Using Power Query (Get and Transform) to automate multiple sheets into an insightful summary report (Pivot Tables Report) using Excel VBA to control input and reduce errors, automate entire workflow saving precious time.
In the course, I go through specific examples of Prepaid Expenditures like this one below:
Mobile Phone prepaid vouchers/data plans and Insurances.
While this course will be utmost helpful to Accounting professionals, FP&A Professionals, Auditors, business professionals, anyone can enroll in the course
Accounting for prepaid expenses is easier than you think if you have the right tools at your disposal. But to do it… you need to accurately maintain the record of all prepaid expenses on your computer for an accurate profit or loss each period end (monthly/quarterly and yearly)
And Therefore it is quite crucial to have a Robust Prepaid Expenses Schedule (for an Accountant/Analyst/Auditor) and Microsoft Excel is a great tool for this task
As we go through the example, I’ll teach you hands-on techniques to maintain a robust prepaid expenses schedule that will help you accurately determine:
The portion of prepaid expenses to be charged to the income statement/profit and loss statement each month
Prepaid expenditure balances for monthly balance sheet reviews
Forecast or budget prepaid expenses for future periods
Impact on cashflow of business due to prepaid expenses spending (high or low)
How to allocate prepaid expenditures each month to various divisions or cost centers accurately (using Power Query and Pivot tables) with just few clicks (fully automated approach)
How to make sure that prepaid expenditure GL (balance sheet) is accurately maintained (cross checking integrity of GL entries to detect and prevent errors and frauds)
And I teach you all of this using Microsoft Excel!
Not only will I give you the models I’ve built, but also help you improve your ability to use the various functions of Excel:
IF Function (nested IF)
Date Functions
Lookup and Match Function
Named Ranges
Data validation
Array Formulas
And much more
Once you have a solid grasp of those, I’ll show you how to combine the above functions to create powerful formulas!
It doesn’t stop there…
We’ll use Power Query (Get and Transform) and Pivot Tables as well!
And we’ll even cover some Excel VBA.
At end of the course, you will have a clear and practical understanding of how prepaid expenses accounting works and how you can use Microsoft Excel efficiently to calculate accurate prepaid expenses charge, prepaid expenses balance and forecast prepaid expenses for future periods.
Your co-workers and your boss will be very impressed when you show up with these new skills! For the price I have it at… it’s worth every penny!

With Techniques I have learned using Excel for so many years, I pretty sure I can reduce your routine workflow (time and efforts) to half or even more.
While I love traditional formulas and function, Pivot tables and Excel VBA, I feel that its time to go beyond and discover amazing Power Tools offered by Microsoft these days.
These tools include Power Query for Excel (Get and Transform), DAX formulas Engine with Excel Power Pivot.
Don't worry if you have not heard about these tools, you will learn about them in details (basics to advanced) with me without any pain!
My Speciality lies in Data Analytics and ETL (Extract Transform and Load)
While formulas, Functions, Excel VBA can automate reporting and calculations for your projects, but when you are dealing with repetitive tasks, there is nothing better than Power Query.
