The most well-thought-out book of its kind!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Professor Helfert's graphic presentations have caused concepts to gel that were amorphous in my mind for years despite an investment banking background. I would recommend this book as a first book to anyone interested in quickly obtaining a bird's eye view of the business entity from a "business systems" approach. Helfert's position is that of an engineer or a scientist: Every business has a structure that can be indentified, analyzed, and then manipulated to increase shareholder value.Every new issue refers back to the Investment, Operations, Financing structure Helfert lucidly charts out in the introductory chapter. If this is old hat to you, and you've read Corp. Fin. by Brealy & Meyers (sp?), maybe you don't need this book. All others: BUY IT!!!
It's the best book that I had read

I read russian translation of this book. There are only 8000 examples in russian and this book became a deficit in 1996 (when it was published in Russia). Now I want to read the English (original) version of this wonderful book. The most impressions are from the detailed (comprehensive) theory with detailed exercises and notes.Let say my Great Thanks to author for his excellent book.With regards, Sergey Krupin
A great reference for business analysis

I bought an earlier version of this book many years ago and just bought the latest edition to replace the first copy that was loaned out and never returned. It's one of those books that you constantly go back to to confirm what you are doing. The book is well written, concise and covers material in a number of college level finanical courses. For the general Accountant, it is a learning tool and for the experienced Financial Analyst, an excellent reference.
