The Cadence Kit

The templates you keep rebuilding, built properly once.

Forty-one Excel, PowerPoint and Word templates for running a business: the reviews, the budgets, the trackers and the packs. Every one ships twice — a worked example with a complete business filled in, and a blank copy for your own numbers.

Every figure reconciles

The worked examples describe one fictional business at one moment in time. A number that leaves one file arrives in the next unchanged, because a build step checks that it does.

It opens at work

No macros, no add-ins, no external links and nothing to install — which is what corporate security policies actually block.

Guidance you can delete

Instructions live on their own tabs and nothing reads from them, so the file you circulate has no instructions in it.

Bundles

These were built to hand figures to each other. Each bundle ships a README naming every join — which number leaves one file and which cell it arrives in.
