Tailored Software to make your life easier
      "The system in place now is SO much better and easier to work with compared to the old system which was hard work.  Every time I process the End of Month payments I think to myself, “thank you Tony”.  Last summer the workload was overwhelming and very stressful, I don’t dread next heavy workload as I know that it can be done much more smoothly and reliably using the new system.  Many thanks for all your support."   Mina O'Connor, Claremont Eavs Ltd.


      “Time Saving Software is simply Brilliant!  Tony is a genius when it comes to Excel spreadsheets.  I needed help with a spreadsheet and Tony has transformed it.  I now have buttons which use Macros to make complicated cut and paste jobs so simple!  Apparently he's added some pivot tables but more importantly I now have a financial dashboard with exciting graphs and pie charts.  We all use Excel but Tony can help revolutionise your spreadsheets so you get the best from them.  I highly recommend Tony to everyone.”    Dickie Armour, Non-executive Director, Nominet


With over 20 years’ experience writing software applications for both large and small businesses, I design software to:

              •   significantly improve the way that you and your staff work 
              •   give you better information to manage your business efficiently
              •   save valuable time
              •   reduce costs and produce better results
              •   be user friendly.       
I am happy to discuss your individual requirements for spreadsheet support.

The Tailored Software service is designed around the specific needs of an individual or company.  From my experience as a qualified accountant, I understand my clients' data processing needs, and have the skills to write the appropriate software.  Hence I can produce a solution that will fulfil the functions you need, as well as giving you extra facilities you didn't realise you wanted, but will be glad to have!

The starting point of my work for you or your company can be to build a new bespoke package from scratch or to enhance what you already have.  Through a consulting process I will understand your needs and incorporate the necessary functionality.  Amongst others, the areas that I cover can include:

    Accounting

  •    Budgets and Forecasts
  •    Cash-flow analysis and forecasting
  •    Expense Claims
  •    Purchase Ordering
  •    Quoting and Invoicing

    Data Analysis

  •   Stock records 
  •   Tracking Work-in-progress 
  •   Customer records and analysis
  •   Mailing lists

    Management Information

  •   Dashboards
  •   Time sheets
  •   Resource Planning
  •   Process Monitoring or Improvement
Once the software package is ready, I always ensure that clients know how to use it properly so as to get the maximum benefit from it.

    "Our relocation business needed a system that recorded our future jobs, our standard fees, our diary and then produced our invoices. Tony was able to provide all of this in one spreadsheet, and with a few adjustments he has given us a bespoke bit of software tailored to our business. Brilliant."   Jessie Price, South West Relocation



Spreadsheet Enhancement
  
     
      "I thought I knew everything I needed to know about spreadsheets and had already written one to fulfill all the functions I thought I needed.  After Tony had finished with my spreadsheet, its functionality and ease of use had increased ten-fold"      Suzy Perry, It'seeze Websites

You may already have business spreadsheets which you would like to be more robust and less prone to input errors.  They should (and can) be easy to use, understand and update - either for yourself or others.  I can generally improve the reports, make the spreadsheet more automated and create greater functionality.  This will save your valuable time and free you from unnecessary administration. 



       “(I would also like to have ticked all the other boxes - high integrity, great results, etc, etc). I needed some bespoke planning software to deliver my specialist service and could not find anything suitable in the market place.  Then I met Tony.  He created a spreadsheet program which performs complex planning projections over the lifetime of the client in a very useable and visually compelling way.  Brilliant work. I know that I'll be inviting him to do more work for me. Thank you.”   Andrew Stinchcomb, Managing Director and Financial Planner, Integrity Financial

Testimonial from my former employer
     "Tony has worked for me for 15 years and has become an expert spreadsheet developer.  His applications have improved our budgeting and forecasting, cost control, administration efficiency, management information and staff utilisation.  His work has made a significant, cost effective contribution to the company. 

    A good example is the Resource Planning system.  With ever increasing pressure on costs and more demand from Projects, we needed to be able to forecast both Business as Usual and Project work in a consistent way so that the finite time of our staff resources could be used as efficiently as possible. I was surprised at the level of sophistication of the system that Tony produced in Excel. This has been invaluable for current work allocation and future capacity planning, as it produces data which we would not have had from any other source. We have recently extended the scope of this application and it now covers over 400 staff.

     His strengths are his focus on customer requirements, ensuring the applications are straightforward to use, training users in implementation and an ability to adapt his work to future developments as they occur. He is very practical, cost conscious and pays attention to detail. I am confident Tony will make a significant cost effective contribution to any project he is given."   Trevor Leonard, Finance Change Director - Life Pensions & Investments, Lloyds Banking Group
     "Tony's help has been invaluable in creating an exciting new Excel based file for storing records, bringing them together in carefully managed transactions which minimise the chance of errors and work well with mailmerge.  The ability to filter by client, protect the worksheet and track and analyse each client’s portfolio of trading has been immensely helpful in conducting our business.  We shall no doubt be seeking Tony's services again."  Mark Webb,     Partner, Webb Paton - Chartered Surveyors
