CHAMBER NEWS: Stephen King and Jeff Macklin, founders of FDUK, are sharing their experiences in a new book aimed at entrepreneurs keen to get to grips with the essential role of finance in modern business success.

They have joined forces with entrepreneur Mike Southon and his co-author Chris West to write Finance on a Beermat the fourth book in the Beermat series.

FDUK, with offices in Bristol and London, is the UK's leading provider of part-time finance directors and has a network of over 30 associates helping firms across the UK.

Finance on a Beermat is a practical, hands-on book, which demystifies all aspects of finance for entrepreneurs and small business leaders: accounts, management information, planning, cash control, funding.

The book, available from Amazon, takes the reader in plain English from the basics of the P and L and balance sheet to the psychology of selling a business.
