Employer connections
We use Excel and Invest for Excel software for cash flow modeling. Invest for Excel can be used in the IT rooms at Laurea Leppävaara, and a link will be sent to the students in September, so you can use the software from your own computer. If you want to learn the use of the software earlier, you can download a trial version for one month.(www.datapartner.fi)
