Customer Reviews

Multiple year statements would make this book top notch

The author explains quite well the contents of the book. I would give this book 5 stars but for the fact it lacks sections on mutiple year statements and examples of dicounted cash flow and IRR calculations. Before reading the book, I couldn't write a financial statement. Now I've written one albeit without IRR forecast.


a clear and practical guide

This is a fabulous introduction for the novce (like me). The book clearly defines terms and presents material in a conceptual order that really makes sense. It is also laid out very well visually, breaking out concepts and clearly linking text to examples of different kinds of financal statements, which is a very effective technique for illustrating the topic at hand. The last chapters of the book include an introduction to ratio analysis, which is a useful beginning for individual investors interested in securities analysis.


Clear and Helpful

When trying to start or run a buisness, knowing how to handle one's accounts and finances can become a very important issue for the small buisness owner. As I read this book, the complex ways of keeping a buisness's records became much clearer to me, so much that I was able to fully comprehend the meanings and motives behind the ways that the book was written. I reccomend this book, mainly because I believe it is of great use to anyone who wishes to learn a great deal about finacial statements.
