Are you working as a temp, hired for basic Excel tasks–cleaning up messy spreadsheets, doing tedious, repetitive work no one wants to do? Imagine realizing that with a small adjustment, you could eliminate much of that inefficiency, not just for yourself, but for the entire department and the entire organisation.
Now, picture this: You demonstrate this small but impactful change to management–not just your direct manager, but the decision-makers above them. They’re astounded. Why? Because IT has always told them that real process improvements require million-pound budgets, years of development, and complex system implementations. Yet, here you are, proving otherwise with nothing more than Excel.
What happens next is simple. You’re already inside the company. You’re not breaking any IT governance rules. You’re just using Excel in a way that creates undeniable value. And from a corporate standpoint, there’s no red tape stopping them from hiring you directly for this purpose.
But here’s where it gets interesting. The pay benchmark they use to justify your new role isn’t based on a temp’s salary–it’s based on the highly paid consultants who failed to see what you just demonstrated. That consultant pay rate? Typically three times what an Excel temp earns.
The Excel world isn’t teaching this. No course on Excel features or shortcuts will get you there. This isn’t about having another certification on your CV–it’s about proving value in a way that shifts how management sees you. And it works.
Hiran knows because he’s done it. In four separate companies, Hiran turned short-term Excel contracts into long-term, high-value consulting roles, beginning with his entry into this lucrative space with his first client, with total earnings exceeding £1.4 million from an initial £6,500 temp engagement. In another case, the budget more than tripled before he even started work–just 15 minutes into his first meeting. WIRED magazine refers to Hiran’s now-famous ‘six-figure spreadsheets’ created by applying this one simple idea with Excel.
So yes, if you’re in this space, this opportunity is real. And it’s available to those who know how to recognize and seize it.
