Easy to read 25 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
Easy to read book that introduces Finance subjects to non-Financials. The lay-out of the book with tips, checklist and things to remember makes it a runner for a quick refresher or quick intro of the basics. For those who have a basic knowledge and who would like to go one step beyond, it won't be sufficiently detailed.

A great, easy to read book with well explained example financial reports to make understanding much easier. A must for those who want to know more, but don't yet know the lingo. Highly recommended, easy and quick read.
