More about this course
  • Strong financial analysis is just part of the story - you need to be able to communicate your insights to stakeholders to help them use your data for their decision making. Being able to tell stories with data is a key, and highly desirable skill, within the finance sector and across a range of industries.
  • This course will show you how you can use various tools - such as Tableau and Excel - to prepare visualisations that speak to a diverse audience and ensure that your insights are used throughout your organisation.
  • You'll explain and compare the reporting needs of various stakeholders, and build your understanding of how you can meet those needs with the data and tools you have available. Put that theory into practice by creating repeatable reporting systems that save you time and resources with weekly or monthly tasks.
  • You'll learn to build reports that reflect business performance and identify and analyse varying cost types within a business. Then you'll explore how to recommend optimized cost structures that contribute to business objectives.
  • Grow your Excel expertise and learn to use it to streamline your work, support analysis, and create meaningful data visualizations that speak to your audience. You'll learn how to make the most of this market-leading software to make sure that your reports and presentations have maximum impact within your organisation.
