5.0 out of 5 stars Essential 20 May 2007
Format:Paperback
This book may not top you Christmas wish list but it is an absolute must for entrepreneurs, executives and business people alike. Richard weaves his craft and translates years of first hand experience into a highly readable, enjoyable and, most importantly, understandable read. I have applied many of the recommendations in this book to my own scenarios and the results have been instantaneous. No longer do I fear the darkest realms of the financial departments, analysts or executives - this book has provided with the insight, weapons and strategy to battle upon an even keel. This book could be the greatest investment you ever make.

By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
You'd expect a book on business finance to be dry, dull and soporific - that is, a great cure for insomnia. Well, wake up, because Richard Stutely's manual on numbers for nonfinancial managers blows a bracing gust of fresh air into a stale subject. The business expert's witty asides, funny anecdotes and tongue-in-cheek approach make for a relatively painless introduction to the basics of number crunching. More important, he focuses on making sense of figures and data and on applying the knowledge they provide. getAbstract suggests this instructive guide to new managers who seek a primer on business finance; business students who need a comprehensible revision aid; seasoned nonfinancial executives, who will refer to it again and again; and novice business owners, who'll find that its easy-to-use layout really helps make the material accessible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. 13 April 2010
By A. Dale
Format:Paperback
If you're unsure about financial terminology, how to read a balance sheet, how these figures are arrived at then this book is excellent. It runs you through basic financial maths and is all in all a must read. I can't recommend it enough.
If all you are interested in is how to interpret a financial statement then start with The Interpretation of Financial Statements
It's a nifty little book.
