Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

A popular guide to the best business and financial Websites is now all new and better than ever

" Whenever I’ve needed Web information to research either standard, specialized, or obscure valuation issues, I’ve regularly turned to Eva and Jan. Now these two nationally recognized experts have collaborated to produce a volume containing a blend of their extensive expertise in this area . . . an outstanding publication by the best in the business."
– Thomas E. Hilton, Chair, AICPA Business Valuation Subcommittee

"Best Websites is a smart collection of financial and business intelligence resources. Even better than its well-organized commentaries on quality free and for-pay information channels, it arms financial professionals with the knowledge to leverage their research time effectively. Nothing could be more valuable than that!"
– Susan M. Klopper, Manager of Research Services

(formerly Arthur Andersen’s director of the Business Research Center)

An invaluable tool for financial professionals who need easy access to a broad range of up-to-date financial and business information, the second edition of Best Websites for Financial Professionals, Business Appraisers, and Accountants can cut your Web-related research time in half and help you find the information you need to make the best decisions for your clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read Book for any Financial Professional, April 20, 2001

This review is from: The Best Websites for Business Appraisers, Accountants, and Financial Professionals (Paperback)

I was skeptical that another book could be different than any other on this same subject, but was I wrong - this is a "must-read" book for any financial professional, accountant, CPA and appraisal expert who conducts online research and looks for in-depth information. Lang and Tudor have outdone themselves. Bravo to a world-class effort! One piece of information in the first chapter alone more than covered the cost of the book.
