"When a client needed some sophisticated Excel programmes written I knew Farzad was the man to help us. The routines Farzad created were both effective and efficient, saving the owner of the business the best part of a day every month, as well as allowing us to very quickly create a database of all the related transactions for the previous 9 months (a massive task if we'd tried to do it manually). I would highly recommend Farzad's skills to anyone who does time-consuming tasks through spread-sheets - I know he will automate them to take a fraction of the time it currently takes you now and probably more accurately too."

I highly recommend this Package to any actor."
