About the Author

Lita Epstein, who earned her MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, enjoys helping people develop good financial, investing, and tax planning skills.

While getting her MBA, Lita worked as a teaching assistant for the financial accounting department and ran the accounting lab. After completing her MBA, she managed finances for a small nonprofit organization and for the facilities management section of a large medical clinic.

She designs and teaches online courses on topics such as accounting and bookkeeping and starting your own business. She’s written more than 50 books, including Reading Financial Reports For Dummies, Trading For Dummies, The Business Owner’s Guide to Reading and Understanding Financial Statements, and Financial Decision Making.

Lita was the content director for a financial services website MostChoice.com, and managed the website Investing for Women. As a congressional press secretary, Lita gained firsthand knowledge about how to work within and around the federal bureaucracy, which gives her great insight into how government programs work. In the past, Lita has been a daily newspaper reporter, magazine editor, and fundraiser for the international activities of former President Jimmy Carter through The Carter Center.
