Financial Planning for Executives and Entrepreneurs: Start Here

This book is a good source of inspiration for the busy executive or high income earner. It covers some very intricate topics, as well as financial planning from a very basic level. I have clients that have PhDs, Masters degrees, and MBAs. One thing they all have in common is that they are so immersed in their work, they do not have the time available to master their finances.  That's where this book comes in.

Personal Financial Planning for Executives and Entrepreneurs (by Michael J. Nathanson, Jeffrey T. Craig, Jennifer A. Geoghegan, Nadine Gordon Lee, Michael A. Haber, Seth P. Hieken, Matthew C. Ilteris, D. Scott McDonald, Joseph A. Salvati, Stephen R. Stelljes) walks executives step by step through the how as well as the why of their financial plan. The authors have taken great care to write a book with very specific planning ideologies. If you are a true entrepreneur, you may find this book a little lacking. It focuses almost exclusively on the corporate executives.

If you are a busy executive that needs some creative planning ideas, this book is a great place to start.
