Vibrant Publishers Announces the Galley Release of Corporate Finance Essentials: A Practical Guide to Raising Funds, Making Investments, and Distribution Decisions
Author Makarand Bhopatkar brings over 25 years of corporate finance training expertise to a comprehensive, accessible new title
Broomfield, Colorado, March 13, 2025 — Vibrant Publishers is pleased to announce the galley release of Corporate Finance Essentials You Always Wanted to Know (Corporate Finance Essentials for short), authored by Makarand Bhopatkar, a CFA charterholder, FRM holder, and Certification in Quantitative Finance (CQF) holder with over 25 years of experience as a finance educator and trainer. The Advance Review Copy is now available on NetGalley for interested readers, reviewers, and educators.
Poor financial management is widely cited as a leading cause of corporate failure, affecting businesses of all sizes, from early-stage start-ups to established multinationals. Corporate Finance Essentials addresses this challenge directly, offering aspiring corporate finance managers, non-finance professionals, and management students a clear, structured, and comprehensive guide to the financial decisions that drive business value.
The book covers the full spectrum of corporate finance across nine chapters and two appendices. The topics include forms of business organization, corporate governance and ESG considerations, financing decisions including sources of capital and optimal capital structure, investing decisions covering capital budgeting and working capital management, distribution decisions on dividends and share repurchases, financial statement forecasting, and international corporate finance. Appendices on financial mathematics and financial statement analysis provide additional support for readers building foundational skills.
In the words of the author, “If a book can pique readers' curiosity about corporate finance and encourage them to explore the subject further, it would meet its purpose.” Corporate Finance Essentials is positioned to do just that. The book's semi-formal tone, real-world examples, annual report extracts of top companies, and chapter-level quizzes and case activities make it an accessible yet substantive resource for self-paced learning.
Makarand Bhopatkar has conducted training for corporate employees and management graduates at leading institutions including Morgan Stanley, Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank, L&T, Barclays, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and the Qatar Investment Authority. He has taught finance across countries, and has been actively preparing Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) candidates at Levels I and II for over a decade.
Corporate Finance Essentials You Always Wanted to Know is part of Vibrant Publishers' Self-Learning Management Series, a collection of concise, practically-oriented books designed for students, managers, career switchers, and entrepreneurs seeking to develop essential business and management skills.
The Advance Review Copy of the book is now available on NetGalley. Executive coaches, HR and organizational development leaders, educators, and leadership development professionals are encouraged to submit review requests through NetGalley.
