Product Description
Financial reports speak their own language, and managers without a strong finance background often find themselves bewildered by what is being said. Finance for NonFinancial Managers helps managers become familiar with essential financial information, showing them how to "speak the language of numbers" and implement financial data in their daily business decisions. In addition, it clarifies how and why financial decisions impact business and operational objectives.

Great Overview of Accounting and Finance July 26, 2008

I started an MBA program a year ago without any background in finance or accounting. I wish I had read this book first. MBA classes often launch into advanced discussion on topics, bringing out nuances before adequately introducing the basics the way you would to someone who knows nothing of the topic. This book presents a skeleton for multiple topics: accounting, internal accounting, financial statement analysis and entrepreneurial finance. It is explained very clearly with examples, and has little boxes around all the key terms so that you can quickly reference topics.
It was clearly written by someone who has spent a long enough time in the field to be able to explain things simply, realistically and clearly. I recommend this book highly to people who feel a bit lost in basic accounting and finance. If you read this, you won't flinch when someone brings up convertible debt, amortization, P/E ratios, preferred stock and the like. Note that there's no discussion of net present value and other corporate finance topics.

Business Basics Bestseller 1: The Easy, Interesting, Open-book Look at the Game of Business Numbers! 2nd Edition
If you never had this F&A stuff explained to you before, you will like "Business Basics Bestseller 1" as a starting point. This is not a suggestion that you substitute it for this book, just that you check it out as well. The BBB #1 book was written by a guy who is not an accountant -- imagine what that can do for cutting through the jargon accountants love without even knowing it.
BBB #1 will introduce you to the basics of business including the terms behind the numbers and where all the formulas come from before you plow into a true "finance and accounting" text. Search for "Business Basics Bestseller 1" and add it to your consideration. It can be one of your best investments. At less than 150 pages, you can zip through it.
Quick Access to Foundational Information March 8, 2007

This book provides a solid overview of the basic information required to understand Finance. It is a great read for the person new to Finance and it is also a great refresher to those who might have had Finance classes and maybe even courses years ago. What is great about this book is that you have a few chapters devoted to each segment of Finance.
A very good book that is easy to read and understand. Consider this book if you are looking to better understand that which is called "Finance".
Finance for Non-Financial Managers July 26, 2006
Edward C. Story (Marina del Rey, CA. USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Gene Siciliano has written an easy-to-read (conversational), easy-to-understand yet comprehensive review of everything from why to have financial statements in the first place and the part played by financial reporting both within and without a company to the meaning of the financial reports themselves and finally to how to plan and finance your company. Highly recommend the book. A good review for experienced managers and a must-read for those who want to know more about finance and the financial management of all sized companies.
Clear, Concise & Useful May 15, 2006

As a banker, I sit down with a lot of business owners who just don't understand the financial dynamics of their business. If they only took the time to read this clear, concise and useful book, they would be so further ahead of the game, and more likely to get the financing they need. It's a must read for any business owner, or business professional who feels they need to increase their knowledge of finance. Great Job!
