About the course

Excel is the tool of choice for accountants but most of us use a only fraction of the functionality available to us. Sometimes it difficult to develop Excel skills when you don't know where to start.

Where most Excel training is generic, this new course is designed specifically for accountants, so you not only find out how to use a particular formula but how that is directly applicable to your role in finance.

This course builds on your Excel knowledge and skills and helps you take your Excel use to the next level by introducing you to intermediate level formulas. It's ideal for accountants or finance professionals who have mastered general level formulas and are looking to develop their knowledge further.
