Automating Microsoft Excel & Word

We are an innovation consultancy currently working on a project for a major UK financial institution. We need to automate a process, moving some paper forms to electronic versions and automating the way they are filled in. This will involve taking some data from Excel and injecting it into a series of Word documents based on a set of rules. We would like to get a prototype tool do this this up and running ASAP, so we can test and iterate. Please get in touch if you are interested and we can discuss things further. Of course I don't expect a quote from the brief outline above. Skills: deep knowledge of automating Microsoft Word and Excel using Visual Basic. VBA skills alone are not sufficient. Location: We are based in Farringdon, London. Ideally you will be able to come into our office, but we will consider working with someone anywhere in the world. Schedule: Start ASAP, early May at the latest. Length of project to be discussed, but we'll likely want to contract you for a few days at first and then commit further after that. Budget: to be agreed, but we expect to match or beat what other companies pay for similar work.
