"As a small business owner I don't always have time to attend weekend courses nor absorb a lot at once. Also, i did not open a business with a degree in accounting or even business for that matter. I appreciated the focused topic, with specific information that i could learn from my office. I took away some things that i am already implementing in terms of how i think about true cost of employees, overhead, and un-billed time."John C., WY
