Manual Excel tracking was the main problem for a US-based consulting company due to the operations heavily relying on high-stakes analysis and data-driven decisions. This was slowing teams down and creating unnecessary risks.
iFour stepped in with a custom Excel Add-in solution, which helped them with data accuracy, speed, and auditability.
Our Add-in helped them gain automated version control, role-based access, and advanced comparison tools, which helped them turn spreadsheets (from a liability) into a reliable business asset.
Impacts Observed:
less manual work
fewer errors
faster reports
data security
audit-ready
Our client is a strategic consulting firm serving financial analysts, M&A advisors, and business intelligence teams across the United States.
Industry: Financial Modeling and Strategic Consulting
Geography: United States
Size & Operations: High-performing teams conducting complex, high-stakes analysis using Excel across multiple business units
Initial Approach & Where It Failed: They relied on manual Excel workflows for modeling and reporting, which became bottlenecks as the firm scaled - slowing productivity and increasing risk exposure due to lack of automation and auditability.
Why They Came to Us:
They needed a scalable solution to streamline financial modeling, reduce manual errors, and enhance audit trails - without compromising speed or analytical depth.
Since the firm was highly reliant on Excel workflows, it exposed inefficiencies that made data-driven work harder than it needed to be:
There is no built-in version control. Only manual file tracking with data risk.
Had complex, & time-consuming formula tracing across large spreadsheets
There’s no clear way to compare or visualize changes for duplicate versions
Comparing Excel versions manually affected the firm’s productivity.
Managing role-based access and feature restrictions was difficult
Manual license management slowing down user onboarding and renewals
Result: Excel workflows were inefficient, error-prone, and risky for high-stakes analysis.
Need: A smarter, automated way to manage Excel processes with version control, role-based access, and advanced comparison tools.
iFour developed an advanced Excel Add-in that simplifies, automates, and secures spreadsheet management at scale.
