Microsoft Excel Consulting
MS Excel Consultant for Workbooks That Run the Business
When month-end close, dashboards, or shared workbooks are burning hours every week, our team diagnoses the real bottleneck—then delivers fixed-scope automation, models, and integrations you can maintain.
Fixed-scope project estimates based on the business value we deliver. Projects typically start at $1,200 - smaller fixes can be less, larger systems more.
Diagnosis before buildVBA · Power Query · DashboardsUS · UK · Canada
An MS Excel consultant clarifies decisions, users, and data sources before rewriting formulas or macros. You get a sequenced plan and fixed-scope delivery—not a marketplace bid. If your team is living in fragile workbooks, waiting on one "Excel person," or pasting ERP extracts every Monday, that is the engagement we run.

The problem we solve
Business-critical Excel files rarely fail because someone 'does not know Excel.' They fail because volatile formulas force full recalc, whole-column arrays scan a million empty rows, pivot caches bloat the file, macros break after a Microsoft 365 or path change, and data still arrives as a paste from another system instead of a refreshable pipeline.
Month-end packs that take hours of merges and copy-paste
Workbooks that freeze or crash when more than one person opens them
Macros that worked on one PC and fail after 64-bit Office upgrades (missing PtrSafe, broken references)
Dashboards that look fine but refresh from stale manual extracts
How an Excel consulting engagement works
How an Excel consulting engagement works
Discovery → assessment → build → validate — fixed scope before major billable work.
2. Assessment and written plan
Findings, options, and a sequenced plan with effort and trade-offs. You approve a fixed-scope quote before major billable work.
3. Build and automate
Models, VBA, Power Query, dashboards, and integrations with checkpoints so you can see progress against the scope.
4. Validate and document
Reconcile with real data, cover edge cases, leave comments/changelog, and optional training so your team can operate the workbook.
Results and proof points
- Month-end close Excel VBA automation— reduce repetitive close steps with documented macros and controls.
- Finance Excel dashboard automation— executive views that refresh from structured sources instead of weekly rebuilds.
- Excel API / CRM sync automation— push and pull operational data without manual exports.
Technical credibility: how we stabilize Excel systems
We work in the stack Microsoft actually ships: VBA, Power Query, PivotTables/slicers, structured tables, and—when needed—Power Pivot models and API connectors. Performance work is specific, not 'clean up the file.'
Replace volatile OFFSET/INDIRECT/TODAY patterns with structured references and non-volatile lookups where possible
Trim used range, reduce duplicate pivot caches, and convert heavy workbooks to .xlsb when appropriate
Repair 32/64-bit Declare statements (PtrSafe), library references, and macros broken after Office upgrades
Power Query refresh plus VBA for format/distribute so reporting becomes one-click instead of an afternoon
REST/JSON and SQL pipelines into tables your dashboards can trust
Inline VBA comments, changelogs, and handover notes so the workbook is not tribal knowledge
When Excel should stay—and when it should feed a database
Excel is the right surface for many models and reports. It is the wrong system of record when row counts, concurrent editors, or audit requirements outgrow a workbook. We say so in writing and can scope Excel-to-database solutions or Access/SQL backends when that is the cheaper durable fix. See also connect MS Access with Excel.
Who this consulting engagement is for
Finance, ops, and analytics leads who own shared workbooks
Teams losing 4–20 hours a week to merges, pastes, and broken macros
Leaders who want a written plan and fixed quote before a rebuild
Not the right fit if you
Only need a consumer Excel tutorial
Want an open-ended hourly retainer with no scope
Need a full ERP replacement (we will say so and point you elsewhere)
What clients say about our Excel consulting work
Verified client
Our team was manually exporting and re-entering data between Access and Outlook every single day. Their VBA programmer automated the entire workflow in about two weeks. We got back roughly 8 hours a week almost immediately.
Verified client
We had them do a complete rewrite of an Excel spreadsheet that locked up computers, when it was executed. Rajan did a good job of rewriting the spreadsheet and speeding it up. it takes three seconds to refresh compared to 20 minutes it was taking earlier. We'll definitely use Rajan and his team in the future.

We clarify decisions and users, review your workbooks, recommend architecture and automation, then implement: formula models, VBA and Power Query, dashboards, cleanup, performance fixes, and integrations with Microsoft 365, databases, and APIs when appropriate.
Yes. We troubleshoot broken logic, slow calculation, bloated structure, and fragile macros—then repair and document so the workbook is maintainable. Complex situations can start with a small paid assessment.
Common causes include volatile functions (OFFSET, INDIRECT, TODAY/NOW/RAND), whole-column arrays, oversized used ranges, and pivot-cache bloat. We audit the calc chain, replace volatiles with structured references where possible, trim the used range, and often convert heavy files to .xlsb so recalc becomes usable again.
Yes. Depending on your stack we connect Excel via Power Query and VBA to SharePoint/OneDrive, SQL Server, Access, CRM/ERP systems, and REST APIs so data refreshes instead of being pasted.
Small fixes may finish in days. Multi-workbook reporting or integrations can run weeks. We agree milestones and a written scope before major billable work.
Yes. Deliverables include inline VBA comments, a changelog, and plain-language notes. Optional walkthroughs and training are available when you want operators to own the workbook.
Fixed-scope project estimates based on outcomes. Projects typically start at $1,200. After a free review of your files and goals, you receive a written quote—not an open-ended hourly bill.
Yes. We routinely work under NDAs and can start from redacted samples until you are comfortable sharing full workbooks.
