Great book

The title of this book is spot on! I believe it is a must-read for business owners who do not have some sort of CPA or finance background.

Stuff you should know

You can listen to hundreds of business books (like me), and never get the accountant view you need. The best part is how to compare an employee’s cost to their productivity. Hope is not a plan. Analysis of labor costs vs income is a key tool.

Fantastic direct approach to running a profitable business

Refreshingly simple, straight to the gut of business. A no-nonsense philosophy of business finances that is pragmatic to utilize and easy to understand and adapt. Greg covers how to think about his SimpleNumbers approach and most importantly how to implement it. Thanks for sharing your wisdom gained through your life’s professional experiences.

Great book, bit difficult to follow as an audio book

Great book, will probably listen to a few chapters annually, but there are a lot of figures and things referenced which are available for download. This makes it a bit difficult to listen to /gain the full value of it while driving to work... Etc
That being said, I would buy again and listen again without hesitation
