Financial managers are under intense pressure to step up their game and find new sources of shareholder value as the current business environment presents new challenges and obstacles to businesses in all industries. But where is a practicing or aspiring financial leader to turn for guidance in a post-COVID-19 world?

In Financial Management: Partner in Driving Performance and Value, experienced Chief Financial Officer and financial management consultant Jack Alexander delivers a comprehensive, everyday resource for financial managers. Steering away from a more academic and theoretical approach, the author instead offers a highly practical and hands-on take on performance management, planning, forecasting, business valuation, mergers and acquisitions, capital investment, and more.

The book includes expanded content from the author's previous widely read works--including Financial Planning & Analysis and Business Performance Management--and introduces new concepts that financial leaders need to survive in a post-COVID-19 world. You'll also find new ways to contribute as a business partner in uncertain and rapidly changing times, like strategic planning, scenario management, developing agility, contributing to growth, leveraging technology, business transformations and developing talent.

Financial Management presents key areas of financial leadership that support performance improvement and value creation. It includes numerous financial models, graphics, illustrations, examples, and dashboards, offering an in-depth analysis of crucial elements of financial management focused on building shareholder value.

A supplementary website provides readers with access to financial models in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint templates, and the book also delivers anecdotes and stories drawn from Alexander's 45-year-long career in financial leadership.

Perfect for controllers, Chief Financial Officers, financial directors, financial analysts, and accounting managers, Financial Management is also an ideal desk resource for treasurers, strategic planners, equity research analysts, and Certified Public Accountants.
