[QUOTE="Anon08, post: 69291"] Hey, you're welcome, and thank you! Sure - so naturally, first, do make sure you look through TCLA Premium's courses; I think they're a fantastic introduction to some of the supporting commercial concepts! Beyond that, I would recommend: [LIST=1] [*]The 'Commercial Law Handbook' by Jake Schogger - a great introduction to all things commercial law, including basic accounting, and micro/macroeconomics (among other things!). [*]'All You Need To Know About The City' by Christopher Stoakes - a well-known introduction to major financial/commercial concepts. [*][URL="http://www.mergersandinquisitions.com"]www.mergersandinquisitions.com[/URL] - used by investment banking candidates; however, equally useful for those who are looking for an introduction and breakdown of core commercial/accounting concepts. [*][URL="http://www.ecommercefuel.com/how-to-read-a-balance-sheet/"]www.ecommercefuel.com/how-to-read-a-balance-sheet/[/URL] - an accessible walkthrough of how to read a balance sheet. [*]Online courses - do them, not for the certificate, but for the knowledge! These include Yale's Financial Market's course, Wharton's Corporate Finance course, and Lynda's Finance For Non-Financial Managers course. [/LIST] I would also use Investopedia to look up any terms/concepts you have heard of/read about but don't fully understand - use the hyperlinks on each entry to navigate to other concepts that you don't get. This way you build a comprehensive understanding, and can't be caught out if someone presses you by saying 'Okay, but what does [I]x [/I]really mean?'. I hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
