Short-Term Financial Management provides a comprehensive overview of topics that are vital for anyone interested in a career in corporate finance. The book is a well-rounded survey of liquidity management, cash and cash flow management, capital management, and other skills involved in managing the top half of a balance sheet.

Beginning with an introduction to liquidity, the text moves through essential aspects of short-term finance, including the management of working capital, corporate cash management, forecasting and planning, and investment and financing. Specialized chapters address managing multinational cash flows and mitigating financial risk using derivatives.

Each chapter is designed for student success, featuring learning objectives, discussion questions, and sample problems. “Focus on Practice” sections introduce real-world articles and case studies, while concrete resources—such as sample equations, balance sheets, flowcharts, and reports—allow students to practice and apply core concepts. This book serves as an excellent introduction to many topics covered in the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) certification and is suitable for courses in intermediate financial management and advanced corporate finance.
