To understand the fiscal decisions companies make, and to successfully prepare to make choices for your own company, you must know how to read financial statements. Financial Decisionmaking: A CPA/Attorney Perspective, begins with the basics, explained in a non-technical manner that anyone who knows how to add, subtract, multiply and divide will be able to understand.

You will learn how to analyze balance sheets, income statements, cash flow analyses and other documents. Once you understand these fundamental elements to analyzing and managing finances, you will be able to assess the impact those statements will have on your business and how it will affect your future. Once you have gained the confidence to make wise, informed business decisions, you can focus on making more money than your competition.

Financial Decisionmaking is written for the business owner, the employee who wants to understand or contribute to the financial state of his or her company, and the entrepreneur who wants to be well-informed before making an investment. If you have ever had problems understanding your banker or doubts about investing in a startup venture, Financial Decisionmaking is for you.
