As a new consultant, there’s nearly a 100% probability that you’ll be interacting with the CFO or someone from the CFO’s office. To be effective in working with and communicating with others, it’s vital to know your audience. This is especially the case with CFOs.

In my Financial & Data Analysis Toolkit, I give you an executive summary briefing of the world of the CFO. I explain their tendencies, habits, biases, and view of business operations. In addition, I explain the most commonly used financial concepts that you MUST know to have an intelligent conversation with a CFO.

As a consultant, 95% of your work day is spent gathering and analyzing data. So I’ve also included an important video tutorial that allows you to watch my computer screen as I walk through the data import process in Excel. I show you how I do a pre-assessment of the data set, what I’m looking for and why, and which settings in Excel I use to do a clean data import. This includes importing data, restricting the data to be in a format that’s easy for Excel to work with, and lots of little practical tips.

You’ll be expected to become the financial modeling expert, and to ANTICIPATE the “what if” questions, do the analysis, and know the answer PRO-ACTIVELY. The technical tool that makes this possible is building a financial “what if” model in Microsoft Excel. In this Toolkit, I include a video tutorial that allows you to watch me build a financial model from scratch. Watch my screen as I go through each step, explaining both what I’m doing and why.

This program has been designed to provide you with the financial and data analysis skills needed for effective analysis in consulting engagements.
