Financial Intelligence
Overview:
Succinct, easy-to-read chapters teach the fundamentals in a way that everyone can understand and put to work right away. And, with the help of entertaining stories and case examples, they take you behind the scenes to show where the numbers come from.
Since nobody can quantify everything, accountants and finance executives always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls, which can skew the numbers in one direction or another. This book helps you recognize and understand those biases, challenge or correct for them when necessary, and use this information to be a better manager.
You’ll learn:
- The basics of financial measurement: reading income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and more
- The art of finance: separating hard data from assumptions and estimates
- The mechanics of analysis: calculating ratios, return on investment, and working capital
- Cash and profit: knowing the difference between them, and why cash is suddenly the “hot” number in corporate boardrooms and on Wall Street
- Financial literacy and transparency: recognizing how they can boost performance
