Stephen L. Nelson is a CPA in Redmond, Washington. Nelson
has an undergraduate degree in accounting, a master of business
administration degree in finance, and a master of science degree in
taxation. He's spent more than two decades helping
individuals and businesses manage their finances -- usually,
in part, by better use of computer systems such as Quicken. More
recently, he's worked as a sole proprietor. When he
wasn't doing CPA-type work, he served as controller of a
small, 50-person computer software company, and then as a book
publisher.
As corny as it sounds, Steve truly enjoys writing books that make
using personal computers easier and more fun. In fact, a
substantiated rumor that appeared first in The Wall Street
Journal says Steve has written more than 150 computer
books.
Steve is the best-selling author on the Quicken product. In fact,
Wiley recently tallied up Steve's Quicken For Dummies
sales -- and lo and behold if we haven't printed more
than one million copies!
