Financial modelling should be collaborative. Collaboration
reduces error, speeds up development time and lowers
cost. The Financial Modelling Handbook is a collaborative,
crowd-sourced guide to building better financial models
using the FAST Standard.
Patrick O'Beirne has extensive
experience in Excel/VBA spreadsheet
training, testing, model review, and
auditing.
Recent projects in Ireland and abroad

guide you can shift your stress and make your
colleagues lives hell!
The consequences for falling for some, or all
of the following temptations are described in
more than eighty spreadsheet problems at:
