Corporate Finance For Beginners

Corporate Finance for Beginners: How Non-Finance Professionals Understand Money, Valuation, and How Companies Really Make Money is a clear, jargon-free guide designed for entrepreneurs, managers, employees, and anyone who works with business numbers but never studied finance.

Written by Angelita Rodriguez B, a seasoned corporate finance educator with over 15 years of experience teaching non-finance professionals, the book demystifies essential concepts through plain language, real-world examples, and practical intuition, without heavy formulas or academic theory.

Readers learn to read and interpret the three core financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. They discover how to distinguish profit from cash, understand pricing, hiring, expansion, and funding decisions, grasp how businesses truly generate value, and evaluate what a company is really worth using beginner-friendly approaches like cash-flow thinking and market comparisons.

Structured step-by-step from foundational money flows and the three key financial decisions to financial statements, cost behavior, financing choices, valuation basics, and everyday business applications, this book transforms finance from something intimidating into a practical tool for better decisions, greater confidence, and long-term business success.

Ideal for professionals who want to think like owners, ask smarter questions in meetings, and contribute more effectively without needing to become accountants or financial analysts.
