BENEFITS OF DOCUMENT
DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
I have made an easy, practical and useful guide by combining and applying my many years of experience in its content.
The idea behind this book is to provide entrepreneurs who run small and medium businesses a practical handbook on how to use financial projections to lead their growth.
This is also a useful reference for professionals who want to keep in their virtual pockets an easy companion and it will help them make financial content understandable for their clients and aid in preparing financial projections, business planning or scenario analysis.
This book suggests what planning is and the advantages it can bring to medium and small businesses.
I will also depict a planning road map describing all the major milestones like where to start from, what to measure and how, together with some practical tips for you to benefit from.
I will also introduce the main types of planning and highlight their major topics.
There's a chapter specifically designed for your convenience and it depicts how to understand the 3 financial statements (balance sheet, income statement and cash flow), their relationships and differences with simple examples. This will help you to understand how the numbers work in your businesses.
I also go into further analysis on topics such as the external environment, the business risks and how and when to ask for external advice; this is then followed by steps and a more in depth analysis of a typical plan in a small business.
If you are wondering or wanting to learn how to plan quickly and efficiently then this is the right book for you!

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.
I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me. Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current. Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world." – Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."
