Matthew Needham
Author of Money Talks
Most leaders don’t actually hate finance. They just hate feeling stupid in finance conversations. Matthew Needham saw first-hand how many intelligent, resourceful business leaders shied away from finance conversations for fear of looking foolish. So he wrote Money Talks: A Leader’s Guide to Finance (Even If You Hate Numbers) to try and close the gap, offering simple frameworks for non-financial leaders to ask better questions, engage with their finance teams, and make stronger strategic decisions.
When Matthew came to Intelligent Ink, he had a draft manuscript and many of the ideas already. Intelligent Ink provided editorial feedback and coaching support to help Matthew refine his ideas, sharpen the structure of his book, and guide him through the editing process. The result is a book that empowers leaders to see numbers as strategic tools, not something to shy away from – and hopefully a powerful way of making business easier for all involved!
