What this is
Build the recurring reports a business runs on, and the analysis that explains why the numbers moved. The course is organized into 6 modules — the reporting cycle, building a report that reruns, variance analysis, cohorts and time, commentary that earns its space and distribution and review — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.
It does not promise that any report will change business decisions. It teaches how to build recurring reports that rerun reliably and analysis that explains what changed and why.
What you will be able to do
- Plan a reporting cycle around business decisions
- Build reports that rerun without manual rework
- Run variance analysis against plan and prior periods
- Analyze cohorts and trends over time
- Write commentary that explains what moved and why
