Testimonials

“We outsourced a recent project to Christopher and the results were tremendous. This was a program we initially developed in-house however, its functionality was becoming outdated, and the overall “look and feel” needed to be improved. This product is distributed in over 80 countries and so we are especially sensitive to it being both robust in the application, but simple in its usability. We had tried this route before with other so called “experts” but none of them could deliver the product we wanted. Christopher took the time to really understand our goals along with the user’s needs, and he worked tirelessly to get it perfect. He has great attention to detail, a sense of urgency, and very reasonable rates. He delivered the program on time and on budget – how refreshing! We are definitely going to be using his services on all of our upcoming projects and we can recommend him with the utmost of confidence.”

I found Christopher through a web search, desperate to find help on a complicated Excel project that a client needed ASAP. Christopher responded to our needs right away and we found his work excellent and timely. He continues to be a pleasure to work with, having both a professional and pleasant demeanor. Christopher really came through for us and I cannot recommend his services more.

I worked closely with Christopher during my tenure at Kaiser. We worked together on multiple projects using Access, Excel and SQL. I was particularly impressed with his technical knowledge, and his ability to integrate Access and Excel using VBA. I would work with Christopher again without reservation, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs Access or Excel project work done." August 4, 2008

Christopher Fennel has done top-notch Excel-based programming for our business in three separate projects in 2007.  While I expected a strong programming orientation (which he has), I was very impressed with his excellent communication skills.  He is a great listener who is very sensitive to the capabilities and needs of all user levels (front-line users and administrators).  He presented various options to accomplish the task, with consideration to future enhancements (this was critical as our project was evolving).  Christopher's knowledge of the Equities markets helped tremendously in shortening the learning curve for developing our Portfolio analysis tools.  He frequently made himself available to discuss the project after hours at our request, provided realistic and reasonable quotes, and met his commitments every time!  He also helped us to diagnose and resolve a hardware bottleneck that avoided a significant coding re-write, savings us thousands of dollars.  I trust Christopher, and he is my first choice for future Excel, Access and SQL project needs .

Remarkable effort and excellent assistance.

We feel so fortunate to have made contact with Christopher when we were looking for technical assistance for development of a hydraulic modeling spreadsheet. Christopher dove into the project and became a critical member of our design team , meeting every milestone we set for him on the fast-track schedule. He made himself readily available to provide technical support and was efficient with deliverables, often providing revisions within a day or two of receiving a task list. With his help and support we were able to add a significant amount of automation to the complex spreadsheet with change event macros to make the modeling tool more intuitive and user friendly.

I am very happy with the work Christopher Fennell of Central Data Financial Systems did for me. He developed a very custom application that helps me manage investments across multiple currencies while dealing with certain unique and complex corporate and tax reporting requirements. He did not just give me an off the shelf product but rather took the time to listen carefully to my needs and deliver exactly what I needed. I dealt with Christopher through multiple e-mails and telephone calls and I can clearly say that he is the best programmer I have ever worked with. Programmers are not know for their communication skills but Christopher is different. Another thing that sets Christopher apart from other application developers is that he prices his work very competitively and lives within his budget quote. I highly recommend Christopher.

We used Christopher Fennel to combine a couple excel spreadsheets into a workbook for our daily logs. The product he delivered to us after fully understanding our prerequisites was FanTasTic! I appreciate his late night dedication, expertise and customer service. Not only did we receive a great product - I have found a vendor to assist me in the future with Excel, Access and VBA requirements .  
Thanks Christopher!!!

I had Christopher work on an Excel/Access project that required knowledge far beyond my own skill set.  More specifically, Christopher worked on a project that comprised of several programs (Excel, Access, Lawson/Oracle), and centered on budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.  
He was able to accomplish what I needed by using his expertise in VBA/Excel/Access.  The end product only requires me to use Excel, and not even at an advanced level.  While the 'system' he built uses Access to extract and to manipulate data from Lawson, which sits on an Oracle database, I do not even have to open Access, it is fully automated, as is most of the Excel process.

The program he set up has been in use for 2 years and is still functioning perfectly.  He is a great guy to work with and I highly recommend him ."

Even though I have experience with MS Access, I needed the extra expertise in VBA Programming to complete a significant project for a highly visible department in United States Postal Service Headquarters.

Christopher was very instrumental in laying the foundation and assisting in the accomplishment and the necessary layout and fine-tuning of the database.

Without in apprehension, I will utilize the services of Central Data Financial Systems (ExcelAndAccess.Com).

Dear Christopher T.,
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.

Details of the Recommendation: "I hired Christopher at Kaiser to automate the monthly reporting process. He accomplished this task quicker than I expected and he has the most advance Access and Excel skills I’ve ever seen. His skills go way beyond pivot tables and linking of tables.

Since we have both left Kaiser I’ve continued to keep in touch with Christopher and he has continued to improve his skills and I have discussed with him his most recent project that was to develop an internally customized budgeting system using Excel and Access for a company"

 "Your analysis and MS Access work is spot-on our needs and direction."

“I found GetExcelHelp.com by googling for help for my Excel file.  So, I had no idea what to expect when I connected with them. To my great delight, their analyst James Ficarra was very responsive, knowledgeable and professional. Moreover, he is quick, at least he was in ferreting out the problem with my file. I am keeping him and GetExcelHelp.com on file for any future problems I may experience. And when needed, I’ll go to them to help me streamline files that I may have made convoluted and unnecessarily slow.”

Carlen Maddux, a new customer 

The level of service, professionalism, and turn around time was totally AWESOME.  My day that was literally plumeting down hill and Ruel at ExcelAndAccess.Com turned it around fast in a matter of hours and reasonable cost to boot!!.  You made me the hero today and for that I am grateful.  Will definitely use your services again in the future and recommend you highly. 
 
Again, many thanks.

p.s.
Lol now I can take all this nervous energy, run around the building and get some work done LOL.

Christopher,

First, I want to say how impressed I am with the responses I’ve received from your company. It’s very satisfying!

Ruel has informed me that accessing Outlook from Excel will create ...........

Honestly, I have communicated with other gurus in a couple of different forums about my project and no one including Ron DeBruin’s site has mentioned this issue. I believe Ruel’s is telling me the truth and respect his character and straight forwardness before he begins a project. Again, it’s a testament to the type of company you are running.

Christopher,
 
I have obligated to yet another company project concerning Excel. Do you think your firm could assist me again? Ruel definitely does exceptional work and I compliment his mannerism as well.
 
Thank you,
