    • It was my textbook in college, but it was an e-book.
Format: Hardcover
This book was one of the books I read in college, while studying Business Management & Leadership. In fact, it was one of the textbooks. I should read it again and use it as a reference when needed.

    • A Must-Read for Anyone Who Wants to Truly Understand the Numbers
Format: Hardcover
Financial Intelligence stands out because it never assumes the reader just wants to memorize financial terms. It constantly asks why you should care. Every chapter explains not just what a concept is, but why it matters in real business decisions. This approach made the learning process meaningful and engaging. It’s rare to find a finance book that respects your time and intelligence while also making the material so accessible. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to go beyond surface-level understanding. ... show more

    • Finance 0-100 in Under 300 Pages!
Format: Hardcover
This book was absolutely amazing! I took about a year of accounting courses in college, but never quite learned the intricacies of financial statement analysis. I wanted to learn not only about corporate finance, but also how to analyze financial statements. Thus, my search was on. After researching book stores and reading forums online, I learned about this book, which I looked up on Amazon.com. I love books that get straight to the point, so when I saw that this book covered corporate financial management and financial statement analysis in under 300 pages, I was in! I purchased the book from Amazon and I read it in about two weeks. I literally could not put it down. The authors speak like human beings and actually make math and finance fun and interesting. In those two weeks alone, I not only gained a better understanding of accounting, but I learned how to evaluate investments and make management decisions based on company finances. The book covers income statement analysis, balance sheet analysis, cash flow statement analysis, performance ratios, a bit of inventory management (like a financial intro to lean), and advanced capital expenditure analysis through concepts like discounted cash flow analysis. This book took me from feeling like I'd never understand certain things, to being able to discuss finance like an executive manager. I'm not kidding either, the book dives straight in and explains everything in a no nonsense approach. Financial Intelligence acted like a learning springboard for me by providing a foundation for me to read deeper into finance. I 100% recommend this book to anyone looking for a place to begin their finance studies. ... show more

    • Exactly what I was looking for!
Format: Hardcover
This was exactly what I was looking for! The best financial book I've ever read for non-financial managers. It really helped my understanding of corporate finance. I think very helpful for a small business owner as well to understand their business and starting thinking like a big business when making important financial decisions. It's important to note that this is not an accounting book (as the authors stated) and details of charts of accounts are left out. That said, it was clearly stated what the purpose was and it nailed it. I've purchased the book for my son who is in college studying business and was confused by his professors - I think it will help him clear things up. I plan on buying more for my colleagues. As crazy as it sounds, it was hard to put down - I just kept wanting to read more as it explained all the voodoo finance so well. Every business owner, sales rep, manager or anyone wishing to understand how finance is used for decision making should buy this book. ... show more
