This book is a marketing tool for the author’s software program. It offers some very practical and useful suggestions, however the author is careful to avoid specifics. Once you read the book carefully and review the illustrations, you see why.
Basically, the author suggests careful budgeting, and the implementation of very specific financial reports obtained by good “legal software”. Basically, the summation of every point and suggestion is that your firm needs to invest in software that will create these rather complex financial reports. You are not told enough specifics about the reports to undertake them yourself. You are just told you need software that will do it. The reports all sound great. But I was curious when I read it why the author never reviewed or mentioned any particular software. And I was even more curious why the illustrations were all from the same software program that I had never heard of.
When I finished the book, I looked up the “perfect” software that was the sole illustration and example in the book, and low and behold here was the author selling the software. The book has some good tips, but overall its an infomercial trying to sell software. That would not bother me if it was disclosed, or if the author at least pretended to give you some software alternatives, but I am bothered by paying for a book that is written to promote the author’s software program rather than making your firm more profitable as the title suggests. Paying for commercials sold to you as a useful tool for your firm is a bit irritating.

Easy read with lots of good information for everyone. Really nothing else like it at the bookstore. Definitely buying several copies to pass around.
