Excel consulting for the spreadsheets your business actually runs on
Some workbooks are too important to stay fragile. We audit what you have, fix what is breaking, and hand back a file your team can use without calling the person who built it.
What a consulting engagement covers
Most companies have one or two spreadsheets doing far more work than anyone planned for — the pricing model, the roster, the month-end pack. They grew by accident, they only make sense to one person, and every change is a small risk.
That is the work we take on. You send the file and describe what it needs to do. We come back with what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long it takes. No retainer required to start.
Workbook audit
A written review of structure, formulas, links, volatile functions and every point where the file can silently break.
Rebuild or repair
Either we repair in place and keep your layout, or rebuild on a clean data model. You decide once you have seen the audit.
Automation
The manual steps — copy, paste, reformat, email — move into Power Query or VBA so the file updates itself.
Handover
Documentation, a short recorded walkthrough, and 30 days of follow-up questions answered at no extra cost.

Fixed price, quoted after we have seen the file or the brief. Nothing is billed until you approve the scope in writing. See pricing.
Yes. Send yours and we will sign it, or use ours. We can also work on anonymised data if the file contains anything you would rather not share.
Most audits begin within two business days of the quote being approved. Urgent breakages are usually same-day.
Yes. If macros are blocked, we build with Power Query and native formulas instead. Tell us the constraints up front and we design around them.
