I’m very passionate about productivity & efficiency. That translates to the world of Excel too. I’ve recently been interested in getting into the
FAST modelling standard and in my Reddit research I came across the perfect tool: a macro pack created by
Gridlines that focuses on reducing the friction from financial modelling. It pushes you to adhere to the FAST standard by automating a large part of the formatting/structuring that comes with the standard.
If you’re looking to upgrade your modelling skills, Gridlines has an
excellent free course to introduce you to the tool. I’ve talked about it
before.
But that’s not all. They’ve recently been working on a Financial Modelling Handbook which is available online for free while it’s being written. Unlike the course, this really starts from the absolute beginning of financial modelling and is therefore much more accessible. I think it’ll turn into a very valuable resource later on so read it while you can:
