  • Been trying to understand business finances forever and finally found something that clicks. Read this during my morning commute and actually started understanding balance sheets for the first time. The author breaks down complicated stuff in a way that makes sense to us regular folks who arent financial wizards.

    I used what I learned to analyze my small business's cashflow and wow - spotted some issues I never wouldve noticed before. The examples are super practical. My only gripe is that some of teh charts could be formatted better on kindle, but the content itself is solid.
