Building Financial Models with Microsoft Excel: A Guide for Business Professionals [With CDROM]

The book is very well structured. Following the steps proposed it's possible to understand the whole process of developing a good budget and the main financial statements. The book is more suitable for beginners, new entrepreuners and people who wants to get an overview on how to develop a budget and good financial statements using Excel.

The book has some merit to a reader new to Excel, and who wants something a bit more indepth than the Idiots or Dummy's books on Excel. Proctor gives examples that do more with the spreadsheets, and you get to appreciate what Excel can provide. But, as other reviewers have cogently pointed out, the book really is not for business professionals, despite what the title says. An accountant or businessperson should already have more background on financial modelling with spreadsheets that the level provided here.
