Useful text for high-level analysis A budding entrepreneur needs some knowledge of business finance and operations. This text constitutes a short course on Finance an Accounting Principles. "Financial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs" provides an insightful overview into the meanings of financial numbers while not really delving into the depths of accounting required for a complete analysis. It is useful - especially from a strategic perspective, and it is easy to assimilate. I. "Five Stars" according to RJG. Bought it for a class and it was helpful! Will do an thorough read later!. Lee Altman said Overall a clear guide on an unnecessarily complex subject. Concise & clarifying introduction /on the subject. Notwithstanding & given that accounting principles are not overly logical for science trained readers, I would have welcomed a bit more explaining on the reasons why accounting has a tendency to use such seemingly complicated methods to simple numerical exercises.
