Knowledge Base: PowerPoint Tutorials

After Excel, PowerPoint is the most critical software for investment banking roles (and even related ones in private equity, corporate development, and corporate finance).

However, many people tend to underestimate it because it “seems” easy: How hard could it be to manipulate shapes and change the colors and font sizes?
