What determines a company's financial health and what drives company value? Knowledge of financial analysis and business valuation is not always accessible for non-financial specialists, such as managers with a more strategic focus. Nevertheless, having this intellectual skillset can leverage your ability to make better strategic decisions. The authors have structured this book in a way that enables non-specialists to grasp all relevant financial information using tools that allow efficient financial analyses. For non-financial experts, the book starts by presenting the essentials of financial analysis and business valuation in a structured way. However, this book is not only written for non-financial specialists. More experienced readers may find new perspectives for conducting financial analyses. Professionals who work with relatively 'static' financial data concerning solvability and debt will welcome the more dynamic financial toolset incorporated in this book. This toolset will enable them to get to the heart of the (financial) matter faster by focusing on relevant data, which will provide the reader a better insight in the company's value.
