Christine Cappdona (Christine Cappadona, CPA)

"I thought the webinar was fantastic. I had no idea you could do so many features with Excel prior to taking Jim's class. I actually purchased the ExcelCEO course as a result of this class as I would love to learn more of these techniques and enhance my skills. I use Excel daily, consider myself an advance user and have a lot of knowledge in it, but mostly self taught. I am proficient in formulas like nested if statements, sums if's, etc. I learned tricks, like F4 function, that will help me save time as I am always typing in the $ for absolute formulas that I use on a regular basis. I never knew there was a short cut. I never knew about spinner buttons that could a helpful tool. Even if you know Excel well, I think this class can help you learn so many alternate ways of doing things, even simple things like the format painter trick, that will make Excel easier to use and tricks to save time. I really liked how Jim started simple at the beginning and built upon each step. By doing that I learned short cuts to things I do every day and never knew there was an easier way. I am excited to receive my book & start the classes. Thanks Jim & CPA Academy for a this great class! I highly recommend it."

Christopher Moody (Bridgeland Accounting)

"I've worked with Excel since it first came out. And I learned three new things in today's webinar. And they were really cool things. Expertly presented by a fellow Texan with humor and a high degree of expertise. You might ask if staying awake for 1 1/2 hours going over the excel formula was difficult. I would say not even close. It was very interesting and entertaining. Yes - entertaining. One example: Jim created a complicated formula to solve a list problem (i.e., splitting out first and last names from a single column where the first/last name were combined). But the individual simple formulas were done first, step by step. Then the final complicated formula was constructed from those individual simple formulas. The complicated formula still looked complicated, but it was easier to see what it did - it made a lot of sense. There are other examples and those 3 cool things I learned as well. It was a pleasure to see a CEO (Chief Excel Officer) who is a MASTER of Excel, show us some things, and clearly had fun doing it. Y'all should take the course. It is worth the time, and you'll be glad you did."

Jenny Hemby (Self-Employed)

"CRAZY GOOD & INTERESTING!! I have been taking CPE courses through CPAacademy.org for over 3 years now & this is the first excel or even software/computer course I've taken & actually learned something rather than being lost at some point during the webinar. I learned a few things actually including a couple of pretty basic skills & a couple of more advanced skills so that was quite refreshing. In the 15 or so years, I've been required to take continuing education every year, this is the first time I've ever purchased additional CPE from the presenter because I often find it difficult to learn excel or other software applications without actually being hands-on which rarely happens in these CPE courses. I am looking forward to delving into this self-study course so I can finally call myself an advanced excel user!"

Bella Tamez (Frost Bank)

"This has been by far the best CPE Webinar I have attended! The instructor was very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining the breakdown of the information. I registered for the webinar thinking I was an Excel pro but logged off the webinar with quite a few new tip and tricks I didn't even know existed in Excel and feeling even more driven to dive deeper into exploring the immense seeming endless possibilities of how my company can facilitate current practices through the use of Excel. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who uses Excel regularly in their work, is Excel obsessed like me, or who wants to strengthen their Excel skills for essential and common Excel functions. Outstanding job to the presenter and thank you CPAacademy.org for providing this amazing learning opportunity!"

Phyllis Hemmert (Allied Mineral Products)

"I've imbedded formulas before, but it's nice to see the way someone knowledgeable does it. I don't feel so bad that I still find it easiest / cleanest to write parts of formulas first to ensure accuracy before combining them in one. I've used FIND a little, but never tried TRIM, MID, OR PROPER. I'll make extensive use of all of these in the future. I would have been singing the praises of the paintbrush trick, if someone at the office hadn't taught a bunch of us in this just last month. I wonder where he learned it? Spinner isn't something I can use presently, cool as it is. However, I can see it being a beautiful tool for the Budget Dept, planning, etc."

Joseph Boyd (BASIC LLC)

"Jim Cline is a Master Excel Guru, but more importantly also a master trainer! it was a thrill to see such an experienced presenter disseminate his knowledge to the other attendees at a tolt! The continuous stream of 'like' hearts flowing up the screen and his spot-on answers to attendee questions was satisfying. Attend the session, you will almost certainly pick something useful up! I am tempted to purchase the Excel 2016 Course just to support and promote his continued good works! ...Jim, next time I make it out to Houston, would love to buy ya lunch and geek out on favorite features and work-arounds! ;)"

Lynn Schmidt (Lynco Financial & Tax Services, Inc.)

"Excel Tips & Tricks - Beyond the Basics was one of the best webinars I have attended from CPA Academy. I don't qualify for any CPE for these topics as I am an Enrolled Agent. CPE was not important to me since learning to be more productive during the business day was my primary goal. I am a novice with Excel, however, I learned so many tips today, I will already be a better user of the program. I have already gladly signed up for his course materials. His teaching style was terrific and he explained everything in detail. A great job by all. Thank you CPA Academy. This one is a real gem!"

Steven Glodoski (MAHLE Industries Inc)

"Jim's provision of information regarding how to better use the v-lookup function but the little side notes on Format Painter as well as the Spinner Button was awesome. There were just little tidbits that didn't require a lot of time to display but will prove to extremely valuable as my knowledge of Excel increases. In addition, my choosing to be under Jim's tutelage this day was greater as a result of the great price on the 40 hour training class that he offered. I signed up for this and am looking forward to the new skills I will obtain as a result. Thank you, Jim. A++ from me."

John Schreiber (JS Consulting)

"This course was nothing short of awesome! It was not only educational, but light-hearted and fun! Time flew by just a little quicker than I would have liked as I could have spent HOURS dialing in all the little tricks to the trade. So glad I got to partake. While Mr. Cline may be of the opinion that he was moving a bit quick, I thought the pace was fantastic and in moving "quick" we simply got to cover a few more areas than we otherwise would have, which made the course that much better! Well done today and thank you very much, Mr. Cline, for dropping the knowledge on me!"

sherri voigt (WI Department of Administration)

"I have taken a number of Excel sessions where I learn something new. In this session, I learned several new things and was so excited to share with my team and my manager. I was thrilled to be able to sign up for the full Excel self study course, and also the Access self study course. My free time is set for the next 6 months, but I know the benefits of these trainings will be beneficial. Jim Cline moves very quickly, but since I can go back to the recording, I just sat to listen and absorb it all. It helps that he is very entertaining!"

Alice Youse ()

"EXCEL TIPS AND TRICKS: BEYOND THE BASICS. Was very fortunate to attend this webinar for Advanced Excel today. I am pretty savvy with Excel already, but today I absolutely learned tips, tricks. formulas, functions and features that I hadn't had the opportunity to learn or use in the past. It is so important to be an Advanced Excel user in my industry. Jim Cline, Excel CEO, was impressive and entertaining in presenting material that to some might be / or get boring. Not today... Thank you Jim - keep up the excellence and humor!! A"

Katherine Sadowski (Advocate Accounting, LLC)

"As a self-taught Excel user, I hover between the Intermediate to Advanced level. Most of my clients' employees are beginners or intermediate. Much of my work involves teaching them more efficient ways of using Excel. I love these seminars as a way of reviewing things I may have forgotten about or don't use too frequently. Mr. Cline does an amazing job of motivating me to learn more and to teach what I've learned. This is an excellent resource and I love the pace of the webinar as it goes through the steps "in real time"!"

Jennifer Harris (Jennifer A. Harris CPA & Associates, Inc.)

"I thought I was better at Excel than I really am. This course showed me I am a beginner. I got so much out of that 1.5 hours that I never knew. I only wish I could afford the book/class but I am a sole shareholder on my own s-corp with no employees supporting a disabled child and two others in college on one income and cannot afford the tools I need to improve my practice. But I added buying this course to my career goals in the future. Thank you for offering such an amazing course. I enjoyed the speaker very much too!"

Mark Moffitt (Mark R Moffitt, CPA)

"I wish I would have known of this course and Excel CEO years ago. Two years ago I retired as a City Finance Director for 8 years after spending 34 years in public accounting as a CPA. I am going to encourage my past colleagues as well as my adult family members to take your Excel CEO course. Taking your Excel Tip and Tricks webinar through the CPA Academy has re-energized my desire to learn more of all Excel can do to massage and manipulate meaning data. Thanks Jim for making these courses and webinars available."

Neli Peeva (Weiss & Company)

"This was my favorite course I have taken at CPA Academy so far. I learned so many new things about using Excel. The instructor was swift, but it was only to show the most amount of material - which really made my time worth it. He explained where and how to find every little tool he used, and also how to use it efficiently and effectively, to solve real-life problems that I have faced at my job. I am looking into purchasing the rest of the course because I really feel that it would be worth it!"

Gayla Mcginnis (Dallas Tax Solutions, Inc.)

"I've been using Excel for years....but mostly for pretty basic calculations, as well as for storing/tracking information in a format that can be easily sorted. This webinar was a bit over my head, but was presented in such a way that I was able to follow the steps and the flow and the logic. The presenter was very knowledgeable and easy to follow...as well as personable. I will definitely look for future training opportunities through this site and this presenter."

Christopher Hyun (ISP Taxes)

"This webinar is a must for all accountants that specialize in tax audits. The lesson I learned in this brief time has already assisted with accumulating data for a California Sales Tax Audit (that mirrors IRS & audits in three year batches). Rather than picking sample invoices, I can download the entire three years, 24 quarters of invoices, segregate columns, etc., and present a total picture to the Auditor in attempts of ending the exam in a timely fashion."

Peter Puglisi (Peter Puglisi CPA)

"This really is a great course. Jim is a great presenter and the examples are really cool. I always thought I was pretty good at excel, but that I needed "some" improvement. This class made me realized that I needed a great deal of improvement, but it is feasible and can be done systematically as Jim exhibits. I had to buy the full course right away especially since there was a huge discount. The class is well worth it even at the regular pricing. Great Job."

Louise Cogan (self)

"I highly recommend the course, Excel Tricks Beyond the Basics. There was more information given than I could grasp in the time allotted but it was exciting to learn what is possible and know that you can return to review the saved webinar as many times as needed. If you only have a basic understanding of Excel, this is an invaluable webinar. The speaker was fast paced and funny. He kept my attention for ninety minutes. Gratefully, LHC CPA"

Tracy Ellis (Nubes Opus)

"This webinar was spot on. The presenter, Jim Cline, did an excellent job. He is personable, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. In my opinion, all of these things are key to getting through to people that may find using excel to be daunting. The format for the webinar is fantastic. I appreciated getting to work along with Jim while learning more about excel functionality. Thank you for offering this webinar!!"

Michael Jones (IE Professional Services)

"I came into the webinar not sure I could get something from it. They did not ask for any money, I expected more of a "Tease" to purchase their course. That was NOT what I found. I received tricks that will help me and my clients going forward, they were repeated to make sure we understood. This was a great course to attend. I hope they expand their offerings but I will suggest to others to attend this one when it is offered again."

Melody Driver (1963)

"Enjoyed from start to finish. Best advise was to just follow along and go back and review. This enabled us to give Jim our undivided attention. The objectives were stated in the objective tab in the handout and each was met in order actually. Also, the two bonus of the paint brush and spinner button was worth the wait. Lastly,but not least, did enjoy the jokes and stories to get a real feel for usefulness of excel skills. Thanks."

Kimberly Free (Gallivan, White & Boyd, P.A.)

"I registered for "Excel Tips & Tricks: Beyond the Basics" with a "What the heck, maybe I will learn something" attitude, and finished the session super excited about the MANY things I learned. I was so excited that, over dinner, I bored my non-spreadsheet using spouse by enthusiastically describing some of the tips and tricks I'd seen. HOW did I not know these? If you're a frequent MS Excel user, I highly recommend this webinar."

Patricia Palmer (Palmer's Accounting & Tax Service)

"Just took the Excel Tips and Tricks: Beyond the Basics webinar. Excellent! I learned quite a few things that I didn't know and I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about Excel. The best part of the class though was the presenter, Jim Cline. Anytime I'm being taught something by someone so passionate, excited, and impressed with what they're presenting, I learn so much. That excitement is contagious. Excellent presentation!"

Sharon Grimes (Sharon Grimes Accounting, LLC)

"If you are looking for some time saving functions in Excel, this is a great course. Be prepared, there is a lot of information packed into a short amount of time. But if you are experienced with Excel you will know some and easily be able to follow the program. I'm pretty sure you will get at least one new useful tool out of the class, I learned two new tools and I consider myself to be a pretty advanced user of Excel."

Robert Levi (Impartner, Inc.)

"The content was expansive. The concept of just watch and absorb was an excellent way to present. Other courses have you try to follow each step on your own computer and this slows the process unnecessarily. ExcelCEO's process of presenting with downloadable files and recordings allows for an excellent learning experience, since we have the ability to replicate the steps later and/or watch the presentation again."

Kathleen Vincello (Virtually Done, LLC)

"I came into the seminar expecting a 'dry how to' session. It was anything but. I am a small bookkeeping business owner and taking time out at this time of year is sometimes a stretch. it is the best 1.5 hour training I have had in a long time. I have learned how to simplify much of the work I am already doing and have ideas on how to move forward and improve on ongoing reports for my clients. Thank you!!!!"

Kathleen Hon (RETIRED)

"Jim Cline is always fantastic! He not only extremely knowledgeable, but you can tell he loves Excel. It sounds strange, but his classes always leave me energized and in a good mood -- and I'm not particularly an Excel person. I plan to take any class he offers! He is turning me into an excel person when I see all that can be done with it. If you take any of his classes be careful, you might get hooked."

DERRY BECK (Creative Consulting Associates, LLC)

"This was one of the most productive hour and a half training session that I've had in years! Very few really do understand the potential of Excel, and like many, I learn what I think I need to learn, and miss the potential of the product. You come away with a new appreciation, and desire to learn more and put it to use. You will recognize situations where new skills can save vast amounts of time."

Kathleen Lovett (Kathleen R Lovett CPA AC)

"When I started this webinar I would have said I was an intermediate user of Excel. When it was time for the first polling question, I knew I was a Beginner. A delightful presenter and presentation. I want more. I'm ordering the book because I want to learn more about what I can do with Excel. Thank you for an eye-opening webinar.I could not believe that an hour and a half could go by so quickly."

Kathryn Goettsch (Kathryn Goettsch CPA MAS)

"Jim is an outstanding, prepared presenter with practical tips and tricks presented in a memorable, useful way. Derek is timely in replying to inquiries making their customer service exceptional. Totally awesome! If you want your team to be efficient and to breakdown silo strengths in your firm, get this for everyone and give then the time to learn it. It will be a game changer for efficiency."

Gregory Falcon (Falcon Investments)

"Having used Excel for 25 years of my life, I reluctantly signed up for this webinar hoping to learn something helpful. I was amazed at how many simple, yet, invaluable, tips and tricks I learned in just 90 minutes - for free! Halfway through the class, I purchased the online materials for Jim’s class. If I can learn this much in 90 minutes, imagine what I can learn in a full 40 hours!"

Falita Friday (OPWDD)

"I really thought this webinar had a great mix of education and supporting scenarios, along with an amazing data set (JR Ewing)! I got a great refresher on VLOOKUP (you get rusty when you don't use it often), new tips/tricks (Proper, Trim, etc.) and confirmation that I knew a little more than the average bear (Paint Brush double click feature). Can't wait to take "Excel Ninja Skills!""

Dana Limperis (Xerox Corporation)

"EXCEPTIONAL Course! I am an advanced Excel user and have been working with this software tool for many, many years. I am familiar with many of the concepts and formulas presented in this course, and STILL learned SO MUCH! Really worth the time to attend. I would highly encourage Excel users to take this course and consider buying the expanded course -- really worth the investment."

William Bolen (Stoneridge Inc.)

"This blew me away. I learned Excel on-the-fly on my own on an older version and much if the stuff presented to me here was new to me. i have had to get by with whatever assistance that the Excel versions tutorials provided which was really not sufficient because my version is outdated. This was an eye-opener as to the power that Excel posses. I endorse your efforts 100%."

Deidra Dela Cruz (RLR)

"Often times you take a course in hopes of learning something new but end up disappointed. Jim Cline taught me "several" new tips and tricks hence the reason his webinars have the highest participation. This makes me very interested in taking his extended course because of the new tips and tricks I could possibly gain. Thank you CPA Academy and Jim for an awesome webinar."

Stacey Hannaway-Johnson (Marsh)

"This course is a teaser, justb enough to pique your interest in the Excel CEO course, and not enough to not do the same course. It was ably conducted. You know that you are enjoying training when the time is up and you are surprised that it is! Well done! I look forward to doing the full course. I do not have a choice, what with the Spinners and Format painting and all!!!"

Mindy Nold (Taylor, Nold, Kenney & Mitchell, LLC)

"I've taken many excel courses along the way in hopes of learning new tricks to help me in my business. This class was FINALLY the one. I took away 3 new tips that I know I can use in practice and the class was only an hour and a half. The instructor was well prepared, had real-life examples to present to us, and answered all questions effectively. I was impressed!"

Brenda Lawrenz (Bryan Brothers, Inc.)

"This course was excellent. Yes, Jim is a very fast talker, but I felt that he was efficient, concise and very thorough. I pulled up his Excel worksheet to use as he was talking and inputting, which was a perfect learning/application technique. I had no trouble inputting everything as he did it and explained it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who uses Excel!"

JAMIE LANCAON (JAMIE LANCAON)

"I've attended many cpaacademy webinars. This by far had such a positive impact. The presenter's style made learning very easy to follow. The working materials and the solutions allowed me to learn and also lookback on any formulas I may have missed. I walked away from this presentation learning new excel tricks that will increase efficiency in my day to day tasks."

Charles Nash (Nash + Associates)

"This course was excellent, as presented. I am considering taking the Masters Course. My only hesitancy is I am age 75 and a retired CPA. However, I am still very active in a family commercial real estate rental company and we employ Excel daily. Jim Cline is an excellent instructor of Excel, I can't say enough good things about his presentation and enthusiasm."

Lori Harberts (Writing Assistance)

"This webinar was amazing. I have taken classes on Excel and used Excel for many years and I learned 4 new things in just the short amount of time the Webinar provided. Jim Cline is awesome....he keeps you interested and focused, you will not get bored nor will your mind wander. I recommend this class with Jim Cline to anyone using Excel at any level......"

HENRI FREITAS (HENRI FREITAS TAX & BUSINESS SERVICE LLC)

"Although I had to leave the webinar early, the information presented was very informational and important on expanded my Excel knowledge which can always be improved. Some of the features is right up my alley to apply in creating worksheets for myself and my clients. I am glad that I can revisit it so that I can take each task slowly to understand it fully."

David Griffith (David P Griffith, PA)

"Jim does a great job, and I highly recommend his detailed course. (Although I have unfortunately not completed it within the one-year period for getting all of the possible CPE credits, it was still well worth it.) The information contained in the CPA Academy course is covered in his detailed course. But, still, I found this to be a useful refresher."

Kathryn Turner (TSPMG)

"Jim Cline's presentation was great! He is a wonderful presenter with nifty Excel tricks and a really good price for the number of allotted CPE hours! I have already purchased an excel course in the previous year, but am seriously considering taking Jim's course because I enjoyed the presentation and believe that I can be an Excel MASTER! Thanks Jim!"

Enrique Villarma (Diamondback Energy)

"The EXCEL TIPS AND TRICKS: BEYOND THE BASICS webinar was outstanding! Though I was already familiar with the topics presented, I'm very interested in taking the whole course to become a "Chief Excel Officer". Jim presented very well and kept my attention throughout the webinar. I enjoyed his lighthearted approach, humor and pace of instruction."

Janice Lawner (BASF Corporation)

"This class was amazing! I loved the examples and I definitely picked up some new tricks - TRIM and Double click on format were AWESOME tools that I will use regularly. I had some of my summer interns listen in with me and they also learned a lot and the example on how and why to use certain formulas made sense to them. Overall an excellent class!"

Ashlee Verner (Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas)

"I don't think I've ever been to a CPE course I enjoyed so much or learned so much from! Thank you so much! It was very engaging and showed me all kinds of tricks I didn't even know I needed to know! The course will definitely make my work more efficient. I'm having my entire team sign up for a future presentation. They all need to know this!"

Michelle Lombana (Supporting Strategies)

"Jim Cline is entertaining and is full of knowledge which he is eager to share. I've been looking for a full Excel course to take to expand my knowledge (currently light intermediate) and to earn CPE credit but have had trouble deciding on one. After Taking Excel Tips and Tricks: Beyond the Basics, I feel confident purchasing his entire course."

Trudy Cannady (NYC Comptroller)

"I am a beginner and this course, "EXCEL Tips and Tricks - Beyond the Basics", opened my eyes to how things can be done quickly and accurately, even with voluminous amounts of information in EXCEL. Additionally, it is my understanding that there is a recording of the course on the website if I want to review what was covered. Thank you."

Justin Loughrie (Howmet Aerospace)

"This was probably the most engaging CPE Webinar for Excel that I've attended. I am always continuously looking for ways to enhance my Excel skills, and this webinar did just that. It wasn't too basic, but also not too advanced or complicated for others to understand. Thanks to Jim, I was able to add some additional tools to the belt."

Stephanie Woo (K&S Consultants, LLC)

"This was a fun class. The instructor has great presentation skills and was able to engage the whole class, especially at the key topic(s). The time was well spent. I have learned how to use spinner button and now I understand what "table array" means. I am going to watch the presentation again and will sign up for the 40-hour class."

Stacia Brack (CPTS)

"This course will blow your mind! I thought I had a halfway decent working knowledge of Excel but I discovered I knew only the very tip of the iceberg of what you can do easily in Excel. In 90 minutes, you learn tons of new tricks to make your work in Excel so much more efficient. I plan to buy the 40 hour CPE they offer. Thank you!!"

Shannon Walton (Morris Tax Planning, LLC)

"The quick tips Jim shared were gold! I can't wait to use them in my work. I honestly didn't realize how little I actually know about Excel. I considered myself a pretty good user of Excel. However, after this course, it's clear I have SO much more to learn! I am definitely purchasing his Excel course and can't wait to learn more!"

Austin Merk (Universal Oil Inc)

"The course was set up in a great and interactive way with you being provided a live excel spreadsheet. The instructor found the perfect tempo of moving through it quickly enough to not get bored but slow enough to ensure everyone kept pace. It focused on formulas and tricks that can easily be used in my day to day job functions."

Kris Sander (Sander and sons)

"I so appreciated that you got started right away. So many speakers take up too much time on their own commercial that I loose interest before the webinar starts. After all, the presenter is an expert or they would not being doing the webinar. thanks for talking quickly. When I am ready to actually use it, I'll review it."

Yolanda Dunmore (Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General)

"This course was AMAZING! Jim speaks fast but shares so much knowledge. I consider myself a beginner Excel user and "Nested If Statements" blew my mind. This course will help me with the analysis I have to perform using large data sets. I'm looking forward to completing the actual course to continue expanding my knowledge base."

Heather Keller (Adams, Brown, Beran, & Ball, Chtd.)

"Jim did a phenomenal job of taking a subject that can sometimes be dry and boring and making it engaging, interesting, and even exciting! What a fantastic webinar! He also went slow enough that I could follow along but quick enough to keep my interest. Thank you, Jim! I look forward to learning more from you in the future!"

Carie Adasek (Adelphia Communications)

"This course was a great refresher! I'm still working in Excel 2007 and sometimes 2010 and learned some new things that are not in those versions, as well as a few new things I didn't know. This course, as well as the complete course offered by Jim Cline at ExcelCEO.com, will be helpful on getting me up to speed with 2016."

TERI BENSON (BENSON TAX SERVICE INC)

"The course was very fast, I love the fact that the course is recorded and sent to you so that you can watch it again and try out the different formulas at your own pace. It was not boring and the presenter made it fun with the jokes he inserted into the presentation. I would definitely recommend this presenter and material."

Christina Koval (FNCB Bank)

"The instructor of this webinar made it very easy to follow along and was energetic. It's important to me to have someone that keeps the session lively and interesting and that was accomplished in this session. The webinar material was very informative, and I learned a few new tricks that will help in my daily use of excel."

Frank Han (NYCHA)

"Jim Cline's expertise of Excel is obvious. Jim's ability to teach and keep the attention of the audience who attended the webinar engaged was evidenced by the questions that were presented to him throughout the presentation. He is an effective instructor, and the Excel examples he used were clearly explained step by step."

Kathy Hall (Community Legal Services)

"I enjoyed the webinar. It showed how easy it is to use the data instead of copy and pasting information that is time consuming. With this webinar it showed how I can cut down on time while doing the various spreadsheets. How to look for any errors that could have been made whilst using the errors. I thoroughly enjoyed it."

Soon Kretsch (H&R Block)

"It was a great course. I'm retired from a workforce so I don't work with excel spreadsheets like I used to and because of that I forgot how to custom format a spreadsheet. So this course was a great refresher for me, plus tips & tricks that I can apply to create a spreadsheet for personal finance and budget. Thank you."

Kerrie Denman (KAD Consulting)

"This was the best webinar that I've had on Excel whether it's been CPA Academy or another venue. He was very to the point ( a little fast at times but that's okay!) and so relevant to excel for CPAs. I am so grateful for this session and to him. Thanks. Loved that he did not use a powerpoint!! All excel! Awesome!"

Tawanika McNair (Thompson Taylor McNair & Associates)

"Thank you so much for the training. I learned so much about the Developer Tab. I always thought it was only for developers. So I am grateful to know that Excel is a wonderful source and how it has grown over the year. This is someone who started with Microsoft 2003-2010. Now I am someone who has used 2013-365 now."

Thomas Ulrich (Arthur N. Ulrich Company)

"I have attended many webinars across an array of general and specialized topics. This webinar exceeded my expectations significantly. The presenter was exceptionally knowledgeable, The content was very clear, and I came away with several specific tips that will be very useful and save me significant time."

Lewis Cole (Charles Cole Company, Inc.)

"I appreciate Jim's approach of covering several topics during the webinar in order to provide his viewers with ideals of what can be accomplished using Excel. We can use the handouts and the recorded webinar to learn how to actually perform a given task. I certainly pickup some new ideals form the webinar."

Faye Creech (Builders Mutual Insurance Company)

"Jim is a great presenter, balancing content with examples in a way to keep interest of excel users at various levels. His kowledge of excel is amazing, but he does not let that stop him from being very good at covering advanced topics in a way that anyone can understand. I highly recommend this course."

Francesca Jordan (First Financial Bank)

"Jim Cline's knowledge of Excel was very impressive and the tips he shared will definitely make my Excel assignments more efficient. After the training, I told 2 employees about it and recommend they take his training. You may think you know Excel, but Jim will share a few tips you never knew existed."

Joanna Crump (Bottom Line advisors)

"Honestly, this training session is now in my top 5 that I have taken through CPA Academy. Very well done. I learned several tips that will improve my work efficiency. I ended up purchasing the Excel course for 40 CPE credit, and I am excited to learn more. By the way, I enjoyed the Texas jokes, too."

maribeth aganon (Maganon Remedial Bookkeeping and Consulting Services, LLC)

"I highly recommend the course to anyone wanting to learn excel or for to those who wants a refresher. Jim was very engaging, every step taught is very important and very functional specially to those in accounting (or sales) or small business owners who wants to do excel computations on their own."

DAWN ANDERSON (Campbell Rappold & Yurasits LLP)

"The things I learned blew me away! Jim Cline is a genius and makes his excel tips so easy, yet doing them on my own, I definitely need some practice! Thankfully, the webinar was recorded and I can go back to it in order to master the material that he taught today. He is a terrific instructor!"

Jennifer Walls (Jennifer Walls)

"This is an excellent course. I am already very competent in Excel, but I still picked up a few tips during the webinar and ordered the course for me and a coworker! Jim offered great information that can be used immediately - and it was free! The hour and a half passed very quickly. Thank you!"

ELLEN LEVICKIS (Wausau Tax and Accounting)

"This was absolutely the best webinar I have ever experienced. It was much, much more than a sales pitch for a product; it taught me some things I never knew could be done in Excel, and I have been power using it for over 20 years. The presenter, Jim, motivated me to continue in Excel training."

Elaine Dovzak (Total Safety)

"While many of the tips we learned I was familiar with, the part where Jim explained how to build the nested statement was a game change for me. I immediately purchased the course after the seminar was over, knowing there is so much more to learn that will make my day to day workload easier."

Eva Martinez (Driven PSC)

"I really consider myself a beginner, even I knew several of the formulas given in the course. But this course have offered so many good tricks and formulas, and how to combine them to present data correctly and smoothly. I really enjoyed it! And time really flew by. Definitely recommend it!"

Marcene Powell (Powell & Associates)

Debra Woodward (Winn Parish School Board)

"I really enjoyed the Excel Tips and Tricks: Beyond Basics. I thought I knew a lot about Excel, I just found out I have a lot more to learn. This seminar was great! The time passed quickly and I wished we could have gone on longer. It definitely wets the palette for more Excel knowlege!"

Robyn Fournier (California Intercontinental University)

"I am usually skeptical of free webinars. I learn little to nothing, get bored, and check out. However, this webinar was full of information that I can remember and can actually use day to day in my job. I was super excited to get back to work by the time the webinar was over. Thank you!"

Jamie Loosen (Reinders)

"This was the best Excel class I have taken! It is difficult to find a course that is at my level and this was perfect. He went through the scenarios quickly which kept my attention and didn't leave me feeling like I was wasting time. I loved the spinner button and can't wait to use it!"

HOWARD WILSON (KIS, INC)

"what a wonderful course/seminar, learn so much about using Excel program from Jim. The way he lays out the different functions and the ability to convert spread sheet to a more simplicity format was mind blowing. Thanks to Jim I am now a little more efficient using the Excel spread sheet."

Kenneth Schneider (Delek US)

"This is a great course. Of course it's difficult to pack everything from excel into 1.5hrs. It's literally impossible to go over everything. But, even someone who is well versed in nested functions, vlookups, and pivot tables, learned something. Plus, it's free. What do you have to lose?"

Andrew Leibowitz (Boston & Associates PC)

"I am always looking for ways to improve my Excel skills as I feel like there has to be a way to learn more and save myself considerable time. Although the CPAacademy course was only 1.5 hours, I learned a lot and am not interested in getting more information from Jim Cline at ExcelCEO."

Shawna Bucher (Gaskill Pharis & Pharis)

"I found the tips very helpful and the training example extremely good. The trainer was very knowledgeable and comfortable with the subject. I felt the speed of the class was good as I'm busy, but greatly appreciate that it is recorded and I can check back on anything I may need to."

Ashlee Decker (Evers and Company CPAs)

Margie Fabro (M Fabro Tax & Accounting Service)

"I enjoyed Jim's seminar, his presentation is excellent. I gained a lot of knowledge from this 1 1/2 hr of webinar, things that I knew is excel could be done more efficiently and effectively after attending his presentation and there is more that I need to learn. Thank you very much."

Susan Ball (Self)

"Awesome course! I don’t like self study CPE and am currently unemployed due to a corporate downsizing, however I think the $99, 40 hour Excel course, will help me in a future accounting management job. Well done on making an this course understandable and keeping listeners engaged."

Ragin Shirley (Reasonable Air LLC)

Linda Spears (Gorgeous Holdings LLC)

"Great excel webinar with great examples. I am pretty experienced in Excel. this course showed functions I had not used liked TRIM. It also showed things I knew, but others might not. Loved the examples. I would recommend the full course. One of the best Excel classes out there."

Jaime Guerrero (San Angelo ISD)

Patricia Donohue (GoCruit)

Shannara Henderson ()

"I've been a CPA since 2009. I take an average of 40 CPE credits per year. I live and breathe Excel. This is by far, one of my favorite courses that I've taken. Very helpful and easy to follow along. Will definitely purchase your Excel 365 Complete Self-Study Course. Thank you."

Erin Stevens (Erin Stevens)

"Great energy level and made everything easy to understand and applicable. The handouts for the hands on training was perfect and in my opinion much better than the courses that just show a powerpoint slide show. Looking forward to the ExcelCEO course for both Excel and Access."

Kendra McDonald (Every Day Accounting, LLC)

"Had my mind blown within the first 5 minutes and continuously throughout! I work with Excel almost every day with my bookkeeping company and will save SO much time with so many of these tips. The presenter was also super personable and kept the entire course very interesting."

Peter Duffield (RW Beckett Corporation)

"First Excel webinar I've attended and was very happy. Always concerned courses are too basic or require purchased add-ons to accomplish what's being taught. In this case, while I knew many of the functions I came away with a few new functions and tricks. Would recommend."

Barbara Williams (U.S. Department of State)

"This course more than exceeded my expectations for a free one (1) hour course. Some of my questions were answered without asking and I learned many "quick tips". The instructor actually explained and demonstrated the use of "Spinners" in a comprehensible manner . Thank you!"

michael haugen (Mayo Clinic)

"This is by far the best Excel training course i have listened to. Before this course i considered myself a beginner with very basic knowledge but after this i feel like i am borderline intermediate after only 1.5 hours. Will definitely be signing up for the full course!!"

Camille Breland (Virginia Department of Corrections)

"Very good materials and instruction. I wish it could have been longer for additional Q&A as I had an issue following along with the directions. I believe I missed a step, and my work did not end with the same results. The information was great and useful for the work I do."

Terri O'Connor (Accounting Consultant)

"Excellent course, and it definitely left me wanting to learn more in Excel. The presented is an expert in Excel, and he offers real tips and knowledge that anyone can use right away. You will want to learn more, and he offers a great discount for CPE Excel learning too!"

Julie Stebbins (Kem Krest)

"The level was perfect for an advanced or intermediate excel person - It hits both levels. I learned a lot about excel that I can use for my job. The class is for people with more advanced skills so it's definately not for beginners hence the name "beyond basics""

Antonio Crawford (SAP America, Inc.)

"Very knowledgeable trainer. He has a PhD in Excel. This training should be very useful for anyone who needs to use excel regularly. If you think you know excel come to one of this individual webinar or class and you will realize that there is lot more to learn."

katherine parker (Hancock Whitney Bank)

"Superb presentation, even if a bit fast. I am taking away several good tips. i love learning new Excel shortcuts. And even if i don't recall specifically how to perform a given function, I at least recall that the application is capable of doing it. Many thanks."

Kulanith Jiaranai (Marcum LLP)

"Wow! Did I learn so much from this 1 hour and a half CPE course! The instructor kept my attention 100% and that's rare! I didn't realize how much I didn't know about Excel as I'm fairly Excel savvy in general and now I can't wait to learn more! Thanks so much!"

Nelva Collier-White (UMGC)

"This webinar was truly good and I learned several new tricks that will save time in my daily workload. The presenter was knowledgeable and entertaining. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to keep up, but the pace was just right. It was very informative."

Marian Eichhorn (NYC Comptroller's Office)

"Thank you. Your nesting formulas were very interesting and I hope I can apply them in the future, the spinner button was neat (even though I probably won't be able to use it), and the format painter trick was awesome - I will be using that a lot!! Thank you."

Sheriese Rush (Integrity Process Management, LLC)

Christina Campbell (Princw William County Gov)

"This is the best Excel class I have had in more than 10 years. I attempted to hire a trainer to teach a custom class to staff to provide these types of tips for our intermediate users and the staff didn't really gain much, as it was just the same old stuff."

Meryl Schaffer (TLC Daily Money Mentor, LLC)

"I am a self taught beginner. Some of the terminology I was hearing for the first time. Now I understand the WONDERS that excel can do for anybody. Once tax season is over, I definitely want to concentrate on learning more through this educational vehicle."

Amanda Austin (City of Watervliet)

"This is the best webinar I have ever taken. In fact, I like is so much, I've taken it a few times over the years. It is a great refresher for things I don't use all the time. I will be buying the full course today. I'm quite sure it will not disappoint!"

Thomas Ward (Legislative Budget Assistant)

Megan Hartwig (FORVIS)

"I have struggled with being intuitive with excel. I feel i do many of the same actions repetitively because I memorized them. This course helped me make sense of some formulas and how to structure them so excel can work for me instead of just organizing."

Meredeth McKissick (CWC)

"Incredibly useful class. I learned a couple tricks in the beginning that will save me loads of time! As the webcast progressed, I learned even more. Very very helpful! I definitely shall be signing up for his full Excel course for 40 credits. Amazing!"

Roma Sexson (CACI)

"This is my first time using CPA Academy and I was very impressed. I like your business model. If you liked the course you can buy more. I think some folks think the free offer is a scam. Maybe if it was explained this way, more folks would give you a try."

Jeff Sopko (BNY Mellon - AIS)

"Very knowledgeable presenter. I found that the pace of the course was great. Many times these types of courses move a little too slow for my taste, but this was great. Genuinely learned some techniques in excel that i hadn't been exposed to previously."

Richard Hutzenbiler (Wright McAfee & Co CPAs Inc)

"I had a major interruption in our office and only saw about 20 percent of the webinar. But what I saw I am impressed. I would like to take the webinar again. I will watch the videos. How do I take advantage of the 40 hour course? and purchase a book?"

Carrie Amerson (Magnolia Automotive Services Alabama LLC)

Dana Webb (Stinnett & Associates)

"I learned some extremely valuable tools during this presentation. I have been using Excel for many many years and had no idea about the "trim" function or the "spinner" button. I would also bet no one else in my office knows of these functions either."

Jennifer Nigro (Virginia Housing)

"This was one of the best excel classes I have ever taken. I like how the instructor walked you through each formula and took the time to show you each piece and why it worked and why it didn't. It definitely makes the logic behind the formulas stick."

Tina Brown (AvantiCom International Tax)

"Jim Cline is an excellent webinar leader. His knowledge of Excel is unmatched by anyone I have ever taken a seminar from and his ability to teach the tricks and shortcuts to make Excel work for you is worth every moment he provides you in the course."

"I am going to take the course after taking todays class. I am very proficient at excel, but I know there is so much more for me to learn. I knew probably about 90% of what was taught today, but the 10% I was able to learn was very valuable. Thanks!"

Donna Brocco (Scenicview Academy, Inc.)

"I learned a lot more than I was expecting. It was straightforward information that was at a learnable pace. It was much easier to learn the excel commands from a person with such an excellent understanding verses trying to figure it out on my own."

EVANDRO PERES (Cuyahoga Community College)

"Being familiar with Excel, it was pretty easy for me to follow along and there were a lot of good reminders for me that I really appreicated. I have some people in mind that could use Excel tips and training that I will let know of Excel CEO.com."
