Finance, Plainly: Money, Statements and Valuation Explained From Scratch

A complete, plain-English introduction to finance, for people who have never studied it.

Finance, Plainly takes you from “what is money for?” to reading a company’s financial statements and asking what a business is worth. It assumes no finance background. Every term is explained when it first appears, and every idea is shown with a worked example, with the numbers checked.

Inside (125 pages, 14 chapters):

• Part 1, your own money: earning and spending, what you own and owe, why profit is not cash, building a budget that survives real life, interest and compounding, loans and EMIs, saving and the emergency fund
• Part 2, investing: stocks, bonds and funds, risk and diversification, costs, taxes and your own mind
• Part 3, how businesses work: the three financial statements, ratios, and what a business is worth
• Try-it exercises in each chapter, with answers at the back
• A glossary of 85 terms and a one-page formula sheet

Who it is for: beginners, students, career-changers, and anyone who wants to understand money and business without jargon.

Format: one PDF, 6 x 9 inch pages, easy to read on a phone, tablet or computer. Instant download.
