Whether you’re planning to climb the corporate ladder, launch a start-up, or simply understand the financial drivers behind business success, this book provides the foundation you need.

Practical, accessible, and written by someone who once stood in your shoes, The Money Machine is the guide to accounting and finance that every technically minded professional, entrepreneur and non-financial manager should read.
