Reviews

[Terrance]

A must read book for any non-financial business manager. If you don't understand the financial aspects of your business, this book will give you a quick up to date know how to give you insight. Pretty much an overview of what would be covered in finance 101 at a business school.

[Janice]

While these books aren't nearly as interesting as a novel, and they take me a long time to read, there is some good material. While some of this is pretty basic, I did find some helpful information about budgeting and analysis. I thought the book was well written.

[Elaine]

All of finance: statements, ratios and analysis, budgets, taxes, capital markets, and valuation.

This book is in the library.

[M. Labadi]

One of the best book on finance for non finance professionals. I bought it and read it a while back, it has been a great reference for me.
