Here is a perfect introduction to financial accounting for non-financial managers, stock market investors, undergraduate business and MBA students, lawyers, lenders, entrepreneurs, and more. Most introductory finance and accounting books either fail because they are written by accountants for accountants or the authors "dumb down" the concepts until they are virtually useless. Financial Statements deftly shows that all this accounting and financial reporting stuff is not rocket science and that anyone can understand it!

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.

Excellent if you don't have no exposure to finance
What did you like most about Financial Intelligence?
As a broad basic overview it is excellent.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The profit and loss statement was my favourite, although the balance sheet came in a close second. Seriously though, why does Audible continually ask questions like this for non-fiction books??? I think they do it just to push my buttons. I mean I love Audible, but crap like asking non relevant questions for certain types of books should be an easy fix.
What does Tom Zingarelli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
There is an accompanying PDF, so even if you listen to the audio you can always refer to the PDF where required.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Seriously? Seriously???? Yup, when i read financial statements I always cry, unless of course they are the financial statements of our local or federal government, then I just laugh at the abuse.
Any additional comments?
I have a background in finance and bought this as a brief refresher. For that purpose it was a waste of time. If you do not have a background, or only have a brief exposure to finance/ accounting then this book is an excellent start. Happy listening.
