What clients say about Clarity and our spreadsheet consultancy and training work

Happy client of Clarity

The Bath Pub Company logo

"Since starting to work with us Clarity have transformed the accuracy and efficiency of our financial reporting and processes.

They're extremely professional and swiftly deliver projects to a high standard. And on top of that, they're nice guys too – they're a pleasure to work with and have become an essential part of our team."

Joe Cussens, Managing Director, The Bath Pub Company

"Myles and I have worked together on a couple of data driven market analysis projects.

He has acted like a partner to the team. His excel expertise and data analysis rationale have been invaluable to the success of the projects. He is a real pleasure to work with; always professional, calm under pressure and a real expert in his field. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

Helen Benton, Strategy Director, The Strategy Barn

Glory Global Solutions logo

“We are implementing a global ERP, and the Excel model we were using to capture and forecast costs had become inefficient due to our changing needs to analyse spend in different ways.  We discussed our problems with Clarity and after a face-to-face meeting we followed up with some telephone conversations.

We now have a financial model which accurately collects and presents the cost data of our project.  More importantly, the agility and intelligence of the model means we can provide on-the-spot updates to the project’s whole life cost expectations during meetings and presentations.

Giles listened very carefully to our requirements, he took time to ensure he understood every part of our model’s needs and he delivered something which aligns precisely with what we requested.  I would certainly use Clarity Consultancy Services again.”

Martin Eves, Director of Financial Operations, Glory Global Solutions

"We were looking for a reliable, scalable way to analyse business performance, integrating our various data sources into one place. Previous attempts had been unreliable/inaccurate, unmanageable and not scalable.

We now have reliable data and a reporting platform which is transformational to us as a business and enables us to understand in a much clearer way what is going on. 

I would absolutely recommend Clarity Consultancy Services. The main reason is the level of organisation in the delivery of the project, as well as the fact that we felt empowered/able to easily own the project when it was delivered."

Tom Stapleton, Managing Director, Travellocal

"Whilst there are bespoke valuation reporting models for mature real estate markets such as the UK and US, there are not currently any which cover the Middle East. We tasked Clarity with designing a model in Excel which we could populate and then export the data into various report templates in Word.

Clarity Consulting Services have provided us a fully flexible model that allows us to easily input data and then export it into various report formats for delivery to our clients. The model has streamlined our reporting process significantly thus increasing output and profitability for the business.

We would highly recommend Clarity Consultancy Services. They took the time to understand our requirements which in turn allowed them to provide us with a model which does exactly what we want it to. Throughout the process we requested many changes to the model which Myles and his team made in a timely fashion. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and the final product!"

"I arranged Excel training through Clarity following a recommendation.

Myles delivered a valuable, tailor-made session which taught myself and my colleagues skills relative to how we need to use Excel for our work. Myles was extremely patient with us and continuously ensured we were on track.

What I found most beneficial were the working examples he created for us to work with throughout the training.

I would highly recommend Myles. He understands your business need for training and delivers exactly that and much more."

H Wicks, Project Coordinator, TowerEight

"Clarity have created a bespoke Excel spreadsheet for my Company that allows me to produce integrated Sales Forecast, P&L, Balance Sheet and Cashflow Forecasts over a 3 year  period. I can quickly produce a set of reports  for the bank and for internal forecasting purposes.

As a Chartered Accountant and business owner of 27 years, it is one of the most useful financial tools I have available to me.

I can highly recommend Clarity’s unique blend of IT skill and detailed accountancy knowledge. They are effective and very easy to do business with."

Tim Hughes, Managing Director, CHH Conex Ltd

"As a unique and global-leading energy research consultancy, our analysts are a community of highly skilled and talented individuals. As our market continues to move at rapid pace with more and more data being sourced, our analysts have had to enhance their skillset with a highly advanced new set of Excel skills.

We have partnered with Clarity Consultancy Services for a number of years. They have delivered a blend of modular training to groups of analysts mixed with powerful and collaborative 1:1 sessions – unlocking not just individual ability but transforming the way we handle incredible amounts of data. This has resulted in us absorbing greater amounts of data and translating that in to cutting-edge research.

I would recommend Clarity Consultancy Services without hesitation. Myles is one of the family at Energy Aspects, building strong relationships across the business. He provides regular support to our teams, and our analysts enjoy challenging, and being challenged by, Myles!"

Dan Denningberg, Global Head of People, Energy Aspects

"Great to meet you today and thanks for the course. We all really valued it and are looking forward to being more efficient with Excel!

"We have used Clarity Consulting Services to provide a number of FAST Level 1 training courses. On each occasion they provided excellent instruction tailored to the skill levels of those attending. In addition, they were able to provide a bespoke training course for our more senior staff which has enabled us to better exploit our existing software and realise significant savings by avoiding now un-necessary software purchases.

I would have no hesitation in using Clarity’s services again or recommending them to others."

Steve Jackson, CEO, SA Group

"Thank you so much for the bespoke Intermediate / Advanced Excel course that you carried out on-site at Zuken.

The training was for myself and one other person and was delivered friendly and efficiently. It was well organised and our trainer was really great at adapting it to each of our individual needs. He assisted us in applying the new techniques to some of our existing reports and this has really helped reduce time in our day-to-day reporting.

I would certainly recommend Clarity to anyone wanting Microsoft Excel training and will not hesitate to use you again."

Katerina Banwell, UK Accountant, Zuken UK Ltd

“My team and I found our bespoke Excel training course covered everything we had requested and more. It was perfectly pitched for the various abilities in the group and the materials are very useful.

Our trainer was very knowledgeable and able to work with our real life scenarios as well as the course content examples.”

Sally Lawrance, Senior Marketing Manager, Kohler Mira Ltd

"We have spent a long time looking for the right training company to deliver our excel training.

In Clarity we found just what we were looking for – tailor-made Excel training for each and every one of our employees. Not only did we get excellent excel training at all levels, but they also understood how we were using excel in our work, making the sessions much more relevant.

We would highly recommend Clarity and will certainly continue using them in the future."

Bettina McLean, Senior Associate, Hamilton Hotel Partners Ltd

 

"I cannot praise the instructor highly enough. Our requirements for the training were clearly reviewed, discussed and tailored to a group of very different abilities. Pacing, delivery and passion for the subject and level of knowledge was excellent.

The instructor used his knowledge and experience to advise how we could apply improvements to our existing ways of working. Thank you."

S Sewell, Defra

"I engaged Clarity Consultancy Services as Excel Consultants to work on Excel based product price lists as Customer Care Manager Welch Allyn.

Their consultants quickly understood our requirements and immediately gave us the confidence that they could provide an appropriate solution. The new price lists were delivered on time, are better presented and simpler to use, and, most importantly, our customers love them.

I am very happy to recommend Clarity Consultancy Services."

Sandra Lawler, Customer Care Manager Welch Allyn

P. O'Toole, MD Retail Merchandising Services Ltd

"The work recently done by Clarity Consultancy Services to upgrade the management accounting, budgeting and monthly payroll processing at Bristol Old Vic has made a significant difference to the efficiency of the finance team, meeting expectations across the board and in places exceeding it.

Significant step change improvements in the use of office technology have been achieved at reasonable cost and on budget."

Nigel Gardner, Finance Director, Bristol Old Vic

"We found Clarity when we were looking for support on a project developing a core reporting platform for the Group Finance team of a leading pharmaceutical client.

Clarity provided resource in four areas: Project management, business analysis, testing and Excel spreadsheet expertise. The Clarity team were a key conduit between the business SME and my development team and contributed significantly to the project being delivered on time and to the agreed budget.

I regularly recommend Clarity to my clients and look forward to working with the team again."
