Structured Excel solutions for financial services firms that can't afford for their processes to fail.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Your team spends hours every week copying between spreadsheets
  • One broken formula throws the whole report off
  • Your IT can’t respond quickly enough (they've got their hands full with BAU and delivering strategic solutions)
  • And your high-value staff are stuck fixing Excel again

Excel on Tap: Ongoing Excel Development Capacity — Without the Hiring Overhead

With Excel on Tap, your business gets ongoing access to senior Excel developers who understand your environment, your priorities, and your deadlines — without the cost or complexity of hiring.

We become, in effect, your Excel team. We work through a prioritised backlog with you, continuously improving and automating your most important Excel processes — month after month.

Whether it's automating a manual reporting process, rebuilding a fragile model, reducing key-person risk, or improving data accuracy — we handle it continuously, not just once.

No hiring. No overhead. Just results.

Stop asking your senior people to maintain spreadsheets they didn't build, fix macros they don't understand, or manually compile reports that should run automatically.

That's not a strategy — it's an expensive distraction.

Excel on Tap removes it permanently.

Who We Work With

We work with mid-tier financial services firms — asset managers, FX dealers, private equity firms, and options traders — where Excel is genuinely operationally critical. Our clients are typically COOs, CFOs, and Heads of Operations who are responsible for processes that run on Excel and are tired of the risk, the manual effort, and the key-person dependency that comes with it.

Business & Financial Benefits

Mid-tier financial services firms typically rely on one or two internal "Excel experts" — often senior, expensive people whose time is far better spent elsewhere. Or they ask their IT team, who are generalists without the specialist Excel skills to deliver what the business actually needs.

The result is the same either way: fragile workbooks, manual processes, and operational risk that quietly accumulates.

With Excel on Tap, you can:

  • Reduce operationally fragile or poorly designed spreadsheets
  • Reclaim hours or days every month with automation
  • Improve reporting accuracy and audit trails
  • Free your “Excel hero” staff to focus on their core roles
  • Let your IT team focus on strategic solutions, not spreadsheet rescue

What We Deliver

Excel processes that currently take hours or days can be automated to run in minutes — with greater accuracy, better documentation, and significantly reduced risk.

Our clients have achieved ROI gains of up to 631% and reclaimed dozens of hours every month from manual Excel work.

What we build and automate for Excel on Tap clients:

  • Automated reporting packs and dashboards driven by live data
  • Power Query integrations replacing manual data collection and consolidation
  • VBA-driven tools, forms, and user interfaces built for your specific workflows
  • Stable, documented rebuilds of fragile or legacy workbook structures
  • SQL and database integrations removing manual data handling entirely
  • Reduced key-person dependency through documentation and knowledge transfer

In most financial services firms, the people best placed to analyse data are the same people manually collecting it. Excel on Tap changes that.
