What's You Learn?
Numbers tell stories – learn their language or miss the plot – Financial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs by Berman & Knight demystifies accounting for business owners without finance degrees.

This comprehensive financial literacy summary and main concepts explain:

  • Cash vs Profit - Why profitable companies fail from poor cash management
  • Financial Statements - Read balance sheets and P&Ls like strategic roadmaps
  • Key Ratios - Track gross margin, cash cycle, and ROI for decision-making
  • Accounting Assumptions - Understand how timing and estimates affect reported numbers


The hidden gem: Most entrepreneurs confuse revenue with cash flow, creating false confidence before bankruptcy.

Ready to Click.Apply.Grow™? Calculate your cash conversion cycle. Review financials weekly, not monthly. Ask "why" behind every variance. Business owners mastering these concepts make 3x better strategic decisions than intuition alone.

Fluent in finance, fluent in success.
