The landscape of the fast-growing financial services industry in Bangladesh is rapidly changing due to the increasing intervention of advanced technology and the level of interconnections with the global markets. Across all types of financial and non-financial organizations, analytical skills and mindset are key, and Bangladesh is not an exception. In particular, continued innovations in financial products, services, and processes in Bangladesh require the application of state-of-the-art technical skills combined with a strong knowledge base in the broad areas of Finance. The requirement can be largely met by applying the advanced analytical features of Microsoft Excel in the broad areas of Finance. MS Excel is one of the most powerful software, which offers a large number of highly impactful analytical and intelligence tools with wide flexibility. As a result, in any financial institution (e.g., banks and NBFIs, stockbrokers and dealers, and merchant banks), the demand for advanced level expertise in financial applications of MS Excel is high and ever increasing.
