door.
Small firms want people who can hold admin, accounts and staff together. A week runs from a pay run to a supplier call.
Keep the whole office ticking over.
Run pay across the two systems.
Handle money in and money out.
Cover staff records and the pay run.
Keep the finance paperwork moving.
Support a small firm across the board.
Books one day, wages the next.
Run the services a business needs.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
The business side first, then the accounts and both payroll systems.
Three things that shape this one.
Leadership, staff, health and safety, and digital marketing.
Pay runs in Sage and pay runs in Xero.
Business experts mentor you, with a large library behind it.

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, and it earns CPD credits. That is industry backing, not a QQI award. It is not a national qualification. For small firm roles, the mix of admin, accounts and payroll is what counts.
A fourteen day money back window applies. The admin fee sits outside it.
This course is delivered by The Career Academy.
