Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Financial statements are not as scary as they look. Let me show you, line by line.

If you have ever opened a company's financial report and felt lost in a wall of numbers, this book is for you. Most finance books explain the theory and then leave you just as stuck the moment you face a real balance sheet. This one does the opposite.

Dr. Paul Borosky, a business consultant, fractional CFO, and finance professor, walks you through the actual financial statements of one of the most valuable companies in the world, Apple Inc., line by line, and teaches you to read and grade them the way a professional would.

Using five years of real, published financial data (Apple 10k Annual Reports from 2020-2025), you will learn how to:

- Read the three core statements, the income statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows, in plain English- Calculate and interpret the financial ratios that reveal a company's true health, from liquidity and profitability to leverage and efficiency- Follow a single transaction all the way from a sale to the finished statements, so you finally see how it all connects- Grade a real company with a simple report-card system, and compare it head to head against a major competitor- Spot the strengths, weaknesses, and quiet red flags that the numbers reveal

Every concept is explained for a true beginner, defined in plain words, and shown at work on real numbers, with charts, worked examples, and Dr. Paul's own analysis and letter grades along the way. By the end, you will be able to pick up almost any company's annual report and actually understand what you are looking at.

Whether you are a student, a new investor, a small business owner, or a professional who just wants to finally be comfortable with the numbers, this fully updated Third Edition gives you the clearest, most practical path from confused to confident.
