Summary

The Payroll Book is the only book that demystifies payroll with clear, concise, and real-world examples on how to tackle the process.

"The Payroll Book will be a valuable resource for the small business owner as well as for the entrepreneur planning a new venture. Thorough, well-organized, and thoughtfully written, this practical guide is an essential tool for managing the payroll process."
—Marilyn K. Wiley, Dean, College of Business, University of North Texas

"Failing to comply with the withholding, tax remittance, and report filing requirements in handling business payroll carries a high cost. Charles' book will guide entrepreneurs through the minefields of payroll processing and reporting in language that business owners can understand. Whether you already own or are planning to start your own business, The Payroll Book is an essential tool."
—James A. Smith, Past President and Chairman, Texas Society of CPAs

"If accounting is something you have not paid keen attention to in your startup, then this book can demystify the whole thing for you and then some! Logically set-up and highly practical in its approach! I highly recommend this book for any startup, entrepreneur, and, frankly, anyone thinking about starting a business. That said, if you already started a business it's just as important—this is a must-read!"
—Hubert Zajicek, CEO, Co-founder and Partner, Health Wildcatters

"Wow! This is the most comprehensive book of its kind. I have worked in payroll for over 25 years, and I would recommend this book as a reference to anyone who has a hand in payroll. From the novice just entering the field to the seasoned veteran, there is something in this book for everyone."
—Romeo Chicco, President, PayMaster
