Economists believe the prevalence of the division of labor is closely associated with the growth of total global output. It’s not a new idea. This quotation is from the 4th century BCE:
Of necessity, he who pursues a very specialised task will do it best.
– Xenophon in Cyropedia
We were pondering on this idea in an attempt to convey the value of our customized spreadsheets.
Suppose your time is worth $50 per hour ($100,000/year fully loaded cost and 2,000 hours/year). How much does it cost you to build a spreadsheet model compared to buying one that is customized to fit your needs? If it would take you two eight-hour days, that’s $800. Our custom spreadsheet for, say, $50 saves you $750. Furthermore our custom spreadsheets have been carefully laid out, have been throughly tested, include helpful Excel comments, and provide readable symbolic formulas. They come with a Quick Start Guide to explain the model to you. If you want more features added, you can tweak the spreadsheet easily. Or you can let us do it, using the highly structured spreadsheet authoring environment we use to build each of our customized spreadsheets.
Check out our complete catalog of custom spreadsheets today and free up some time for the things you do best.
