Course Description

How many times, after presenting the statements you’ve worked so hard on, do your audiences’ eyes glaze over? It’s awful, but it highlights something really important: often the way we present our work isn’t ideal.

This seminar will focus on strategies and tools that can be used to summarize key business metrics for presentation. We’ll look at different ways to present our information, telling a story using effective data visualization tools in Excel. We’ll examine charts, graphs, conditional formatting and other techniques, pulling the results into a dynamic and engaging dashboard. Together we’ll build a one-stop report that gives us an overview of the key metrics we want to see for a hypothetical business need.

Who this course is for?

  • Accountants and other professionals who need to be able to share information visually and engage their audience.
  • Registrants should have fundamental knowledge of Excel.
