La Hoja de Ruta Fiscal y Financiera para los Españoles en EE.UU. by Peter Dougherty

La Hoja de Ruta Fiscal y Financiera para los Españoles en EE.UU. by Madrid-based finance professional Pete Dougherty is a short, handy book intended for Spanish citizens who need to understand banking and taxes in the US.

The book is divided into sections describing various aspects of culture, banking, and taxation, as well as the social and economic reasons for their implementation. The book has a fact-sheet layout, which can well-serve the target audience as a supporting tool for navigating complex economic matters in addition to cultural habits, such as the confounding practice of tipping in the USA.

While the book contains useful information, it is somewhat disordered in its layout and would benefit from a re-organization of sections into practical themes that show the progression of using the banking and tax system, and their laws. The book may also be missing out on a potential audience as it is presented only for Spanish citizens when Spanish-speaking immigrants from the Americas comprise a far bigger population, so the title and content could be updated to incorporate all Spanish speakers.

However, as a methodical guide to assist with a citizenship exam for the hallowed Green Card, this helpful, quick read would be a trustworthy addition to any Spanish-speaking person’s studies during the complicated process of settlement in the US.
