Unabridged Audiobook
Easy to read, easy to understand, and I have been able to apply the ideas right away. I wish this was the introductory text in MBA programs - great place to start, as finance is, more than anything, a language.
Wow great book. I have quite a few of these financial statement books but I keep referring back to it over the others. This book helped me visualize an income statement, balance sheet, cash flow sheet in my head and navigate through the numbers. Great great great!
overall I feel like every manager in a company should be familiar with the concepts presented in this book. There are other ways to learn this information, but this is probably one of the most approachable I have seen to date
Very good book! If you have no financial experience in your company and want to get there, this will help tremendously. I listen while I drive and then read in the rare slow moments of life. The way they lay it out helps non-financial management get a much clearer picture of what a business should and shouldn't be doing with their numbers.
Overall the book does a good job at presenting foundational financial concepts in a way that is easy to read and understand. However I feel like the authors spend a lot of time attempting to convince the reader about why the concepts in the book are important
Great book on fundamentals. It’s a good review book for traders and investors, it’s a good preparation tool for managers in companies. But it’s probably best suited for those who are outside of finance and want to learn about it. Easy to read and understand
I encourage anyone who wants to get ahead in their job to read this, and then think about your company and how to apply the ideas. In this day and age, financial intelligence is critical to getting ahead!
Great book to introduce you to the key concepts of finance, as they apply to every person in a company. If you're working in finance, you likely already know this information, but if you're in any other department, it is the perfect book
I view this book as providing an excellent foundation - the more you build your core knowledge of the subject the better. Remember the key in business is making better business decisions - don't be overly impressed by people who can spout GAAP at you with in terms you don't understand
I recommend this book to everyone. Accounting and finance are not easy subjects especially if you jump in and start with the technical aspects of it. Put simply the better you understand the numbers - the better your business decisions will be
