Microsoft's Work Essentials Web Site

Microsoft's Work Essentials Web site is dedicated for users of Microsoft's Suite of Office programs. The site provides practical tips on how workers in various occupations can reap the full benefits of Office programs. My four articles will shortly appear on the Work Essentials Web page dedicated to financial occupations. The articles deal with subjects near and dear to a financial planner's heart, including managing cash flow, structuring client questionaires and effective schedule management.
