Summary

If you're looking for a practical audiobook that provides useful knowledge about financial management, then pay attention....

Whether you are running a social enterprise with just two full-time staff members, an Internet start-up, a craft business on Etsy, or a Fortune 500 multinational, you will need to have a good feel for financial management to get the best out of it. 

Are you a small-business owner, student, or a senior manager in another discipline who needs to brush up on financial concepts? If so, this audiobook will explain finance simply and with plenty of real-life examples that make it easy to see how to apply the concepts in practice. 

This audiobook is also concentrated on explaining what the financial figures mean and how to figure out the message they are sending, rather than on how to construct a balance sheet or do an audit. Many trained accountants focus on the "right answers" rather than reading between the lines to see what is going on - this audiobook takes the opposite approach. 

Here are some of the topics that are discussed in this audiobook: 

  • What is financial management and why do you need it?
  • Financial statements
  • Looking at cash flow
  • Forecasting, budgeting, and flex
  • Capital spending and discounted cash flow analysis
  • Some aspects of treasury management
  • Managing your working capital
  • Hedging your bets
  • Management accounting
  • Ratios - your management dashboard
  • A quick look at risk management
  • And much, much more

So, if you want to learn more about financial management in less time compared to reading a tedious textbook, click "Buy Now"!

Give this book a try.

These book is great for start-up business owners looking for somewhat easy to listen that will support them with the need to know information. If you're just starting out or perhaps you just need to be repeated of the things you already know, give this book a try.

Best place to learn Financial Management.

Even if you have no financial experience in your company and want to get there, this will enormously assist you. I listen while I drive and listen in the rare slow moments of life. The way they lay it out supports non-financial management get a much stronger picture of what a business should and shouldn't be doing with their numbers.

Partly an eye opener

The audible is easy to read even for a novice. The preliminary thought of being assigned to listen to this book for my masters course was dread, but I was pleasingly astonished of how user friendly the book was.
I have already recommend the book to friends as a non-academic read.

Don't completely agree.

Easy to read, easy to understand.

Decent audiobook to familiarize you to the key theories of finance, as they put on to everybody in a company. If you're employed in finance, you likely previously know this information, but if you're in any other sector, it is the perfect book.

For all employees at all levels...

I always try to interruption obstacles and most of my time is spent as an interpreter...truth be told, I’ve always wriggled with translating the financial vernacular...this book did it for me and has assisted me paint a picture and tell the story behind it so everyone understands.

Best for a non-financial background

I had been in search of quite some time for a book that would support me have an outline of a company's financial statements and issues ... and this was the one!

A must read for every employee.

This audiobook will give you a much better perspective on how finance for companies work and what matters when deciding to work for someone, work on something that will influence the balance sheet or even making an investment in a company. A very good finance book.
