Why is Python important in Finance?
Financial Reporting
Credit Risk Reporting
Port Company Performance
Python scripts integrate SAP Analytics Cloud with Tableau by leveraging the SAP Analytics Cloud OData API. Python fetches real-time financial data, cleans it, and sends it to Tableau for visualization. This integration reduces reporting cycle time by an estimated 40% while ensuring accurate and up-to-date dashboards.
Extract financial and bond data from Bloomberg and automatically calculate key financial ratios like debt-to-equity and interest coverage. Machine learning models predict default probabilities. The models are validated for accuracy and risk scores and probability metrics are exported to Excel for presentation. Save approximately 15 hours while improving the accuracy of your forecasts by 25% with this Python integration.
Python automates the consolidation of financial data from portfolio companies, reducing manual aggregation and saving approximately 6 hours per month. IT streamlines KPI calculations, eliminating Excel formula errors and improves accuracy by 30%. Automated benchmarking and real-time alerts highlight underperformers, cutting approx. 4 hours of manual comparisons. Dynamic dashboards in Tableau replace static Excel chats, saving an additional 3 hours per month. Overall, this integration saves 13 hours monthly and improves accuracy by 30%.

How does Python Fundamentals™ work?
Orientation
Get setup in your coding environment and start writing your first lines of code in under 30 minutes. Setup your environment and quickly understand how to command basic functions that you’ll build on throughout the course.
Build on your existing foundation with excel analogs
By relating lessons and techniques to concepts finance professionals are already familiar with, PyFi courses deliver higher retention rates and a more efficient learning process. Writing Python is very similar to building financial models in Excel. PyFi builds off this foundation.
Practical application
The Python programming language is an immense topic to cover. There are many things you can learn and even more ways you can apply Python which are not relevant to you as a finance professional. PyFi teaches you what you need to know to be effective in your work without needing to pursue a formal computer science degree.
Apply proven solutions to your work
Because Python is open source, you’re able to apply working libraries, or frameworks, to your work with simple commands. Imagine downloading sophisticated financial models you could simply plug your data into. That’s exactly what’s possible with the Python programming language and PyFi gets you started by plugging the NumPy and Pandas library directly into your financial analysis.
Completion Certificates
After completing each course and passing the certification exam, students will be granted a PyFi Certification for that specific course. Use these certificates as a signal to employers that you have the technical skills to immediately add value to your team.

Zach Washam
EX - Wells Fargo
While learning Python as an investment banker, Zach made an interesting observation: Python programming had a lot in common with the Excel models he made at work. By thinking of Python like Excel, Zach quickly learned the coding language and invented Wells Fargo Securities' first machine learning algorithm for investment banking and capital markets.
After submitting two algorithms for patent protection and winning Wells Fargo's 2018 "Local Sphere Innovation Award," Zach left investment banking to launch PyFi.
Now, Zach’s courses have been delivered to thousands of finance students and professionals around the world.

How will learning Python help my finance career?
Firms are in the business of making profit, whether thats a bank, a fund, a corporation, etc. They hire you based on your ability to provide disproportionate value to them and their goals, a value that exceeds the cost of your salary. As technology changes, the level of demand of employee output continues to rise. In a pool of many talented candidates, having a competitive advantage that can make you more efficient and effective in your workflows and can make your predictive models more accurate means the value you are able to provide to your firm will be significantly greater than your contemporaries. Python is a competitive advantage in finance. In fact, more and more positions are preferring or requiring this skill to even be considered for the role in the first place.
