The magazine "Inc." has called it one of the "best, clearest guides to the numbers" on the market. Readers agree, saying it's exactly "what I need to know" and refer to it as a "must-read book" for decision-makers without a background in finance. Since its release in 2006, "Financial Intelligence" has become a favorite among managers who need a guide through the numbers - helping them understand not only what the numbers actually mean, but also why they matter. This new, fully updated edition brings the numbers up to date and continues to teach the basics of finance to managers who need to use financial data to advance their business. It also addresses issues that have become even more important in recent years - including questions surrounding the financial crisis and those around broader financial and accounting literacy. Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories of real companies, "Financial Intelligence" gives non-financial managers the confidence to understand the nuance behind the numbers - helping to elevate the day-to-day work to a new level.
