Database Basics for Financial Professionals
Information Technology | 4 Credits
Stephen Yoss
09:00 AM to 01:00 PM America/Los_Angeles

In today’s digital age, databases have become the backbone of every business technology, application, platform, and service. Every system relies on databases to store and organize information, from financial records in Quickbooks and Xero to sales efforts in Salesforce and Hubspot. Popular reporting tools like Power BI and Excel utilize databases to create beautiful, insightful dashboards. Despite the widespread use and importance of databases, many financial professionals lack a basic understanding of how they operate. Traditionally, working with databases has been delegated to an organization’s IT department, leaving the accounting team out of scope. However, in today’s technology-driven environment, accountants need to have a basic understanding of how databases work and the ability to query data independently.

Our database basics course focuses on the knowledge most helpful for financial professionals. Through hands-on learning, participants will develop the skills to query data from a database or cloud provider and use it to create insightful reports in Excel or Power BI. By the end of the course, participants will feel empowered to design their dashboards and work more effectively with cloud data. With our database basics course, gain the knowledge you need to succeed in today’s digital age and enhance your value as a financial professional.
