5.0 out of 5 stars The essentials of financial management in 400 pages, December 17, 2000

By	macktheknife (Northern, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Paperback)

"Analysis for Financial Management" is an excellent text that covers the major topics of financial management: how to evaluate and interpret financial statements, the tools a manager should use to forecast future earnings and manage growth, how to properly valuate businesses and investment opportunities, and so forth. This book is ideal if you are familiar with basic accounting and finance concepts but want a deeper understanding of finance in a corporate setting. Each chapter contains a recommended reading list for those who want a more thorough explanation and analysis of the topics covered. There is a website the author has put together that provides more examples and tools. Unlike other textbooks, this book actually has all the answers for exercises at the end of the chapters! Lastly, Higgins provides a number of examples and explains all the major concepts with a touch of humor. This is definitely one of the best books I've seen out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to finance, July 23, 2002

By	K. Scott Proctor (Wilmington, DE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Paperback)

I used the fifth edition of this wonderful book for the MBA Program at the Darden School at the University of Virginia and found it to be a great introduction to the field of finance. I also used the fifth edition to supplement my study materials for the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Program and found it to be of great value.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best introductory books related to finance on the market today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard made easy, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

I've done alot of studying of financial statements, but Higgins quickly pointed out some of my flaws in knowledge. He takes difficult material and makes it refreshingly easy. For example, Chapter 4 on sustainable growth is a must read. I never knew a company could grow into bankruptcy. In fact, I had a candidate in my portfolio. He takes balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flow and writes about them in understandable language.

Well, I've only studied a few chapters in depth. Can't wait to get to the rest of them.
