Finance is about decisions. Managers make decisions, decisions that advance an organization towards its goals — or stop it in its tracks. To make the right decisions, we need something by which to measure their impact. Financial consequences are one measure of a decision's success. Whether your organization is for-profit or not-for-profit, its financial health is essential to realizing its vision.

Finance is about communication. Organizations have different stakeholders — owners, managers, employees, and customers. All of them have different perspectives, attitudes, and objectives. Finance is a common language in which these stakeholders can discuss their values and goals.

Finance is about ideas. Every day, people have good ideas, ideas that can improve the lives of millions. Finance is a system designed to efficiently connect resources to those ideas so that everyone can benefit from them.
