I'm offering
With over 10 years experience working almost exclusively in Excel I have come to love the creative capabilities it has to offer.
I truly believe anything is possible in Excel, so if you have an idea of how your workbook should look and feel then I can create it for you. Be it with complex formulas, conditional formatting, pivot tables or bespoke VBA macros, get in touch and I'll complete the task to your specifications.
