Every Manager's Guide to Business Finance

Every Manager's Guide to Business Finance simplifies everything that an operating manager needs to know about how money flows into and out of the business. Written by a nonfinancial manager for nonfinancial managers, it explains how you can maximize the financial contribution of your group to the company and how to work effectively with the financial professionals so the needs of your organization are met. This book will also help you acquire the necessary money and asset management skills that you may need to get promoted - without turning you into a card-carrying number-cruncher.
Featuring fundamental financial concepts, lively examples, and illustrations, the author explores in detail how money is obtained, spent, and protected in business. Comprehensive yet easy to read, Every Manager's Guide to Business Finance is the first book for nonfinancial managers that covers such a broad range of critical topics in detail.
Because the focus is on what operating professionals need to know about their company's money, the chapter on accounting, for example, does not explain how to do accounting. Rather, it stresses the important concepts and uses of accounting in business. Likewise, coverage of cash management describes what you can do to maximize cash flow, but not how to set up a network for the best movement of cash. On the other hand, activities such as budgeting and employee compensation are handled by operating managers; therefore, their coverage concentrates on processes and techniques.
With Every Manager's Guide to Business Finance as your desktop reference, you'll get a handle on how your company's money ebbs and flows - and multiply your opportunities to get ahead.
