In this episode, we examine Financial Intelligence by Karen Berman, Joe Knight, and John Case, a practical and accessible guide designed to help non-financial managers make sense of financial data. The book breaks down the fundamentals of key financial statements, clarifies how judgement and estimation affect reported numbers, and introduces essential financial ratios used in performance evaluation. We explore how the authors use real-world examples to bring clarity to accounting principles and highlight the importance of financial literacy in driving sound business decisions. While not aimed at financial experts, the book equips managers with the tools to confidently interpret numbers and contribute more effectively to organisational success.
