Understanding the numbers behind business decisions

Financial Intelligence treats financial data as something managers need to interpret, not just receive. This revised edition introduces finance fundamentals for nonfinancial managers and connects them to decisions made in everyday business work. It also addresses questions raised by the financial crisis and the need for broader financial and accounting literacy. Examples involving real companies give the concepts a business context. The emphasis is on understanding what figures mean, why they matter, and what a manager should consider before using them to guide a decision.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Managers without a finance background
  • Professionals who use financial data in business decisions
  • Teams seeking a shared foundation in financial and accounting concepts

Book overview

The book Inc. magazine calls one of "the best, clearest guides to the numbers" on the market.

Inc. magazine calls 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 calling it a "must-read" for decision makers without expertise in finance.

Since its release in 2006, Financial Intelligence has become a favorite among managers who need a guided tour through the numbers--helping them to understand not only what the numbers really mean, but also why they matter.

This new, completely 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 drive their business. It also addresses issues that have become even more important in recent years--including questions around 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 nonfinancial managers the confidence to understand the nuance beyond the numbers--to help bring everyday work to a new level.
