An advanced calculator was not needed for accounting for decision makers. Knowledge of terms and cost accounting practices is helpful.

Is a financial calculator needed for any of the finance or accounting related courses in the MBA program?

I have found that a financial calculator is beneficial when calculating NPV, PV, FV, etc. When you start looking at cash flow of an investment and you are needing to calculate NPV, it is VERY beneficial. You could always use excel but being able to enter CF0, CF1, CF2, etc. into a calculator with the interest rate, it is much quicker.

There were quite a few questions about that for the financial management class.

By the way, what bank do you work at? I’m at the red and yellow one.

I actually work for a small bank. We have 9 locations throughout Southern Oklahoma and North Texas. That said, I am interviewing for a Program Director position tomorrow so I may not be in banking much longer. ‍
