Dear David,
“
I bought this book in an attempt to learn more about lean practices and various finance frameworks and I was not disappointed. This is by far one of the best books on the subject on Amazon. Every concept is explained with examples so that you can directly apply it to your organizations.”
Additionally, the concepts in the book are not super basic like in some others. There is a good combination of concepts levels. I recommend whether you are new to the Finance industry or an experienced professional already.Florian G
