• Set up our administration software for new clients – bookings management, cemeteries and memorials, allotments and asset inventory, transferring data into our systems and providing hands‑on training (online or on‑site).
• Deliver clear, friendly, and practical training sessions on both our financial and administrative software, helping users feel confident in their daily tasks.
