HBR Guide to Finance Basics for Managers (HBR Guide Series)

If you’re inexperienced in finance, this is a great crash course and reference guide, especially the glossary. It is best to refer to and retake the quizzes, as well.

Take a few days or less to finish even though I am not native speaker. Helpful to learn how to understand a company's financial status. And nice tips on not fully reply on numbers which might not tell you the full story.

This book was a huge help for me as I was fighting getting through financial management in an MBA program. I never thought I would make it as everything was over my head-I obtained this book and my world had changed. This book aided in making the concepts more understandable and I was grateful that I found it. I loved this so much that I subscribed to HBR and have made other purchases in their "guide to" series. I would (and have) recommend this to others that are or think they may be struggling in understanding the broad world of finance.

This should be the go-to book for anyone wishing to learn more about finance. After getting my MBA, I wish that I had known about this book sooner. It would have saved me a lot of trouble and late nights trying to decipher complicated textbooks. Many finance professors do not explain topics well. This book tells you everything you need to know in easy to understand terms. This is one of the best book purchases I've ever made!

If you didn't go to business school, but now you find yourself managing a business in the field that you studied, this material is essential. It covers basic business bookkeeping, how to read the three most common accounting reports, how financing works, and then explains why the information matters to line managers. I only regret not reading this 15 years ago.

Not really a contiguous/coherent "book" in the traditional sense... It's a collection of disparate articles and excerpts from other books, so the flow from topic to topic is disjointed, the examples/illustrations are inconsistent, etc. If you take each topic in isolation, then each section is an interesting primer on its own. A few chapters of this guide are excerpts from another book, "Financial Intelligence, Revised Edition: A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean" by Karen Berman & Joe Knight, which I had read just before I read this HBR Guide... "Financial Intelligence" is much more comprehensive, consistent, and easier to follow... If I were to choose between this HBR Guide & "Financial Intelligence", I'd just read "Financial Intelligence" and skip this one.

This is a great book with basic and mid advanced finance concepts. A great read for everyone that is in business

Covers the basics of income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement and how they are useful in business management. Also provides overview of profit vs. cash, metric management and dynamics of CFO and operational management.
