Excel Consultant Reviews: Client Testimonials and Results

For over a decade, Excel4Business has been soliciting feedback from clients alongside our invoices. We have asked clients to rate us on a simple 5 star scale across a few categories. Clients have also had the opportunity to leave comments either anonymously, with their name, or with their name and company name. We have featured some of our favourite testimonials across the site. However, they don't do justice to the breadth of work we've performed over the years.

We have summarised the 335 survey responses received to date in the table below. They include 285 unique clients, with some repeat customers responding multiple times.

Measure Average Score % 4 or 5 Stars
Overall, how satisfied were you with our company? 4.78 94.3%
How likely are you to recommend Excel4Business to a friend or colleague? 4.75 94.0%
How likely are you to use Excel4Business again? 4.75 92.8%
How responsive have we been to your questions and concerns? 4.82 95.5%
How would you rate the value for money of our service? 4.59 92.5%

We did also query customers on whether they were sceptical of working with us remotely. Even in the self-selecting sample of our clients, there was only a slight skew towards "not at all" as opposed to "I had serious concerns". That suggests our consultants are consistently winning over clients from the first conversation, through to delivery.

The full questionnaire can be found here.

Below is a comprehensive list of the 4 or 5 star testimonials in the analysis that included a comment. They are grouped as follows:

Some of the comments refer to consultants who are no longer with us. We have matched everyone to their industry to illustrate the breadth of our expertise.

Very speedy response. Great at understanding our requirements and coming up with an excellent working solution.
The programme should save us almost 1000 hours of manual inputting per annum
Graham SimonsTaste of SuffolkFood Production
I think your service was great and saved us a lot of work. We were able to automate a process that used to take our accountant a week each month and now it takes us several minutes. The Macro is reliable and helps us work with sensitive information.
Aleksandra M. ZlatevaBeth Israel Deaconess Medical CenterHealthcare
Have been working with Excel4Business several years now, and have always been extremely satisfied. Ed's response time is almost instant! He has saved me days of work by developing the comparison reports. Used to take me 2 days to process one vendor bill, now takes me 35 minutes!

Excel4business response time was really quick. With little fuss they completed our project requirements effectively and efficiently.
The report converter has helped us to link software, automate a process and reduce our invoice inputting from around three hours per day to a matter of minutes.
Graham SimonsTaste of SuffolkFood Production
Excellent service, have recommended your service to several friends. Will continue to use your services. You have reduced my work time on this project from 6 hours to 30 minutes. THANK YOU!

I purchased a dairy distribution business in 2013. The previous owner did all his invoicing by hand. With the spreadsheet program created for me by Excel4Business, I now use a tablet and portable printer throughout the day. This program has improved business in many aspects: my invoices look more professional, I spend 25% less time writing, the invoices are stored in a data base, and with the extra time, I have added more customers to my route and have more free time for my family. The Excel4Business consultant is always fast to respond to any of my concerns. Thank you Excel4Business!

Darren Meadows provided outstanding service on this project. He was polite, informative, professional, and showed great concern that I was satisfied with the final product. I could have spent hours trying to figure out what he did in less than an hour. Excel is such a powerful tool but most users only scratch the surface of its capabilities. I am very pleased to know that help exists to do some of the more complicated features of the program. Very pleased.

Andy has saved me many hours of work through his excellent spreadsheet. He provided it very quickly, which was exactly what I needed due to a time constraint. This is the second spreadsheet he has provided, and both have been absolutely excellent pieces of work. He is also very personable on the phone, and understood what I needed immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.
Harry BellJubilee Computing Services LtdInformation Technology
Andy Roe was very careful to take time to understand exactly what our needs were and delivered an excellent service that has saved us a considerable amount of time in monitoring our retail business. We have already commissioned more work with Andy and will have no hesitation in contacting Andy as and when we need more help.

Tony Ware is absolutely amazing, he can do things with Excel that I never thought were possible. It has saved our business a HUGE amount of time and has really helped to simplify our processes. He is the absolute best!!
Lauren MartinSeaside Plumbing IncPlumbing
Thank you to Ian for the extremely fast turnaround and fix for a problem that has been troubling me for a long time. This will allow me to process work far more effectively and I am sure will have a positive effect on my margins as well as give me piece of mind over not having to trust my own calculations

Complex and Specialized Projects

Stefan Stanev created a cabinet quoting product in Excel. When I started this project I was told by someone in out IT department that I needed to find an excel guru. I believe I found one in Stefan. The results were beyond our expectations. Stefan was excellent to work with. Very communicative, upbeat and professional. We are very happy with the product.

Their customized solutions not only streamline processes but also significantly enhance efficiency. I highly endorse their services and strongly recommend considering them for your estimating needs.
Tom KovacevicVisio InteriorsDesign
It has been great to work with Tony on our project. He brought input along the way and allowed us to think differently about our requirements and the end results. We have been able to work much more efficiently and speedily with the new worksheet Tony has advanced and we continue to be in touch as and when we need support which is of great value. We would highly recommend Excel4Business services and would not hesitate to use Tony in future projects.

Rolando exactly understood what I required and the Excel workbook ( a scanned inventory system designed to produce information for clients about rental assets for Carnets ) works very well. Just what I wanted.

Working with a Remote Consultant

Excellent service. I have used Excel4Business several times within the last year. Jacob Hilderbrand (Consultant) has been an awesome resource for my project. Great customer service. He has been able to take my "left field, outer space" ideas and make them a reality. Remote consulting must have moments that challenge all involved. Jacob has seamlessly understood the request and produced outstanding results. I will certainly use Excel4Business for my future projects.
Thanks
Russell HinesBedford TXLocal Government
Mark Smith was fantastic. He took the time to understand my project needs, was able to tweak the Excel program as we found nuances that we didn't think of initially, was patient with me - a non-Excel user, spent time with my administrative staff to explain the program again, and responded quickly to emails and phone calls. He wrote a very intuitive program and user guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and delightful to work with. I found no problem working remotely, will utilize Mark again when the need arises, and recommend him highly as someone who is able to listen to the client, address their concerns, and complete the task as requested. Thank you for connecting me with him!

Andy was excellent. Even given the fact that we are in Canada, he worked with our schedule to get it right, and was there to fix any issues or answer any questions in a very short time.
Tanya RowterGlobal Fruit LtdFood & Agriculture
We were concerned that our requirements for a spreadsheet would get lost in translation given the specialist nature of our requirement, however Ben has been fantastic, managing to interpret our non technical jargon into a working solution which we are delighted with. Thank you Ben, I hope we get to work on another project with you in the future,
Sarah WroeSAS Photos LtdPhotography
Great Job!
I was sceptical that you would be able to solve my problem in the time that I required. You got it back ahead of time and your solution worked perfectly!
JasonRetail
Whatever you're paying Andy is not enough. He is extremely talented and a very good communicator. He delivers what he says and when he says. Even with the major difference in time, that did not seem to impair him from doing his job.

I was immediately pleasantly surprised when first dealing with Zack Bodinger - Excel4Business- I had been attempting to have someone with local accountant or attorney office do this project for some time.
Zack took the project to heart was very intuitive and insightful throughout!
Although my project was small the project flow made it seem it was Zack's only project. The price was reasonable and I'm excited to know who to contact for my future Excel needs.

I have worked with Andy on about 3 projects over the last year and he is amazing. For all of the knowledge that he has, he is able to explain things to me in a way that is still completely understandable. He is so helpful in a way of listening to what I need and also still providing ideas that I may not have thought about. My excel relationship will go on with him for years.... He is honestly my immediate contact for anything because he is just great to work with. Thanks!
