The book helps beginners to build a helicopter view about the finance concepts. The book very well organized that make it easy to read. It divides the concepts into small sections and cover it at a very high level.
It took me about 3 days to finish it. I recommend it for beginners, and those who want to build a mind map about the finance concepts.
I have an MBA. Although I no longer run a business, knowledge of finance is something we should all possess. When I consider my current financial position, it is difficult for me not to conclude that an understanding a finance made a considerable difference. The context of Stuart Warner's book is business so the average person is unlikely going to be interested in every finance secret, the author shares. Nevertheless, there is enough here to provoke most people to have a look at their finance and think about what they need to do to make their money work harder for them. For me, the book was a helpful reminder that I have a natural instinct for business and there lies an entrepreneur inside of me that wants to express himself. Where I go with this is not immediately clear. When it does become clear the secrets shared in this book will serve as tramlines that enable my business enterprise or any business enterprise to understand accounting fundamentals, make a profit, manage cash, budget, evaluate business opportunities and measure business performance. Well written and informative.
Consider it a table of contents that comes with brief explanations. It’s good revision for revision of concepts for those who are coming back to the topic or a good beginner book, depending on the type of knowledge seeker.
