Flagship course
Till-to-Ledger Reconciliation
Eighteen modules that walk store finance staff from drawer count to an audit-ready variance narrative.
Overview
What this program covers
Designed for cashiers who stepped into controller roles, franchise owners closing their own books, and junior auditors supporting retail clients in Taiwan(China).
You will practice with sample POS exports, safe logs, and ledger extracts — then assemble a close pack someone else can review without a phone call.
Informational price: NT$8,900 per learner · cohort or self-paced access for 120 days.

Who guides the cohorts

Learner voices
From recent cohorts
The bank deposit matching module finally explained why our Monday ledger always looked short when Friday’s bag hit Tuesday. I still struggle with gift-card edge cases, but the worksheet alone paid for the seat.
Short and blunt: module 09’s decision tree is taped inside our cash office.
Capstone was harder than our real stores — which is the point. Wish there were more Mandarin captions on the demo videos, though English narration was clear enough.
FAQ
Before you enroll
Do I need accounting software experience?
No. Spreadsheet comfort helps. We teach the cash logic first; your ledger tool comes second.
Is this a payments or checkout product?
No. Cloudautoapp sells training only. Pricing on this site is informational — we do not process course payments on these pages.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not certify you under government auditor licenses, and we do not customize every POS vendor’s export layout. If your system uses a proprietary file format, you will map fields yourself using our templates as a guide.
How long do I keep access?
Self-paced seats include 120 days of materials. Cohort seats include live sessions plus 90 days of recording access afterward.
