About this audiobook

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.

    There is so much valuable and interesting information in this book, especially for those that know close to nothing about finance. In this regard of understanding some sort of glimpse into the finance world, I highly recommend this book.

    However, I wouldn't quite recommend it in audio book format, unless you excel in audio learning. There's a lot of information in the book, and for someone that is new to finance, it's a lot of new vocabulary, concepts, numbers, and even a few formulas which would be better to properly absorb at your own pace--if you have that option. I opted for the audio book version since the text is not on Scribd, but I will probably buy a hard copy in the future.

    Absolutely a must-read for anyone who's wondered how money works inside an organization. Easily digestible and very sensibly laid out.

    I should re-read it every 2 years to stay fresh.

    Excellent introduction into corporate financial accounting! It's written in very simple language and makes for an easy read even though the subject could be complicated. It's designed for non-financial managers who would like to understand how corporate finances work but it will work for anybody, including individual investors trying to make better sense of financial state of potential investment.
