FinanceDog Founders' Book Named One of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time

2009-02-05

Financial Intelligence, the best seller from Harvard Business Press, was named 1 of the 100 best business books of all time.

Written by FinanceDog’s Karen Berman and Joe Knight, with John Case, "Financial Intelligence: A Manager’s Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean" was included in the new book, The 100 Best Business of All Time: What They Say, Why They Matter, and How They Can Help You (Portfolio; February 2009).

The authors of The 100 Best had their work cut out for them, especially considering that more than 10,000 new business books are written every year. Amazon lists 350,000 titles in their Business Management and Leadership section. Financial Intelligence was selected along with books like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Good to Great and The Tipping Point.

Originally released by Harvard Business Press in 2006, Financial Intelligence has also been adapted into three separate paperback versions specifically for entrepreneurs, IT professionals and HR professionals.

Based on their work training tens of thousands of managers and employees at many leading organizations, Berman and Knight wrote each version to provide readers with a deep understanding of:

  • The basics of financial measurement: reading income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and more

  • The art of finance: separating hard data from assumptions and estimates

  • The mechanics of analysis: calculating ratios, return on investment, and working capital

  • Cash and profit: knowing how these terms differ, and why cash is suddenly the "hot" number in corporate boardrooms and on Wall Street

  • Financial literacy and transparency: recognizing how they can boost performance
