Since its release in 2006, Financial Intelligence has become a favorite among managers who need a guided tour through the numbers, helping them to understand not only what the numbers really mean but also why they matter. This new, completely updated edition brings the numbers up to date and continues to teach the basics of finance to managers who need to use financial data to drive their business. It also addresses issues that have become even more important in recent years, including questions around the financial crisis and those around broader financial and accounting literacy.

Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories of real companies, Financial Intelligence gives nonfinancial managers the confidence to understand the nuance beyond the numbers to help bring everyday work to a new level.

I read a few finance books and they were mostly terrible. This is one of the best ones I’ve ever read. It’s very interesting and relatable. It actually explains how the financials relate to business decisions.

Many of the other books just explain with everything else without relating it to the bigger picture.

my goal was to listen to this in the background as I worked and pick up on even 20% of what was said. I plan to do this again at some point and I think that overall it is worthwhile. :-) this would probably also be handy if you sat down and actually paused every so often to make sure you understand each part very well.

pretty good

It was a joy and sometimes a challenge to learn about the concepts in this book. This text seems to act as a primer for the language and topic of finance, giving the reader a sense of the topic’s gravitas as well as possible applications. It has been an important part of my financial literacy education.
