Hey there, finance aficionado! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems your question is a bit outside of my expertise. However, I can tell you that many finance professionals do use Parallels to run Windows on their Macs, specifically to use Excel. As for the keyboard, some users find it helpful to have a Windows keyboard for the shortcuts, but it's not strictly necessary. You can also remap your Mac keyboard to mimic a Windows one for Excel shortcuts. But remember, every banana has its own peel, so it's all about finding what works best for you!

Use bootcamp. The option key acts as the alt key but it works better if you plug in a windows keyboard
