The Financial Modelling Podcast

Season 3 of the Financial Modelling Podcast focuses on the tools and technologies that make financial modellers' lives easier.  It also looks at the Global Excel Summit which was due to happen in April 2020 but was postponed (with all other conferences) due to the global pandemic.  In this episode, I catch up with co-founder Elena to hear the latest Summit news and how they are dealing with this unique situation.

Excel Analyzer gives users the power to clean, optimize and analyze Excel files and financial models.  It is well known that virtually every Excel model contains errors, however, tools such as Excel Analyzer allow us to interrogate our models to ensure they are correct as possible.  In this episode, I chat to podcast regular Lance Rubin and Excel Analyzer creator Maarten Bessems.

OAK is a spreadsheet auditing Excel Add-in that helps builders and reviewers save time and effort getting to grips with spreadsheet structures and formulas. In this episode, I chat to Rui Sobreiros on where OAK came from, how it helps modellers around the world and what the new version holds in store for us.

In episode 5 of the Financial Modelling Podcast, I chat to Zoltan Hegedus about the work he has done to enable modellers to better understand their models.

Gianluca Bisceglie spent time in private equity before founding Visyond.  His time as a private equity deal maker made him realize the inefficiencies in the system, and he set out trying to solve these issues by developing a secure and automated platform for spreadsheet collaboration, analysis and reporting.
