What I can do for you

Exactly what I'd take off your plate on this project — in plain English.

Add new items to your dashboard
We'll integrate the two new inventory items into your existing Excel dashboard, ensuring they display correctly.
Match data input order to QuickBooks
We'll reorder your Excel 'Data Input' tab columns to precisely match the 'QB sales by item report' for easier data entry.
Ensure data consistency
We'll review your Excel model to make sure all formulas and links update correctly with the new items and order.
Create custom inventory reports
If needed, we can build additional reports within Excel to give you deeper insights into your stock levels and sales trends.
