Vaco Los Angeles, LLC Announces Partnership with XSzil Consulting

In today's economic climate many companies are searching for innovative ways to streamline the workload. VACO and XSzil Consulting have partnered to provide training and explore new ways to help clients gain productivity and save money.

"Clients who are looking to heighten the skill sets of their team call on us. We offer a unique approach to Excel training with Szilvia Juhasz of XSzil Consulting," Frances Moreno, managing partner of Vaco Los Angeles, a firm offering senior consultants for accounting, tax, audit, finance and technology, said. "Companies need to streamline and gain efficiencies from their employees, now more than ever."

Our training sessions and seminars spread the word about the power of Microsoft’s Excel, to enhance productivity while minimizing risk exposure. “I found that little pockets of time, tenths of seconds, added up to a huge amount of time over a year." Ms. Juhasz’ numbers turned out to be real money. She found by utilizing Excel shortcuts, one executive could eliminate 400 hours worth of keystrokes per year on his team, saving up to $16,000 a year for an executive who makes $80,000.

Since she began offering her services through Vaco, corporate clients like: Honda, Interwoven, Occidental Petroleum, Farmers Insurance; have come to her seminars and are enthusiastic about their increased efficiency. While her primary goal was to maximize productivity with Excel, a secondary goal, that of mitigating risk through best practices, emerged. Companies benefit as employees are more efficient and productive, and making fewer mistakes.

“Managers truly appreciate knowing that a reduced error rate in spreadsheets means reduced risk exposure,” Ms. Juhasz said.

“With the global marketplace entering an era of heightened regulatory scrutiny, companies will continue to look for ways to streamline their processes and to avoid errors,” Moreno said. “Finance Departments considered to be best-in-class regularly invest in the training of their team members. If Managers and Staff are provided with the resources they need, they’ll respond ten-fold. And that’s productivity - a direct impact to the bottom line.”
