New Staff Orientation and Training

Ideas to conduct orientation and training for my new accounting hire

What This Prompt Does

  • Creates a comprehensive orientation and training agenda for new accounting hires based on team size, business model, and internal workflows.

  • Outlines specific onboarding milestones, such as software training, process documentation reviews, compliance briefings, and job shadowing sessions.

  • Ensures consistency and quality across every onboarding experience, especially useful for remote or hybrid accounting teams.

  • Incorporates soft-skill integration—such as communication norms and company values—alongside technical training to promote long-term employee engagement and success.

Tips

  • Include both technical training (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, tax filing systems) and cultural onboarding (e.g., team values, communication expectations).

  • Use a phased approach, like a 30-60-90 day plan, to pace out learning and prevent overwhelm for new hires.

  • Incorporate real-world scenarios and practice tasks—like reconciling sample accounts—to reinforce learning.

  • Record internal walkthroughs or demos of your workflows and save them in a training library for future hires.

  • Pair new hires with a mentor or buddy to encourage collaboration and provide a go-to contact during their first weeks.
