  Financial Intelligence Set: What You Need to Know to Succeed
 
Calculating and assessing the overall financial health of the business is an important part of any managerial position. But many managers can’t read a balance sheet, wouldn’t recognize a liquidity ratio, don’t know how to calculate return on investment (ROI), and suffer from a fear of finance.

It includes: “HBR Guide to Finance Basics for Managers ebook + Tools” which provides the fundamentals of financial literacy; “Financial Intelligence: A Manager’s Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean” (Ebook) by Karen Berman, Joe Knight, and John Case, which arms managers with practical strategies for improving their companies’ performance; “HBR Tools: EBITDA” (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization), a tool that will help you master the key concepts of EBITDA; and the “HBR Guide to Data Analytics for Managers ebook + Tools” which helps managers tease insight from the data and use those findings to inform their decisions.
