OUR STORY
Bookkeeping Training was founded to empower business owners and those who support them with the confidence to manage their own books.
When cloud accounting technologies emerged, our founder Neha Nayyar saw how many owners and tradies felt lost or overwhelmed by DIY bookkeeping.
She created simple, step-by-step courses that make bookkeeping clear for everyone, no matter their experience. Just a little learning can make a big difference in how you manage your money.

Neha Nayyar is a qualified CPA and BAS Agent with a passion for teaching.

She founded Sum and Substance as a small bookkeeping practice and has grown it into a trusted source of bookkeeping, accounting and training services.

As a lifelong learner and teacher, Neha saw the stress and confusion business owners face when they try to manage their own books, so she developed industry‑specific courses to make bookkeeping approachable and jargon‑free.
