Using Excel for business and financial modelling : a practical guide

Abstract

The book is a very hands-on guide to the use of Excel in a business context. First published in 2012, it contains step-by-step instructions of how to solve common business problems using financial models, including downloadable Excel templates as well as other supplementary content; a list of shortcuts and jam-packed with practical tips and techniques the reader can pick up and apply straight away to their work. Readers purchase the book for their own learning and it is also used as an accompaniment to the author's online and face to face training courses. Whilst there are many hundreds of tools, features and functions in Excel, this book focusses more on topics relevant to finance professionals. It covers these features in detail from a practical perspective, but also puts them in context by applying them to practical examples in the real world. Readers are often overwhelmed by the hundreds of tools in Excel and this book gives them clarity by showing them only the ones that they really need to know in order to perform their job more efficiently
