My name is Marcus Small, Smallman as I was growing up and I use it as my handle online today. I live in sunny Brisbane, a beautiful part of the Australian east coast. I am a project manager, financial modeller, PBI developer and VBA developer with an ANU Masters degree in Finance. I was blest to live in the UK for about a decade working at the Big 4 for some years, then in banking for the last few years, before returning to Aus. I work happily in the city of BrisVegas these days. I have a training business which has blossomed and I am engaged by CPA Australia as a preferred training provider, delivering Excel and Power BI capability uplift programs to finance professionals across Australia. Experience includes facilitating national training initiatives through both in-person and virtual delivery. Mostly these training courses are now online and you can find dozens of my courses on the CPA website.
Now days I focus my attention on consulting work to better improve companies models while training accountants on how to use Excel, better through financial modelling, dashboard design, VBA and the effective use of the power suite of Microsoft BI tools (Power BI/DAX). It is a lot of fun and I am energised by the experience. I am very blest to do what I do and have found my passion in life. The pages on this site are the result – enjoy.
The Excel space is very competitive and a number of blog ranking sites have named this site in the top Excel blogs. I am humbled and ever so proud of my website.
