Visual Finance: The One Page Visual Model to Understand Financial Statements and Make Better Business Decisions Paperback – November 26, 2015

Visual Finance is destined to become a classic. A highly respected professional friend recommended it to me. Given my regard for the coleague's opinion, I bought the kindle version immediately. I had barely got into it when I concluded the book contains so many gems that I needed to book mark and highlight, I ordered the paper copy. It was worth the investment.By the way, I'm a CPA with an undergraduate degree in Accounting. I got a better understanding from this book on how to explain accounting issues to non-finance executives in a jargon-free way than ever before.I highly recommend it! And if you really want to enjoy it, I will suggest the paper version for the best reading experience.

It's a value packed book that helps clarify the necessary terms and measurements in accounting. The formatting can be confusing and some sentences and wordings are awkward. There are also a few typos and punctuation errors. Excellent book overall.

This book was great for getting the basics down using visual aids. I learned a lot going through it and I think others will too.

Helpful, but could use more examples to help show application of the principles discussed.

I particularly like the way the author presented the financial statements graphically, which matches my learning style. I also like the tips at the end on how to identify accounting fraud.

The author presents the usually tedious accounting concepts in a very intuitive and engaging manner. He helps to create quick and powerful shortcuts for readers' own research. For instance, the pictures comparing Pfizer to Apple, or Amazon to HP are literally worth thousands of words and numbers. The book also makes obvious how to create simple and effective projects that can help engage very young students in a quite meaningful financial analysis.

Very clear description of the topic. Suitable for newcomers to the topic.

I have a Bachelor in Finance so this book is kind of basic for me. However it helped be to review vital information that I have forgotten. I recommend this book if you have little or not experience in finance topics. If you do have previous experience it's a very helpful and practical book to remember basic and key points on the topic.
