Great class with great tips and ideas to smooth processes, wish he would have touched on service based organizations more and would love to see a case on budgeting scenarios for different types of businesses.

I love the simplicity and inter-connectivity of the Excel files he created. It really shows the dependencies and narrows the user inputs to what they will know the most about.

Would have been helpful to have gone into more detail in the excel worksheets with formula used - advise brushing up on this before taking course but otherwise very good

Another great course I will refer back to when setting up our company's budget. This plus other "how to best utilize Excel" courses will make me dangerous!

I found it difficult to stay engaged with this presentation and believe there are better Excel focused presentations available from Proformative.

Mr. Turner demonstrated a comprehensive budgeting solution in Excel which could work well if it is monitored and managed carefully.
