Marcia Press worked in public accounting as a tax CPA for what was then one of the Big Eight, moving later to her own practice. She handles the administrative part of the work for the Presses’ computer books — the tracking, calls, follow-ups, and research — and does the sanity checks on their initial drafts. She’s a fan of good wine, gardening, reading, and shopping, and is a serious gourmet cook.
