A ten-minute audit catches the errors that survive into the report your CFO signs. Send us the workbook your leadership team reads, and we will run the same seven mechanical checks every audit includes - and tell you which ones fail, in writing, within one working day. No discovery retainer, no follow-up sales call unless you ask for one.

The seven checks
What we run on every workbook.
The same seven mechanical checks every time. No judgement calls, no scope creep - just a written list of which numbers you should stop trusting and why.
- 01
No hard-coded totals
Every total should be =SUM or =SUBTOTAL, not a typed number
- 02
No hidden rows in SUM ranges
Filter to see what SUM is actually including
- 03
Headline traces to source
F2 → formula bar → Trace Precedents - does the chain end at the source data?
- 04
No hard-coded assumptions
Tax rate, FX rate, fiscal year start should be named cells on an Assumptions tab
- 05
Correct data types
Dates stored as dates, amounts stored as numbers, codes stored as text
- 06
Reconciled to source
Sub-totals match the GL or the source system, not just each other
- 07
Fresh refresh timestamp
A =NOW() cell at the top of the dashboard, in big text
What you receive
A one-page written reply - pass/fail, the one fix, no follow-up.
A “ten-minute audit” leaves room for interpretation. The deliverable is concrete - seven pass-or-fail lines, a one-paragraph summary on the fix we would make first, all in a written reply within one working day. Below is the shape of the deliverable, using a sample workbook.
| # | Check | Result | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | No hard-coded totals | PASS | 12 totals on Summary tab are all =SUM formulas. |
| 02 | No hidden rows in SUM ranges | FAIL | Revenue tab SUM 2026 includes 4 hidden rows from the prior-quarter filter. |
| 03 | Headline traces to source | PASS | Headline traces back to the GL export on the Inputs tab. |
| 04 | No hard-coded assumptions | FAIL | GST 1.18% and commission 5% typed directly into formulas on lines 32 and 47. |
| 05 | Correct data types | WARN | 2,400 amount cells stored as text - undercounted by USD 38K until fixed. |
| 06 | Reconciled to source | PASS | Summary tab ties to the source export within ₹2 rounding. |
| 07 | Fresh refresh timestamp | FAIL | No =NOW() on the dashboard. Refresh timestamp is the email subject line. |
Above is the shape - your actual report names your workbook, your tabs and your cell references. No PDF to download; the reply is plain text in WhatsApp or email.
In writing
Four guarantees on the free audit.
What every free audit comes with - in writing, before any file is exchanged.
Reply within one working day
In writing, not on a sales call. Seven pass-or-fail lines and the one fix we would make first.
All seven checks, on your actual workbook
Not a sample, not a guess, not a script. I open your file myself and run the same seven mechanical checks used in every paid build.
No follow-up sales call
Unless you ask for one. The written reply is the entire engagement unless you decide to take it further.
Your workbook is not shared
With anyone, ever. It is used only for the audit, then deleted. A mutual NDA can be signed before you send it.
