Finance for the nonfinancial manager

by Herbert T. Spiro

Now in its fourth edition, Finance for the Nonfinancial Manager has emerged as an indispensable reference for managers, business owners, and executives. First published almost two decades ago, it has been completely updated to reflect the latest tax laws, the growing importance of an international perspective in economic analyses, and the increased use of computers for data storage and analyses. Filled with new charts, tables, and relevant examples, this complete guide spans the financial spectrum, from flexible budgets to zero based budgeting, cash flow to cash management, flat tax to tax shelters. It also offers keys to important skills such as calculating interest, deciphering financial statements, designing budgets, and applying break-even analysis. Each chapter concludes with a summary highlighting the major points covered, and a glossary of important terms is included for quick reference.
