Romancing The Balance Sheet-Second Edition

Another GEM from Anil Lamba. It explains various aspects of Balance Sheet with simply tables/charts to explain minor points that are usually ignored by others. Highly recommended for both finance and non-finance persons.

Very nice

This is a great book if you want to know the basics of a balance sheet and understand how to make financially smart decisions in your business or at your job. It's a must for every entrepreneur or business heads. Concepts in 1st half were explained very well and I grasped them easily. I wish the 2nd half had more practical examples. The last few chapters were quite complex for new finance enthusiasts and it would have helped me understand them better if explained practically. I am sure if I read these chapters couple of times more I will grasp them as well but its always better to teach using practical examples so it becomes easy to remember.

I studied finance in business school and really struggled. So much so that I never tried to work in finance. I could never figure out some of the fundamental concepts of a balance sheet or a cash flow statement. Now as business leaders I have to look at these as part of my job. Given my past experiences I was struggling. On the suggestion of a colleague, I picked up Anil Lamba’s book. This book has significantly ( that’s an understatement) improved my understanding of these financial fundamentals and principles. I can finally start to make sense of the balance sheet and cash flow statement. But more than that I think I am now financially literate. I can now understand the financial health of a company. All the concepts are lucidly explained in a step by step manner with sufficient examples. I wish I had read this book in college. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand how to make sense of these financial reports and improve their understanding of business finance.

Truly amazing

A best book on finance management to explain it to layman in a lucid, simple language. Without any use of technical jargon and equally good quality print & paper used for presentation.

Excellent book

Best for beginner

it is explained in such simple language that just about anybody will understand it.I personally recommend it to anybody in business and has not exposed to financial management.

I tried so many books, Apps, Video tutorials to learn basics of financial accounting. This book is like spoon feeding to beginners. Now I can easily read the balance sheet and profit and loss account statements. Thanks for Anil Lamba for this wonderful book.
