Spreadsheet Services for Cardiff Businesses
These are the jobs Cardiff clients bring us most. We work with every kind of business, so if yours isn't here, post it anyway.
Grant and programme reports pulled together by hand
We turn raw extracts into the tables your reporting needs, with clear logic so the next person can explain every figure.
Claims and commissions checked line by line
Claims, case and premium data gets one clean model with status dates and owners, plus a weekly summary that builds itself.
Data merged by hand from several systems
We use Power Query, Excel's built-in clean-up tool, to pull exports from several systems into one table that refreshes on demand.
Financial models a lender or investor will question
We build models with every assumption on one tab and the outputs a bank or investor expects to see.
Reports rebuilt by hand every month
We build dashboards with pivot tables, charts and slicers that update as new data arrives. A slicer is a clickable filter, so managers can pick a site or month themselves.
Payroll and pension checks done by eye
Rotas and timesheets checked against your pay rules in one place, so errors show up before the pay run, not after.

Post a ProjectHow Cardiff Businesses Use Spreadsheet Specialists
Cardiff is home to the Welsh Government and many public bodies, a big insurance and financial services employer base, and a busy film and TV sector. Public sector teams ask our spreadsheet specialists for budget, grant and programme reporting that is easy to audit. Insurance and finance teams need claims, case and performance reports that refresh from their systems. Production companies want budgets and schedules for shoots around Cardiff Bay. Cardiff University and the hospitals bring research budgets and rostering, and manufacturers along the M4 corridor towards Newport need production and supplier reporting.

What to Look For in an Excel Specialist
- They show their checks. A careful specialist adds checks that prove the workbook balances, and shows you where they are.
- They quote a fixed price. A clear scope and a fixed quote protect you from a meter that keeps running.
- They know UK rules. VAT quarters, Making Tax Digital, PAYE and the April tax year trip up specialists who don't work with UK businesses.
- They leave it maintainable. Formulas you can follow, named inputs and short notes mean you're not stuck if they're unavailable later.

Can I hire a freelance Excel specialist in Cardiff for a small job?
Yes. There's no minimum, and a one-hour formula fix is fine. You get a fixed price before anything starts.
What does a spreadsheet specialist do?
A spreadsheet specialist builds, fixes and automates workbooks: financial models, budgets, dashboards, data clean-up, macros and VAT workbooks, plus spreadsheets that have become too slow or fragile to trust.
Do your specialists understand VAT and Making Tax Digital?
Yes. We tidy VAT workbooks so the figures tie back to your ledger and are ready for MTD bridging software or your accountant. We don't file returns for you.

How fast can a specialist start on my workbook?
Often today. We usually introduce a specialist within about 15 minutes, and you get a fixed quote before any work begins.

Yes. A copy with dummy data is often enough to build or fix the workbook, and you then drop in your real numbers.
Is the Excel work done online?
Yes. Your specialist works remotely in a copy of your file, with video calls when they help. That's why rates start at £12/hr instead of consultancy rates.
