“The importance of knowing accounting can not be underestimated, it’s the language of business. If you don't know it, it’s like being in a foreign country without knowing the language.”

Warren E. Buffett,
CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.

You can now...

• Sort out your confusion about financial statements with one clear, simple picture!
• Take control of your business’s financial health and direction!

• Inspire and motivate your entire organization around the numbers!
• Create a system that promotes people managing your business effectively!
• Use an asset and business management system that puts you back in charge!

Consider these important FACTS:

1. Many non-financial business-people do not really use financial information, because it is generally presented in disconnected fragments.
2. The fragments are not connected, so the cause-and-effect relationships are not clear.
3. There is no clarity to distinguish between profit and cashflow.
4. There is no useful bottom line for either the cash flow statement or for the balance sheet.
5. There is no distinction between what's most important versus what’s less important.
6. There is no one-page summary of important financial information.
7. There is no picture of trends through time; instead they only see one-column financial statements.
8. Frequently financial ratios are not used.
9. There is no standard financial glossary.; The word "capital" can be used in 10 ways with financial statement information (excluding the term "capital punishment").
10. There is no operational story to go with the financial numbers, which makes the numbers dry, dull, and boring — disconnected from reality.
11. There is no regular group action-planning (huddling) around applying what the numbers tell us.
12. The information is generally presented in a detailed left-brain format, and without summarization.
13. Many people are given the information without the training needed for applying it.
