Event Detail




Financial Analysis in Excel

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, we will be hosting live webinars in place of live seminars for the foreseeable future.  We will send an email as soon as live seminars are up and running again.  We appreciate your patience.


For our CPA customers, note that live webinar credits are equivalent to live seminar credits and will satisfy your credit requirements.  

For our attorney customers, individual state legal education requirements will vary. As of now, it appears that the PACLE Board will review attorney compliance on an individual basis if you are unable to find live seminar credits prior to your deadline. If you require more detail, please reach out to the Legal Education Board in your state.

During this course, we will review key financial ratios, formulas, and calculations, including but not limited to:  time value of money concepts, mortgage payments, amortization schedules, college planning calculations, retirement planning calculations, Monte Carlo Simulation, bond valuation, return analysis, insurance/annuity calculations, net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR).  With a mastery of this material, you can help your clients enhance project or portfolio returns, maximize cash flow, minimize interest payments, and avoid excessive fees. 

Microsoft Excel models will be used during the course.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the fundamentals of net present value, return calculations, other key financial calculations
  • Illustrate financial results in Excel charts/graphs
