Notice: please be aware that the course will include functionality available in the latest version of Paprika, 8.1. To make sure the content is relevant for you, ensure you’re on version 8.0.3 (or higher) due to the functionality which will be covered, such as the Credit Controller module. Other versions will differ.

Who are the course leaders?

India Quow, former client and Global Revenue Accountant, will be leading this course. Having used Paprika in her past finance role, and now as a Paprika expert, India will guide you through her key steps to achieving a time-efficient and accurate month-end.

Benjamin Baker, part of the Client Engagement team, will be assisting. His experience of running other seminars, like the WIP Reconciliation and Dashboard training course, makes Benjamin the ideal expert to help drive the session. With their combined knowledge, it’s the ideal opportunity to get to the bottom of any month-end issues.

All course materials will be provided. We encourage you to make notes using the handouts and Paprika month-end manual, which covers all of the examples discussed throughout the seminar.  Attendees are welcome to bring their laptops if you prefer typed notes, but these are not essential.
