Analysis for Financial Management is an excellent text that covers the major topics of financial management: how to evaluate and interpret financial statements, the tools a manager should use to forecast future earnings and manage growth, how to properly valuate businesses and investment opportunities, and so forth. This book is ideal if you are familiar with basic accounting and finance concepts but want a deeper understanding of finance in a corporate setting. Each chapter contains a recommended reading list for those who want a more thorough explanation and analysis of the topics covered. There is a website the author has put together that provides more examples and tools. Unlike other textbooks, this book actually has all the answers for exercises at the end of the chapters! Lastly, Higgins provides a number of examples and explains all the major concepts with a touch of humor. This is definitely one of the best books I've seen out there. |

This book was required in my William & Mary MBA program. It covers everything from discounted cash flows to ratio analysis to business valuation. My brother liked it so much he "stole" if for months. I took it back and now he wants it for his Christmas gift. So, here I am buying it for him. The net present value of this book is - real high:) I highly recommend it for business owners or anyone involved in finance and accounting. |

I'm currently in Prof. Higgins' 2nd year MBA Finance class at the University of Washington. Other reviewers at this site point out several of the functional benefits of this book and those reviews are right on. I will add that Prof. Higgins' book does something most other finance texts fail to do: it lends a strong sense of context. It has helped me (as someone with a marketing background) develop a strong and useful intuition for finance theory. I expect it also helps finance experts get a firmer handle on the strategic and managerial context in which they operate. Worth every penny. |

Although at first I didn't really need this book, my friend recommended it to me. From the first reading, it surprised me, how good and interesting the book is! Glad I read this book.
The book explains many concepts in corporate finance, from the usual stuffs like DCF, cost of capital, risk, to much more difficult issues like business restructuring, in a very interesting, practical and readable way. Coupled with real world examples like the Time-Warner case, this book is clearly a must for those who want to built a strong foundation in finance.

This book is required at Harvard Business School and is used at top B-schools and bank management trainee programs around the country.
I used the book during my MBA program, even though it was not required. My study group members always requested that I bring it to group meetings. I even had a classmate approach the author (who happens to be my father) at my graduation and ask for his autograph.
The book introduces complex finance concepts like net present value in non-academic language and the real-world examples reinforce the concepts.
I strongly recommend this textbook to anyone preparing to enter business school or embarking on a job in financial analysis.
Professor Higgins is a beloved teacher at his home institution, the University of Washington. You can share in a little of his vast expertise and gift for teaching by reading his book, Analysis for Financial Management. |

Each time a re-read a chapter of this book, it is further enriching. I had no background in business finance and only an introductory accounting background prior to reading this book. It is approachable and quite deftly introduces one to the field of finance. Broad coverage of major topics such as financial forecasting, management of growth, debt vs. equity, financial instruments, valuations, discounted cash flow, and drawing from financial statements. Higgins places things in proper context and builds upon knowledge at good, steady pace. |

A must-buy for all finance majors studying in college. As a university student majoring in accounting and finance, I found this book to be the most insightful, understandable and practical finance book I've ever read. It can be used as a reference to other important finance books out there like the famous Brealy & Myers book Principles of Corporate Finance. |

This is one of the few finance texts I have read that can provide a solid financial introduction to the novice student and can also fine-tune the skills of the accomplished financial professional.
Professor Higgins accomplishes this feat by presenting a wealth of financial knowledge through remarkably clear and concise explanations of financial theory and application.
I have three books leaning against my computer at work: A dictionary, a thesaurus, and Professor Higgins' Analysis for Financial Management. |
