About This Course

PowerPoint is a widely available resource that is potentially underutilized by accountants because many accountants do not stray beyond Excel and Word in the Microsoft Office suite. You will learn how to create and edit a professional PowerPoint slide deck. This session places particular emphasis on efficiency tips and tricks that will allow you to develop creative, professional visual aids while minimizing time and effort.

The course’s author will share personal insights he has cultivated throughout more than two decades of public speaking. Although the session will focus on creating and editing slides, we will illustrate best practices for presentation delivery. We also will explain how PowerPoint can be used for purposes other than delivering presentations.

Key learning outcomes include:

  • Navigating the PowerPoint interface and leveraging core menus (Design, Home, Insert).
  • Utilizing efficiency tools like the Slide Master and content duplication.
  • Enhancing slides with Smart Art, pictures, video, and audio.
  • Applying best practices for slide layout, content, and presentation delivery.
  • Planning your message, overcoming writer's block, and organizing complex information.
  • Exploring advanced capabilities like creating videos from presentations and using valuable add-ins.

Equipped with these practical skills, you will confidently transform data into visual narratives, making your presentations more impactful and saving valuable time.
