Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 19, 2007 -- saltmineconsulting announces the release of Accounting, Finance and Presentation for Small Business by R. Blake Hendrix. The new book for small business is available at http://www.amazon.com and http://www.iUniverse.com. It focuses on the basics of accounting and finance in honing the presentation skills of the small businessperson. John Todor, author of Addicted Customers, had this to say about the book:

"This book is an essential read for anyone starting or running a small business. A very high percentage of small businesses fail. In part, this high failure rate stems from not understanding the money side of business and taking full advantage of banks and investors. Hendrix provides an important foundation. He does not focus on preventing failure but rather on enabling success. The main point is that small business leaders need to see financial information as the scorecard of fiscal health and providing the insights to course correct. Seizing opportunities and dealing with problems often involves the support of bankers and investors. They want to know where you are and where you are going. To make this case in terms they will understand and find credible, you need to use conventional financial terminology. The book defines these items and explains where and when they are important.

"This is not a dry finance or accounting book -- it is a primer for aspiring business leaders. Don't be afraid that reading this book will be like some foul tasting medicine that is supposed to be good for you. Hendrix explains each concept and why it is important in down to earth terms.

"I wish I had this insight years ago when I started my first business. Even after learning through the school of hard knocks, I have gained key insights from reading Accounting, Finance and Presentation for Small Businesses."
