By Ivana Bunjevacki
Another great course in a row by the same instructor! He gives step-by-step approach to recording each item in an easy to understand way and you also learn how to deal with all the necessary forms regarding payroll. A very down-to-earth and highly practical approach to the whole topic! Additionally, Bob is very helpful and always willing to respond to all students' issues in a very detailed manner. After finishing this course, I feel competent and confident about doing payroll for potential business clients.
