what would be the most important thing to learn about spreadsheet

I am about to start a new job that requires me to know about spreadsheets,
it's a pest control business, and I will be keeping up with all the clients
records. If they've paid or if they haven't. I will also be doing
collections on deliquent files.
I've done spreadsheets a long time ago, but I need brushing up.
What should I focus on first?

Some tutorial sites for basics of Excel........

Collections on deliquent files sounds like you may be sending emails to
delinquents?

See Ron de Bruin's site for mailing tips.

Learn how to use Pivot Tables, advanced filters and autofilters.

Debra Dalgleish has much on these subjects on her site.
