Student Reviews:

• "As a small business owner this course has proven invaluable to me. I no longer feel that I am at the mercy of my accountant who insisted on speaking a "foreign language" every time we discussed anything relating to payroll or taxes. Thank you!"
• "Excellent course. I plan to utilize the information immediately. So nice to be able to pull up the lessons on my timetable. I look forward to more on-line courses."

• "I appreciate the opportunity to take this course. I had just started a new job that utilized this program. The course was instrumental in getting the data set up correctly."
• "I enjoyed the class. It is easy to get lessons at a convenient time for the student. I learned a lot about what can be done with this program. My experience was the "old way" with ledgers and a pencil. I will not be using it daily but as a back-up person for the present employee but found it very interesting and challenging. It also gave me knowledge to use my home computer more productively"
• "I have been doing payroll on Quickbooks for a year but chose to take this class because of the way the payroll was setup when I took over the job. After taking this class, I will be making a few changes that will be beneficial in paying tax liabilities and working with FUTA & SUI entries."
• "I have been using QuickBooks, and didn't understand a lot of what I needed to do. This course was very helpful. Also, during this course, I hired a new employee, and not only had her information entered correctly, but also updated and corrected others. Thank you."
• "I think the course was great."
• "It was a wonderful class and saved me some time and expenses I would have probably not caught. I did our payroll right alongside the class."
• "Since my company uses QBP it was necessary to gain a basic knowledge of the functions since I terminated my Business Manager. I have found through this course several things that were not being done and many advantages of Payroll in QBP. I am in the process of updating info in my companies books and plan to take full advantage of lessons learned from the course and starting anew next year."
• "Thank you for a very informative and useful course. It is just what I was looking for to aid my bookkeeping skills and accuracy and to save time with payroll liability forms."
