About the Complete Guide to becoming an Excel Ninja

The Complete Guide to Becoming an Excel Ninja was created in 2018 by a former Wall Street investment banker who found that current programs that train students and professionals in Excel rely too heavily on financial modeling and less on becoming adept in Excel functionality and shortcuts. Furthermore, most other Excel training programs are also geared toward students interested investment banking or current investment banking new hires leaving a major gap for those interested in utilizing and displaying mastery in Excel but not interested in that particular industry.

The Complete Guide To Becoming an Excel Ninja is designed for ALL students and professionals alike in ANY industry and uses real world examples to teach and train individuals about the vast functionality and formulas in Excel with a particular focus on ingraining shortcuts. By the end of the program, users will be able to dynamically build spreadsheets, tools, and models and be knowledgeable in the vast applications of Excel. The program also offers an immense variety of sample templates and model building exercises as an addendum with step-by-step guidance for building models that range from 3-statement financials and database dashboards to startup equity dilution and LBO-merger models.
