Sound Familiar?
If two or more apply, the root cause is usually fixable: bad table design, a corrupt file, or a report held together with copy-paste.
Why Businesses Choose Robert Terry
No agency layers. You talk through the problem with the same person who scopes, builds, and delivers the fix.
Problems I Solve

Pulling from multiple sources, reformatting, checking formulas, and distributing. The same manual process every period.
Automate itCorruption, slow queries, or multi-user conflicts. When you can't rely on your data, operations suffer.

Excel and Access Work for Finance and Operations Teams
Senior-level consulting for businesses that depend on Microsoft Excel and Access. You work with me directly, not through an agency.
I'm Robert Terry, a microsoft excel & access consultant based in Springville, Utah. For over 20 years, I've worked at the intersection of business logic and Microsoft technology, serving businesses nationwide.
My approach is straightforward: I find the manual steps that slow your team down and build systems that remove them.
When you hire me, you're not getting just a programmer. You're getting a business partner who understands how your operations work. Whether you're in Utah or anywhere in the United States, I work remotely to deliver the same high-quality Excel and Access consulting services.
Direct Principal Access
Every conversation is with Robert Terry. No account managers, no junior developers, no outsourcing. The consultant who understands your business is the same person writing your code.
Code Ownership
You own 100% of what I build. No licenses, no lock-in, no recurring fees. The systems I build are yours, period.
Transparent Pricing
After the free consultation, you get a written scope with timeline and fixed price. Advisory work is $90/hour; builds are quoted as a flat fee before any code is written.
Enterprise Security
All work happens in your IT environment. Your data never leaves your firewall. I'm ready to sign corporate NDAs right away.
Specialization Over Generalization
I'm not a creative designer. I'm not generalist IT support. I'm a specialist in the Microsoft Data Stack: Excel, Access, VBA, and SQL Server.
This focus means I understand the deep technical constraints and possibilities of these platforms. I know how to push Excel to its limits without breaking it. I know how to build Access databases that scale to hundreds of users. I know how to write VBA that runs reliably for years.
When your business depends on these tools, you need someone who's spent decades mastering them, not someone who can "also do Excel" among a dozen other technologies.
