Could transparency with numbers actually benefit companies?
Would public accounting certifications build positive relationships? Although many companies believe in compartmentalization, Karen Berman, PhD. and Joe Knight give strong arguments to support their belief that transparency offers a host of benefits to companies.
In the comic book adaptation of Financial Intelligence: A Manager’s Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean, SmarterComics brings the key concepts of the Harvard Business School Press bestseller to a new audience with its accessible and unique format.
In the comic, Tom, a mechanic, has been asked to take a more active role in the company. Although he feels overwhelmed, Berman and Knight come to his rescue, walking him through the basic concepts of finance.
Although Tom just wants to do what he loves, Berman and Knight explain why it is important for him to understand more about the business side of his workplace; “Greater financial intelligence helps people feel more involved. They understand what they are a part of, what the organization is trying to achieve, and how they affect results. Trust increases, turnover decreases, and financial results improve.”
When a company’s financial intelligence is higher, it can offer valuable goods and services to its customers well into the future, provide opportunities for employees, and show a healthy return for investors. Also, healthy businesses help our economy to grow, keep our communities strong, and improve our overall standard of living.
For anyone who is trying to sharpen their financial intelligence, the SmarterComics’ adaptation of Financial Intelligence is the ideal learning tool, appealing to a broad audience and simplifying its message so that everyone can understand the lessons that might otherwise elude them.
