5 Must Have Financial Modelling Desk & Office Accessories

Ultrawide Monitor

When it comes to working with large Excel workbooks, have a widescreen monitor is essential for being able to view an entire model, or at least a large portion of it!  From forecasts spanning into decades, and tabs that need to be assessed, a widescreen monitor will let you take in a model with ease.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

I have the Sony WH-1000XM3s – although the latest version the XM4s are shown in the pic and the link.  The XM3s are incredible for blocking outside noise and distractions.  I’ve even recorded Financial Modelling Podcasts with them.  The sound quality is incredible, and the noise cancellation is definitely productivity-enhancing, a must-have for late nights making balance sheets balance!

Precision Mouse

Logitech MX Master Mouse – I have the 2 and the 3 is out as well. Not only is this mouse incredibly comfortable (with the much-needed horizontal scroll for financial models), but you can also customise mouse buttons. I’ve customised the buttons on the side of the mouse to move up and down worksheets in Excel.

Comfortable Keyboard

Logitech K380 keyboard.  I have 3 computers at home and this keyboard can be linked to three devices and switches between the 3 (like the MX Master Mouse).  Compact and comfort in one easy to use device.  This paired with the MX Master mouse is a game changer!  This keyboard is easy to program for Excel shortcuts, just like the MX Mouse.

Display Bookshelf

If you’ve read my previous posts on must-have financial modelling and data analytics books, you probably need a bookcase to display them all!  A great bookcase looks superb as a background in Teams and Zoom meetings.
