Help Your New Hire Learn Your Internal Systems

How to best help my new employee learn my accounting firm’s internal systems.

What This Prompt Does

  • Creates a step-by-step internal systems training guide tailored to your accounting firm’s specific tech stack, workflows, and team size.

  • Guides the setup of structured onboarding for essential tools like project management systems, accounting software, communication platforms, and document storage.

  • Integrates best practices for system adoption, security protocols, and process documentation to ensure smooth knowledge transfer.

  • Helps new hires gain confidence and competence in using firm-specific systems effectively and independently.

Tips

  • Develop clear SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) or video tutorials for key systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, Karbon, Google Workspace, or Notion.

  • Assign a systems buddy or mentor to support the new hire during their first two weeks and answer platform-specific questions.

  • Use quizzes, sandbox environments, or mock tasks (e.g., entering a journal entry or uploading client docs) to validate comprehension.

  • Encourage the new employee to keep a "learning log" as they explore systems—this can later be used to refine onboarding processes.

  • Schedule weekly check-ins to gather feedback, clarify questions, and identify gaps in training materials.
