Excel & VBA Training

Excel spreadsheet development for small and medium and large enterprises. Excel spreadsheets are flexible, understood by most people but can also be used for very complex tasks especially if they incorporate VBA programming or automate processes. Our expertise can create a solution to suit your needs within a budget and help reduce your costs.

Administration Systems to support your team and help them work more efficiently. From management information, report automation, call logging software, tracking marketing campaigns, stock control applications, management accounts and integration with existing systems. Save time and effort to record and report the information you need and report in the way you want it.

Access database development for collecting, storing and analysing many different types of information. Access is ideal for smaller, growing businesses who want the power of a bigger database system but at a fraction of the cost, or for larger businesses who want a robust solution for a specific set of data.

Business Planning including financial modelling but also finding ways to make better use of assets, production planning, optimising stock holdings, efficient use of vehicles and many other tasks specific to an individual business.

Management Information & Key Performance Indicators need to be updated regularly and reported in a format that suits you. Bring the data to life whether you prefer tables of figures or colourful charts. Spot trends by comparing to historic data, forecast future scenarios using tested assumptions or highlight weak and strong performance using heat grids and pivot tables to home in on specific areas.

Marketing Strategies such as Pay Per Click advertising, email marketing, direct mail and well composed marketing materials all have a place in your strategy but to know what's working best you need to test and measure your campaigns.

Project Assessment to assess a new project before it is implemented. Whether you are starting from scratch or adding to an existing business, a new project will take time and resources. Careful assessment of the expected income and costs and the effect on your existing business will ensure that you are fully aware of the risks and rewards before you start.

Office Automation which increases the efficiency of your administration staff and in turn provides more accurate information to you or your management team. Many office tasks can be automated or semi-automated to reduce tedious jobs to no more than a few clicks of a button and VBA programming. We can collate data, reduce the risk of errors and produce reports - often within seconds.

Data Collection & Analysis is vital for any business to evaluate how well it is performing. You can't manage a business if you don't monitor its performance. You may generate your own data or you may collect it from other sources. Either way, understanding the data means extracting meaningful information and helps you to separate the wood from the trees

Training is available for Excel, Access and VBA and can be for groups of people or on a one-to-one basis. It can be provided for all levels of user and use real examples from your business if that helps to put it into context.

Continuing Support can be given on the telephone, through regular meetings or by mentoring. For guidance on all these options please contact us.

Planning, Recording & Measuring

Business success comes from planning. Without a plan you cannot set achievable aims and targets, which are essential to set you heading in the right direction.

But planning and action are not enough on their own. To find out if you are staying on track you must test, record and measure the outcomes of any changes and then test, record and measure again.

Good information, concise management reports and the ability to change when necessary is a continuous process and vital for success.

Business Models

Understanding how your business works is the key to making it successful.

An interactive financial model which can be used to try out different scenarios can give you a real insight to your business' potential.

Outputs from the model can be used to support your business plan by showing how a change in sales and costs under different scenarios affect the profits, balance sheet and cashflow.

Administration Efficiency

Running an admin office efficiently is a challenge but a good office system will control the workflow, help make decisions and send & record customer communications.

Your customers will receive a consistent, professional service from first contact to ongoing communication whether by email, letter or phone.

No more reliance on any one person because skills and knowledge become shared between office staff.
