What a joke, i could've taught those classes in one week what took them 3 and done a 75% better…read morejob. How did they help me.....introduced me to Indeed employment services Financial help? no, tried to get everyone to buy stocks. made unrealistic scenarios. for example you have no job, no car and feeding off of your friends soooo how much money do you want to be making in 5 years? $250k, excellent well work on that, first lets start off by figuring out how much you need to be making a month....and this garbage goes on and on. almost nothing on being properly dressed, how to address the prospective employer. how to sit, what to do with your hands, what NOT to do or say (all of the first impressions) their resumes are cookie cutter profiles you can get any where, you have to hunt them down to get any help. what i experienced is a dozen people who talk the talk but have never walked the walk teaching you crap like . "OK, what part of your body does your feelings of love go to" this is stuff you should've been taught in elementary, days and days of this. you can go upstairs (concord office) and get all the information and no bull. in fact the class had to do that on resumes BUT only 1 of the 3 required classes because no one knew what was going on. their attorney didn't know any thing and said wait until the new attorney shows up (6 months latter)!!!!! we'll help you get a car....but...you need a job for 3 months first. and it has to be a hybrid less then 8 years old our program will give you 5k towards it but you have to attend 3 workshops first. note: there are 2 other government programs like this that they never heard of and their more flexible. overall it would be a great place to work because you really don't have to do much and do the exact same thing every 3 weeks.

They provided us with an attorney who advised us of the process, recommended what doctors to see, and who later accompanied us to our court date.

After years of being just another account number at ADP, I made the leap to Ledger Payroll and I…read moreonly wish I had done it sooner. From day one, John the owner has delivered white glove service that you simply cannot find at a big box payroll company. He took the time to understand my business, walked me through the transition personally, and never once made me feel like my questions were a burden. It is rare to find someone who cares this much about getting it right. His staff is sharp, attentive, and genuinely a dream to work with. Every call is answered with care, every issue is resolved with speed and accuracy, and I never feel lost in the shuffle. If you are a small business owner looking for a payroll provider that actually treats you like family, stop looking. Ledger Payroll brings the human touch back to business and it is everything I needed and more. Support local. Trust people who care. Go with Ledger.

I am on the autism spectrum and struggle with extreme anxiety that has made it difficult for me to…read morefunction in a work environment. I have been a client of RCEB since 2016. So far I am not especially satisfied with the services I have had. They did provide funding for me to have an employment coach, but due to issues that shall remain confidential, I am currently unemployed, and getting a job has been put on the backburner while I sort things out. I live on my own but my parents continue to support me financially. It's difficult for people in my situation to get help tailored to our needs. I am higher functioning than the majority of their clients are, but my anxiety has made obtaining and maintaining employment a challenge. The services they have told me about really don't sound like they would be of much use, as they are more for people who aren't able to care for themselves and struggle with basic life skills. Then there's the issue of them never seeming to have my current information on file, despite me giving them the information multiple times. A few years ago I changed my phone number. I gave them my new number, and in addition I changed the voicemail greeting for my old number to say that I was no longer taking calls at that number and to please call me at (XXX) XXX-XXXX. But for some reason my new number never made it into their system. They do have my email address, which hasn't changed, and I do periodically receive emails from them. The date of my annual case review came and went and I didn't hear anything from them, either via phone or email. Finally I called them to ask what was going on. It took several weeks for my case manager to get back to me. When they finally did, they told me that, because they hadn't heard from me in a while and were unable to reach me because my phone number had been deactivated, they closed my case. They told me they emailed me about it but I never received any emails. So I had to go through the process of reopening my case. Then about eight months ago I moved. I gave them my new address, and my case manager came to my house, both to assess my living situation and go over various stuff with me regarding the services they can provide. Since I'm not currently seeking employment, I didn't sign up for any services. My case manager said they would check in with me every three months, but several months went by and I didn't hear anything from them. Then a few days ago I received an email saying that they tried to send me a letter by mail so it was returned to them, and they scanned it and sent it to me in an email. When I looked at the address, I saw that it was my old address, where my parents are now living. They are my emergency contacts, so sending stuff to that address normally wouldn't be an issue since my parents would just give it to me. However, the reason why the letter was returned to them was that they misspelled the name of the street! The USPS didn't recognize the address, hence why the letter was returned. I don't think that this was the case manager's fault, since they visited me at my current address (not only that but they never visited me at where I was living before). So whoever is in charge of handling the information they have on file needs to make sure everything is up to date. I check my phone and my email on a regular basis throughout the day, so if they were to contact me, I would get the notification. Like a lot of other organizations, while they are coming from a good place, they are poorly managed, and as a result are difficult to work with.

I run a property management business which involves a lot of complex accounting. We hired Jay to…read morehelp us and he has been nothing but an asset ever since. He is very professional, honest, hard working and is motivated with getting problems solved for his clients. We recently ran into an audit from the bureau of real estate and Jay has been absolutely instrumental in helping us prepare and using the resources his firm has access to, to organize a mountain of information in a way that matches the bureau's requirements. He has really gone above and beyond what a typical CPA firm would do. I would strongly recommend the services of Focus Accounting to anybody in Northern California who needs the help of a highly professional, honest and dedicated accounting firm, who will be more than just a service, but an asset to any business.

I am an established resource parent in Alameda County, I originally went through the county itself…read more(social services) to be certified for foster care etc and then we later adopted through the county. We now have been finalized with our daughter for 3 years and are ready to expand our family again through fost /adopt, but we decided that we wanted more input than we were allowed to have with the county. My daughters sister (who was also in foster care) ended up in a great home and that all came about through A Better Way, so we decided to look into their program and have begun our pride training classes. Since this is my 2nd time going through pride training (my last training was more than 5 years ago) initially I was not at all excited, but I have to say that I am really enjoying the classes. Being that I have been a foster parent, a concurrent planning placement parent and now an adoptive parent I am quite familiar with how things work, what the kids go through etc... and A Better Way does a really good job of balancing giving out that information (and not scaring people) along with presenting the lighter side of fost/adopt. I am very eager to finish the training and get to the next and so far so good. I would recommend a better way to anyone considering fost/adoption.
