Overview
Practical guide to effectively communicate financial data, ideas, and insights to executives
Communicating Financials to Executives delivers indispensable insights on how to clearly, effectively and productively communicate financials to executives across industries in an influential manner. In this book, finance practitioners and consultants Anders Liu-Lindberg and Christian Frantz Hansen deliver a five-step approach on how to get started, along with underlying theory explaining why each step is imperative to success.
Special attention is placed on not just presenting data but doing so in a way that brings significant value to the table and creates an impact that leads to greater business success for the organisation. Topics explored in this book include:
- The executive decision-making process and how to tailor your approach to seamlessly integrate into it
- Managing the amount of detail in communications and knowing how to structure data appropriately
- Visual elements that can help better communicate data to individuals who aren't “numbers people”
- Specific struggles that financial and accounting professionals face in the modern business environment
- How to build management reports that are easily understood by executives and drive significant business value
Communicating Financials to Executives earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all finance professionals seeking to better harvest the fruits of their labour by properly articulating ideas and insights to decision-makers within an organisation.
