Hiring questions
Can I hire Big Excel Energy to redesign my company's Excel dashboards?
Yes. Josh takes on Excel dashboard design and redesign work for brands and analytics teams — from a single executive dashboard to a full reporting system. Consulting project minimums typically start at $5,000; lighter options include a $1,000 async dashboard review and $1,000 template customization.
Can Excel dashboards look like Power BI or Tableau?

What does an Excel dashboard redesign cost?
A focused template customization is a flat $1,000. An async dashboard or report review is $1,000. Full consulting engagements typically start at a $5,000 project minimum, depending on scope.
Can you match our brand guidelines?
Yes — applying your colors, fonts, and logo to build a consistent, branded reporting system is core to the work. Customizing a single template is a flat $1,000; a brand-wide system is handled as consulting.
