The field of accounting and finance has a vast array of literature dedicated to it, catering to the needs of the accounting and finance community. However, there is a notable scarcity of books specifically designed to assist non-financial career professionals in grasping the fundamental concepts of accounting and finance. Over the course of 20 years, Dr. Julie Bonner has honed an effective teaching methodology that aims to engage non-financial professionals with the material, enabling them to utilize financial information to enhance their careers without being overwhelmed by irrelevant information. Mastering this subject requires a combination of repetition, practical application, and the development of critical thinking skills that are essential for effectiveness. It is common to perceive finance as a mathematical domain, but as this book will illustrate, the challenge lies in understanding the conceptual framework rather than the numerical aspects. Once the conceptual framework is grasped, the mathematical aspects become more accessible and comprehensible.

Dr. Julie Bonner currently holds a tenured position as a professor at Central Washington University, specializing in information technology and administrative management. With a career spanning over 30 years, she has expertise in both business and education. Dr. Bonner began her journey by earning a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting, followed by an MBA and ultimately a doctorate in organizational leadership.
