Microsoft Excel Tutoring

Making decisions based on gut feelings is outdated. Today’s managers are using Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheets to create financial models to understand the financial impact of various options available to them and run a variety of sensitivity around them. Financial modeling using Microsoft Excel enables better decision making as it allows you to run simulations and projections faster, better and in real time.

Microsoft Excel and financial modeling skills are necessary for business executives, entrepreneurs and business school students. Whether you are building a complex financial model for a hotel chain or managing your household expenses, using Excel and other spreadsheets makes your task easier.

There are numerous Microsoft Excel books and online Microsoft Excel lessons.  While the numerous Microsoft Excel books and online Microsoft Excel lessons teach you what they promise, they do not and cannot address the unique Excel and financial modeling needs of individuals and organizations. This is where working with a Microsoft Excel tutor will help. He or she can help you address your specific need.
