Why Microsoft Teams?

The workspace finance and consulting
teams live in every day.

Microsoft Teams is where the working day happens: chats, channels, calls, files, tasks. This subject takes a non‑technical look at how to use it well, so the team can communicate, collaborate and run meetings without losing track of the work.

Where finance and consulting teams collaborate every day

Teams is the daily workspace; sharper Teams habits compound across every meeting, chat and document the team touches.

Non‑technical, by design

Pitched at analysts and managers, not IT. Concepts are explained in plain language with finance and consulting examples throughout.

Productive use, not just chat

Best practices for task tracking, meetings, files and integrations, so Teams works as a productivity tool and not just a messaging app.

Credentials that stand up

Independently accredited by CPD, CPE and NASBA, so what learners earn here counts towards continuing professional development.
