    Training employees on new accounting software requires a structured yet flexible approach. Start with hands-on, step-by-step guidance, using real-world examples to make learning practical. Break training into digestible sessions, reinforcing key functions without overwhelming them. Encourage interactive learning through Q&A sessions and provide easy-to-access resources like video tutorials or quick-reference guides. Most importantly, be patient—support and ongoing practice build confidence. A well-trained team isn’t just proficient; they become more efficient and engaged.
