 Excel training for finance professionals

Imagine knowing exactly how to build a model in your head. No more workarounds, no more "I'll figure it". Just clear, robust models you're proud.

Meet your trainers

Run by people who build models for a living

Full Stack was started in 2020 by two CIMA-qualified accountants who'd spent decades teaching, building and fixing Excel models. They've trained thousands of people since, and somewhere along the way fell in love with the craft of teaching itself. They still build models. They still teach. And you'll see them in the live sessions.

Who this is for

Built for three kinds of finance professional

You'll find members across all stages of career and confidence. Whichever group you sit in, the path through the programme is the same. Only the speed changes.

Already in finance

The working professional

Analysts, accountants, FP&A specialists, controllers. You know your way around a model, but you're hitting the ceiling of what self-taught Excel can do.

  • Move from competent to confident
  • Fill the gaps no one ever taught you
  • Earn a credential that travels
Switching into finance

The career changer

Coming from a different field and moving into a finance role. You need to get to "good enough" quickly, without faking it in the meantime.

  • Build the foundation properly
  • Learn from people, not just videos
  • Land your first finance role with confidence
Starting out

The recent graduate

Finance grad, student, or about to start your first role. Your degree gave you the theory. We'll give you the practical skills employers actually look for.

  • Get ahead of your cohort
  • Learn the tools you'll use on day one
  • Stand out in graduate interviews
If any of this sounds familiar

Most finance people learn Excel by accident

A formula from a colleague here, a YouTube tutorial there, a model you inherited and never fully understood. It works, until it doesn't. Here's where most of our members were when they joined:

1

The office Excel person, by default

People come to you for help and you usually figure it out. But you'd rather understand the why, not just the workaround.

2

New to modelling, feeling behind

Career changer, recent grad, or moving from a different finance role. Everyone seems to assume you already know this.

3

A bookmark folder of half-finished courses

Udemy tutorials, LinkedIn Learning certificates, a Power Query video you watched twice. Nothing quite stuck.

The programme

One structured journey, not a hundred fragmented courses

Other providers sell you individual courses and leave you to piece it together. We don't. There's one path, taught in the order that makes sense.

Module 01

Excel Mastery

Core functions, dynamic arrays, shortcuts, tables, pivots, Power Query, Power Pivot. The fundamentals you should have been taught on day one.

Module 02

Advanced Financial Modelling

Three-statement modelling, scenario and sensitivity, debt and equity, valuations. Built around the FAST Standard. Prepares you for FMI exams.

Module 03

Data Visualisation

Charts that actually communicate. Dashboards people use. Tables that don't make readers' eyes glaze over.

Woven through all three

A real community: live events, member challenges, masterclasses, and a global network of finance professionals who answer your questions when you're stuck.

More than a course

A global community of finance professionals, not a course library

The thing members mention most often isn't the content. It's the people. Live events, member challenges, masterclasses, a global community where someone is usually awake to answer your question.

By the time you finish the programme, you know the regulars by name.
