EXCEL CONSULTANT

I have been using Excel intensively for over two decades to run complex operations across the world, specialising in spreadsheets that analyse data quickly, designing them to help improve business decisions and automating repetitive tasks.
I have a wealth of experience as a manager and consultant on operational planning and budgeting in addition to Excel consulting and working on over 1,800 Excel projects for over 700 organisations.
I pick up and understand business requirements quickly and enjoy helping people solve problems quickly, saving them both time and money.
