Finance Directors: The BDO Stoy Hayward Guide for Growing Businesses - Tapa blanda

The essential guide for everyone who has to think about the money side of a small or growing business - and as any independent bookseller knows, that is everyone. This is the second in a unique series of books on running small and medium sized businesses (SMEs as they are known). It is the companion to Non-executive Directors, which is launched at the same time. It has been written specifically to help small and medium sized enterprises grow successfully and avoid the mistakes that ruin so many. The problems vary from personality clashes (horribly common), to running out of cash, ill-thought out expansion plans and misconceived acquisitions. Short, concisely written, and with clear, helpful advice, this is the essential guide - born from great experience - to help businesses grow successfully.
