Testimonials

”Invest for Excel has taken away a huge problem. It used to be a headache! Now we have a standardized process to do the impairment testing of more than 6500 stores. It’s a no brainer!Now the solution couldn’t be simpler and more responsive. It’s not overwhelming, I just love it, and it is Excel –based. I understand what is happening when it is used, and it is very comfortable to use.

We have to test the value of the assets (stores) every month. We had a custom built spreadsheet. Nobody knew the rules in the spreadsheet and we had no idea how to maintain the spreadsheet. The implementation of Invest for Excel took 1 week. The time spent on pro-forma valuation came down from 20 hours to 2 hours and now we can guarantee compliance.”
