A VBA consultant is a special type of web developer that specializes in the Microsoft Office suite. For about a decade, VBA was the most widely used programming language for Microsoft Office. It allows developers to write code that will automate tasks and workflows in Microsoft applications such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
VBA enables Finance and M&A teams to automate complex calculations, customized to their workflow.
What can our VBA consultants do for you?
A VBA consultant is not like a web developer, who simply oversees a website’s coding from the design to the execution. A VBA consultant is a specialist that specializes in Microsoft Office applications and write code that can automate any Microsoft Office task.
There are two distinct types of VBA code: object-oriented and procedural. Object-oriented code is used for customizing an application, whereas procedural code is used for automated actions for an application. The code that is written can be used to manipulate other Microsoft Office applications or work through and automate a workflow.
A VBA consultant can also be called upon simply to “fix” a broken script and improve an existing one for a smoother workflow.
The skill level for these kinds of developers is usually based on years of experience in the Microsoft Office suite and their portfolio of past work in their field.
There are consultants that can handle a variety of technologies and that specialize in various Microsoft applications, like Word, Excel, Outlook, Project and others.
