Synopsis

The Definitive Guide to Managing the Numbers takes you step-by-step through the whole process of "doing the numbers," assuming no specialised prior knowledge. It explains how to use standard PC software to simplify the process and cross-check your results. It reveals shortcuts and tricks that will help make you a financial wizard.

You will not only be able to produce an outstanding set of financials, you will also have a much clearer understanding of what they mean and how to use them to be a more effective manager. Moreover, you won’t fear dealing with people who make numbers their business: instead talk their language, win the arguments, and never be intimidated by a finance meeting ever again.

Daunted by financials? This is the book for you.
