One of the best books on the topic I have ever read! By linking the financial statements together, the author provides a comprehensive understanding of how one affects the other! Buy this book!
Fantastic Clarity June 2, 2000

As an MBA student and a director of a small business, I doubt I have read a more useful book. Together with his 'Budgeting a la Carte', John Tracy cuts to the heart of company financials in a very clear and readable manner. I never thought I'd sit up and get excited about this subject, but these 2 books really shed light on the nuts and bolts of company finance without being long winded or dull. A 'must read' for anybody trying to get to grips with this subject and any small business owner not trained in accounting. Well done Mr Tracy!
One of the most useful presentations of this topic ever. July 11, 1999

I have used this book to teach people with absolutely no training in accounting to understand financial statements. It appeals to non-quantitative and quantitative audiences alike. Non-quantitative audiences appreciate the plain language in which the book is written. Quantitative audiences immediately see how financial statements are laid out from a modelling point of view and invariably start coding up spreadsheets. People who need to explain anything related to financial statements should thoroughly read this book to see how clearly this topic can be treated.Another aspect of this book is the ratio of success-to-effort one gets out of reading this book. Professsor Tracy's experience and time spent thinking about this topic is clearly demonstrated by his ability to explain just enough to allow even the rank beginner to understand financial statements.
So good, our investment club is all reading it October 1, 1998

No matter how hard I listen to people explain financial reports to me, I just don't get it. This book is a show-n-tell, which for me, is the way I learn. Don't get me wrong, this is not a "simple" book. Our investment club is meant to be educational. This book is an excellent teacher.
Good resource for building Excel model--even better if... December 1, 1997

This book is an excellent resource for those trying to build a spreadsheet model. It would be even more useful if it had numbers to tie-out to for monthly and quarterly financial statements
