Finance Essentials for Managers delivers the key concepts you need to know, so you can master the topics required for moving to the next step in your career. Best of all, no prior accounting or finance experience is required.

Part 1: The Essentials delivers a solid overview of accounting, financial ratios, forecasting financial statements, valuing companies, investment research, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, options, and more.

Part 2: The Essentials Applied highlights which areas of finance you need to focus on and provides exercises for creating and forecasting financial statements, using investment research, and more.

Part 3: Beyond the Essentials illustrates five different case studies on specific finance topics.
