You can get a custom Excel template two ways. Customize one of my existing templates to your brand and your data for a flat $1,000, delivered in 5 business days — or commission a bespoke template designed from scratch, scoped as a consulting engagement with project minimums typically starting at $5,000.
Customize or commission
Most teams start by customizing an existing template. Choose a bespoke build when your data or workflow doesn't fit anything off the shelf.
Customize an existing template
Start from one of my ready-made templates and make it yours. What's included:
- Your colors, fonts, and logo applied throughout
- Your real numbers loaded into the model
- Layout adjusted to your reporting needs
- Delivered as a clean, ready-to-use workbook in 5 business days
Commission a bespoke build
A new template designed from a blank file, around your exact data and workflow. Scoped as a consulting engagement. What's included:
- A template structured around your specific data model
- Custom dashboard, report, and chart design from scratch
- A reusable, brand-consistent system you can update yourself
- Timeline and scope set during a short scoping conversation
When a custom template is worth it
Customization is the right call when one of the ready-made templates already does what you need and you just want it to look like it belongs to your company — your palette, your typeface, your logo, your actual figures in place of the sample data. It's a flat $1,000 and lands in 5 business days.
A bespoke build is for the cases an off-the-shelf file can't cover: an unusual data structure, a multi-report reporting system, or a workbook that has to match strict brand guidelines across an entire team. Because every one of these is different, a bespoke template is scoped as a consulting engagement rather than sold at a fixed price.
Not sure which fits? If you already like a template and only need it branded, start with customization. If you're describing something that doesn't exist yet, scope it as a build.

Custom template questions
Can I get a custom Excel template built for my brand and data?
Yes, two ways. You can have one of my existing templates customized to your brand and your data for a flat $1,000, delivered in 5 business days. Or you can commission a bespoke template designed from scratch, which is scoped as a consulting engagement with project minimums typically starting at $5,000.
What's the difference between customization and a bespoke build?
Customization starts from one of the ready-made templates and adapts it to your colors, fonts, logo, and numbers for a flat $1,000. A bespoke build starts from a blank file and designs a new template around your specific data, layout, and workflow — handled as consulting.
How much does a custom Excel template cost?
Customizing an existing template is a flat $1,000, delivered in 5 business days. A bespoke template designed from scratch is scoped as a consulting engagement, with project minimums typically starting at $5,000 depending on scope.
How long does a custom Excel template take?
A template customization is delivered in 5 business days. A bespoke build timeline is set during scoping, since it depends on the complexity of your data and the number of views and reports involved.
Do you have ready-made Excel templates I can just buy?
Yes — there's a library of ready-made Excel dashboards, charts, and report templates you can buy once and use immediately. If you then want one adapted to your brand and data, the flat $1,000 customization service handles that.
