[smclaffe]

Hi Everyone

Does anyone know any good books out there for someone who will be applying for a financial analyst job . Preferably something that combines excel with the financials analysis.

Cheers

financial analyst in general is a very vague position, it would be better if you described what your job duties/industry were or prefer. financial analyst can do anything like budgets, variance, forecast, financial reports, KPI, AR/AP, credit, valuations etc. there are plenty of good resources out there depending on what your looking for, google is your friend especially for excel.

make sure you got a good understanding of pivot tables hands down, vlookups, and IF statements if your job will use excel because those are huge in analyzing mass amount lines of data.
