The best financial models are boringly simple.

In this episode of The Diary of a CFO Podcast, host Wassia Kamon, CPA, CMA, MBA is joined by Christian Wattig, Founder of the Inside FP&A, Managing Director & Lead Instructor at FP&A Prep, Director of the FP&A Certificate Program at Wharton Online, about one simple rule that’s reshaping how finance pros approach modeling.

Put your thumb on the screen.

If your Excel formula spills past it? It’s time to simplify.

Break the logic into steps. Spread it out across multiple rows. Add the parts together at the bottom.

No more scrolling through monster formulas. No more decoding spaghetti logic under pressure.

This isn’t about dumbing things down.
