“A clearly organised and amusingly written guide”
As one reviewer wrote: “A clearly organised and amusingly written guide about starting a financial planning business in Spain, which will be of great use to anyone in that specialised niche but also, remarkably, of genuine interest to the general reader interested in Spanish or European financial history. Peter Dougherty provides a fascinating account of how he came to live and work in a foreign country, what he has learned in his years navigating the complex and bureaucratic Spanish system, and his ultimate goals ahead, which will be immediately useful to anyone planning to manage their money in Spain.” Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
