Starting August 3rd, you can practice a real FP&A workflow in Excel and walk away with skills you can use the next time actuals land on your desk. CFI's first Excel Challenge is free, runs three weeks, and gives you one focused exercise each week that builds on the last.

How It Works

Each week, you'll get an email with that week's challenge. Every challenge takes about 30 minutes, and every valid submission counts as one entry toward the challenge prize*. By the end, you'll have hands-on practice with the same workflow finance teams run every close cycle: consolidate, analyze, forecast, and communicate.

Weekly Challenges

Week 1: Analyze

Identify what's actually driving variance in last month's numbers.

Week 2: Forecast

Turn that analysis into a forecast for what comes next.

Week 3: Communicate

Package both into a simple dashboard, the kind you'd hand to a manager.

The challenge starts in less than one week, sign up today.
