Key financial concepts you need to know to succeed in today's world of work-from the new Essential Series for business professionals
From reading an income statement to analyzing valuation methodologies, understanding the basics of finance is an essential part of your professional knowledge tool kit, even if it's not your primary role in the company. In Finance Essentials for Non-Financial Professionals, you'll find everything you need to know about key concepts-no prior accounting or finance experience is required-so you can master the topics you need to further your career. This book is not based on theory; instead it is based on Chris Haroun's work experience on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs and in the venture capital industry and based on his experience working at the top hedge funds in the world.
PART I: 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 II: THE ESSENTIALS APPLIED starts with an assessment to see which areas of finance you need to focus on, and exercises for creating and forecasting financial statements, using investment research and more. Also included in this book is a link to download Chris Haroun's comprehensive 100 step investment research template that he designed in Microsoft Excel in order to analyze the financials, fundamentals, valuation and much more on any company.
PART III: BEYOND THE ESSENTIALS illustrates five different case studies on specific finance topics, including investments in Meta (formerly Facebook) and other pre-IPO and post-IPO investments that Chris Haroun has participated in.
Filled with practical advice, useful tools, assessments, and more, Finance Essentials for Non-Financial Professionals ensures that you'll walk away feeling fully prepared to put your sharpened skills into action right away-even if you've never received formal training in finance before.
