Finance for beginners

What are some of the key insights from the field of finance, for business owners, managers, and investors? Let me walk you through five big ideas that can help you improve your business, and build a better understanding of decision making and financial reporting:
1. Profit is not necessarily the same as cash flow.
2. Each financial statement tells a story.
3. Book value (what a company is worth on paper, based on the balance sheet) is not necessarily the same as market value (what someone is willing to pay for it).
4. There are many ways to drive Operating Income!
5. Time value of money.

Awesome video. A concise presentation packed with useful knowledge.

This content is pivotal. A book with analogous insights I read was a turning point. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk

[senakasenarathna]

The presentation s by u are exceptionally good. Will help any body interested in multiple ways. I have recommended these to do many young professionals in different disciplines to enhance their knowledge and also to enhance their career prospects.

You are spot on. QA is part of my walk in life, If I catch anything, I'll share with you. btw, you will likely see my "get a mic" comment cause while your voice of gold is an asset, the mic your're using... well, not so much.
