Ghanaian Author Launches a Masterclass in Love to Excel book

Ghanaian author, Jules Nkansah will on Easter Monday April 2^nd, launch Love to Excel, a financial modelling masterclass for young professionals, university students entering the job market, entrepreneurs and anyone seeking to upgrade their versatility in Microsoft Excel. The book will bring to their doorsteps the technical skills they need to be proficient in a world of increasing business analytics, specifically in Microsoft Excel.
Love to Excel is a book that unpacks the power of Microsoft Excel using a simple, practical and non-intimidating approach. The book introduces readers to Excel through one of its most practical uses – financial modelling, considered the art of rendering numbers in Excel to depict a real-life business or personal situation to enable decision-making and planning. The book sets out to familiarize readers using a case study approach, presenting readers with near real-life situations in which financial modelling is invaluable. From developing a simple Profit & Loss model for a street food business to a full market sizing of an entrepreneurial idea, readers will surge in confidence as they encounter and surmount increasingly complex challenges in Excel.
The Love to Excel book launch is open to the public and will take place on April 2nd at La Villa Boutique Hotel at 5pm. In attendance will be a cross-section of guests from business and academia. Guest speaker is Mr. Frank Adu Jr., Managing Director, Cal Bank.
On the relevance of this book, Mr Adu Jr said, “Most books on financial modelling and Microsoft Excel are written by foreigners with foreign examples. Love to Excel is easy to follow and provides case studies relevant to our African context. This book should become the go-to for professors, students and young or seasoned professionals seeking skills development or up-grade to stay relevant in their workplaces.”
