"I am currently taking courses from three soon to be 4 providers. Prior to working as a tax Preparer I was an educator. Clearly Mr. Freeman spent time planning this seminar. The Power Point slides were perfect as were the polling questions which clearly evaluated the participants' understanding of the material. I learned a great deal and appreciated his advice regarding Tax Preparers working with attorneys. I highly recommend Mr. Freeman!"Melody, TX
