Description
Learn to solve any business modeling task you might ever experience!
Have you ever felt that you're regularly repeating some tasks in Google Sheets or Excel?
Have you ever thought about the time you would save if you would automate those tasks?
All the work you're doing in a repetitive manner in Google Sheets or Excel could be automated. It requires no coding skills, add-ons, or special tools - all you need to know is how to execute advanced formula combinations that will do all the automation for you.
This course focuses on teaching you the right skill set, so you could solve any business modeling task you might ever experience. I don't want to teach you only to execute some certain format of automation, I want you to be able to think outside of a certain tool - to literally be able to solve anything in the reporting automation or business modeling area. Everything we're learning along the course (which is a lot, really!) is only the start for you. I promise that after you complete the whole course, you will have tons of ideas on how to make your current work more efficient and automated.
This is a very hands-on course. You will learn the key formulas, practice them, build a complex but rewarding project, and then try to solve the challenges on your own. The course is designed to give you advanced-level skills that you will feel comfortable executing later in your own work. Please note that this is not a beginner-level course by design and by any means. However beginners are welcomed to take the course in case you're prepared to learn a lot by yourself in parallel and make some extra effort while taking this course.
What you can look forward to in this course:
Learn highly advanced and complex formula combinations

Instructor
My name is Mariel Aim and I am so excited that you're reading this!
Professionally, I work for the European fastest growing technology firm Bolt as the Director of Business Analytics where I'm responsible for the whole business analytics and financial planning domain of a business vertical with over €6B valuation. Prior, I have a background in consulting (specifically M&A) and hold an MBA in Economics with sub-focus on data science.
One of my core competencies is business modeling - and anything that has to do with Google Sheets. I have worked out a number of key business reporting solutions from scratch for the management, cross-functional and operational teams to use, which have saved thousands of hours in time and improved the reporting quality and convenience to a very high extent. Sometimes I think that if Google Sheets Engineering would be a job, this probably would be mine. ☺
I'm a strong believer in a world full of automating the non-value creating and routine tasks. And I can't wait for sharing my knowledge with you!
