Analysis for Financial Management Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate, 10th edition, Robert Higgins
This is a great book which explains financial management in a very understandable way. Everybody who wants to learn finance should have this book!
It's a very concise to the point book for people with some corp finance background but want to refresh or simply willing to recall some key concepts. Honestly, I've read just 3 to 4 corp finance relevant publications, and this is the only one I strongly recommended. Well, also worth to point out is - if you don't have any knowledge about corp finance, skip it.
This was a required book for grad school. Book was the exact edition requested by the professor. Fit my needs. Well written.
I expected this book to be very dry and to the point, focusing on the nuts and bolts of finance and little else. I was surprised once I started reading that it was actually written well, and with a sense of humor. Sure, some of it is the nerdy accountant joke type stuff, but there are also some witty and sarcastic quips too - it makes you feel like a real, normal person wrote the text rather than some robot professor.
That said, it also offers a comprehensive - if somewhat shallow - overview of financial management and analytic techniques. You'll learn about financial statements, forecasting, financing instruments, and evaluation of projects and firms. I think it is very helpful to read this if you have an interest in business, but not a strong background - definitely good for any future managers. It won't give you a super in depth view of everything a CFO might need to know and if you're really into corporate finance you'll likely have to look elsewhere pretty soon. Financial Management: Theory & Practice is a more in-depth option for those interested, though it doesn't have the same casual element.
