I am excited to sit in for the Xero Payroll training. Again Xero Payroll can eliminate duplicate process, improve efficiency and effectiveness in our organization. Xero will assist with the process automation process that the institution is undergoing. My only concern is if Papua New Guinea Taxation table is compatible with Xero Payroll?

Understanding the Payroll processes in XERO is valuable to me with any business recommendations to my organization's key initiatives going forward.

Mario was a great trainer. Being a first time user to Xero, he made it very simple and easy to learn. I understood Accounts & Payroll after the 3 days training and am confident to start using Xero. Xero is also user friendly and very easy to use.

Mario is an excellent trainer. Just one day of payroll session and could easily use Xero payroll. I would highly recommend him for new beginners to Xero training.
