reduces error, speeds up development time and lowers
cost. The Financial Modelling Handbook is a collaborative,
crowd-sourced guide to building better financial models

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:
