Financial Analysis and Modeling Using Excel

Dr. David Carter — Oklahoma Bankers Association Chair of Commercial Bank Management and Professor of Finance in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University

Excel is a powerful and flexible tool that can be used to build complex models to analyze the effects of a firm’s finan- cial decisions. A properly built Excel model can ask a variety of “what if” questions: What if expenses are greater than expected? How does this affect our bottom line?” Excel has a large number of analytical tools that can be used to inves- tigate a variety of financial and business opportunities. Business and technical professionals are often called upon to analyze the effects of financially based decisions, often without a formal financial background in Excel model building or the use of Excel as a financial decision-making tool. This in-depth and practical three-day seminar will focus on financial model building and analysis using Excel. At the end, participants will be able to build models to generate pro forma (projected) financial statements and evaluate proposed capital investment projects. Delegates will also be able to use Excel to perform optimization and write simple user-de- fined functions.

This training will benefit your organization by giving participants greater knowledge of Excel as a financial decision-making tool. The trainer will conduct dynamic and resourceful training that you do not want to miss.

This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Finance and the Center for the Future of Work in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. It qualifies for continuing education credit for licensed professional engineers and also professional development hours for other disciplines.

Investing for Success

Amit Bansal, MBA — Director of Center for Financial Health and Wellness in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University

Transform your workforce’s financial well-being with the expert-led seminar, ideal for employees of all age groups, and particularly crucial for young professionals beginning their financial journey. The seminar will cover essential topics like strategic financial planning, early investment, maximizing employer retirement plan contribution, and the benefits of diversifying investments. PwC’s study highlights that financially literate employees are less stressed, more focused, and show 28% less absenteeism. According to the SHRM study, 83% of HR professionals observed that personal financial challenges significantly impact employee performance. Incorporating financial literacy boosts productivity and retention, with employees gaining greater focus and understanding of their total rewards like 401(k) plans and health benefits. Insights from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau show that employees who receive financial education are more likely to contribute to retirement plans and have emergency savings, enhancing their financial security. By participating, employees will not only gain invaluable tools for personal financial success but also contribute to a healthier, more focused, and engaged workplace. Investing in this seminar is a step towards fostering a financially literate, secure, and thriving workforce, pivotal for both individual and organizational growth.
