 Accounting for the rest of us May 10, 2010
I run a small and busy service business where I am one of the service providers. I have always used CPA's to do my taxes and have always been left feeling lost, confused, burdened by tons of reports they couldn't or didn't explain to me. I muddled through but enough was enough so I started to educate myself. This book is a gold mine. It is so readable, so understandable and so funny (yes, he puts in wonderful amusing examples -- Uncle Roscoe's yacht and such). I cannot think of anything I would expect to be more dull and boring that an accounting text but this one is fun to read, easy to understand and the problems at the end of the chapter are on point. I have to work on them to get the right solution thus reinforcing the principle. I would hardily recommend this book to anyone who has to handle money or talk to accountants. I feel confident to deal with my next accountant far more beneficially than past experiences have been.

review of Robert Cooke's Finance for Nonfinancial Managers Mar 03, 2010
An excellent tutorial in small business financial understanding and management. Clear, well-written, highly palatable presentation of a normally dry subject. Emphasis on concepts, with enough practical numerical examples to make the point. The book will not make you an accountant, but it will give you basic skills, the ability to understand accountant-speak, and a good grasp of the underlying asset-based long range financial perspectives. I found the self-test exams at the ends of the chapters helpful. I have looked through a number of books on this subject and this is the only one I've found that gave me the information I wanted in such a direct and accessible way. Thank you Mr. Cooke!

 Great book, worthless on-line exam close to fraud Apr 11, 2007
The book is great, and a big thank you to the writers. When it came to the on-line exam and certification, I am still strugeling with the Mc-graw hill support. After sending them two emails I finaly got to the exam on the internet: [...].
BUT, after I finished the exam, they basicly just said thank you and good bye. What I wanted when I passed the test with 90% was a form where I could enter my adress so they could send me the certificate, but no no. Two emails later, I havent heard a word from them yet. Mc-graw hill - this sux and if feels like you are close to commiting fraud when it is so difficult to first find the exam and impossible and close to impossible to get the certificate. This was not what I expected when I saw "Earn certificate of achievement through the free on-line examination" on the book cover. Without this trubble, the book would easily get five stars.

A good start Nov 15, 2006
Very helpful for the student thinking of pursuing a degree in finance. If you have no finance or business experience, this is a good place to start.
