The Basics of Understanding Financial Statements: Learn How to Read Financial Statements by Understanding the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, and the Cash Flow Statement

Well written; explains the subject quite nicely. I am a lawyer and also have an MBA. This was a gift for a physician friend.

The author strides for a basic explanation while still maintaining depth and he blends these two beautifully. I highly recommend for anyone interested in investing.

Basic and easy to understand introduction to financial statements. This is a high level review. I definitely learned something, but you may want to consider another book if you want a in-depth / detailed dive into financial statements.

Basic financial essentials explained simply and very much straight forward. It is a quick read to educate yourself. I would recommend to others.

To analyze financial statements for the benefit of deciding whether or not to invest in a company, you first need to understand what the financial statements are telling you. This book gives you a very easy to understand breakdown of the financial statements so that you can begin to do the analysis. I would recommend this book to anyone who has little to no understanding of the financial statements. You can easily take your education further from here but this is an excellent start.

As a beginner who is starting my investing journey, the book has provided me with clear, concise, and very well-written information. Highly recommended!!!

The is a refresher for anyone who has been in business and around financial management. Placement of monies, assets, and liabilities in reading the financial reporting sheets for the valuing of companies.

Great review for accountants and non accountants alike. Author has great way of explaining the concepts in a concise easy to understand way.

Lo leggi in poche ore e trovi quello che serve

I loved reading this book, and it explains all the three financial statements in a very simple language that even people without a financial background would be able to understand.. I have read it twice and would give it another shot to remember all the concepts

The basics are not very basic, for someone with very little financial knowledge (90% of the population) we need to be shown why it is not told how it is

My first impression was, that this book is extremely short for the 10€ it costs. And I mean outrageously short. I read through it in 3 hours. Curiously, I learned everything I bought this book for. Its is structured very simply. It contains an example balance sheet, an income statement and a cash flow statement. Then it continues to explain every single number on each of those in a few simple sentences and how they are connected. A few remarks whether certain constellations might indicate a company living on credit or selling out to stay in the competition or having a competitive advantage. And thats it. If all you need is a very accessible explanation of the most important accounting terms and you're willling to pay 10€ to get them fast, this is an extremely good buy.

Good book for anyone wanting to get a clear understanding of financial statements.
