Abstract:
"For non-accountant hospitality managers, accounting and financial management is often perceived as an inaccessible part of the business, yet understanding is crucial for success. Using an 'easy to read' style, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the most relevant accounting information for managers. It demonstrates how to organise and analyse accounting data to help make informed decisions with confidence."--BOOK JACKET.
