Escaping PowerPoint

In private equity, it seems to me the primary work output is thePowerPointpresentation. And even though I'm quite skilled in PPT, it's still a ton of work and very annoying to make a 50 page deck.

So my question is this: is there a finance job out there that doesn't use PPT? Maybe certain types of hedge funds? Although I've heard of a fewHFsthat still build models and decks. Yuck.
