Very informational book, but the language is written for people already in the business world. It can be dense and difficult to understand at times.

I was a financial manager for three years without formal financial education. This is hands down one of the worst informative management books I’ve read. Do not read. Much better off with YouTube videos for any topics covered in this book.

good book

[Will West · Rating 3 out of 5]

It has a lot of information. It trys to give detail but fails... needing better explanation, better labelling, and step by step visuals for ever new piece of information. It tries to cover way to many items/topics which some only get a quarter or half a page leaving you more confused then before . It was a very hard read. You would have to know the subject before you read which defeats the purpose. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE USED AS A REFRESHER. To reference.

Some of the drivel my then new boss suggested I read when I became a manager in a law firm. Painful. A subject that bores me to tears. Hey, I gave it the old college try.

Good book for the basics. Does exactly what it says.

[Chanmali Liv · Rating 2 out of 5]

I find the section about ratio analysis along with the examples of financial statements in regards to industry standards quite helpful but I skipped through most of the topics.
