Publisher's 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"!

Very well explained in an easy way.

Financial Management (The Ultimate Guide to Planning, Organizing, Directing, and Controlling the Financial Activities of an Enterprise) acted like a learning springboard for me by providing a foundation for me to read deeper into finance. I love this book.

Great book, a must read

It is an easy to follow book covering all areas of Financial Management. I recommend the book to anyone working in the financial industry but most important to regulators.

Life Changing Book!

Life altering financial management. Love the simplicity, the common sense & the breakdown of steps to take to truly put your money to work for you - rather than continue to be slave to lenders.

An Awesome book.

Because of this fabulous book I have added more value to my bookkeeping clients. Financial inquiry is a large part of business health and being able to explain to my clients what the numbers mean on their reports is priceless.

Good for those with little knowledge.

Someone suggested me this and indeed this audiobook is amazing! This would have made undergrad accounting courses that much easier. Great gift for high school grads or pre-business students. If you have a simple degree in business this book is a recurrence of your financial and managerial accounting courses in undergrad
