5 Differences Between Excel and Financial Modelling

Timothy Here,

Recently, I announced the launch of a new and updated financial modelling video. However, you are yet to take action for reasons best known to you. You may be absolutely right or you may be wrong but let’s examine 6 differences between Financial Modelling and Excel since you are currently judging by what you know.
