BRING THOSE WHO WIN TO THE FIGHT.

PRESIDENT

NATHANIEL PALMER

ABOUT

For over a decade, CEOs and Operations leaders have called me in to solve challenges when their teams and other consultants couldn’t deliver. I rank among the top 1% of Excel engineers, with extensive experience leading projects and operations at scale. My reputation rests on a "Plain and True" ethic: the tools and solutions I develop are clean, professional, and cut straight to the point so that users of any level can quickly assess and perform with a high level of clarity and speed.

Years of experience have shown me that technical fixes alone rarely resolve the root issues teams encounter—they’re just the starting point. My work goes beyond quick solutions, focusing on adaptive change that endures. I use technical tools, like my top-tier Excel systems, as the "magic sauce" to unlock clarity, exposing the underlying obstacles—whether it’s flawed processes, misaligned priorities, or team dynamics. From there, I guide clients to cut through those barriers, building lasting improvements that stick. My main focus is on clearing those obstacles, delivering not just a fix but a foundation for sustained success.

When you need results that others can’t deliver, I’m the partner you call. NC Palmer & Co brings elite Excel engineering, proven project leadership, and a relentless focus on adaptive solutions to your toughest challenges. Based near Nashville, Tennessee, I offer hands-on, boots-on-the-ground support: whether it’s a quick technical win or a transformative overhaul. Let’s cut through the noise together and build something that lasts. Drop me a line, and let’s make it happen.

Over our careers, here are some of the companies we have worked with:

PORTFOLIO

NC Palmer & Co delivers expert project support, management, and Excel engineering—driving organizational success through precision and innovation. While our Excel resources are just one facet of our work, they offer a tangible showcase of our signature design philosophy in action.

 

Below are some free Excel tools that demonstrate our hallmark design principles: sharp, scannable visuals that deliver clarity in seconds; rugged architecture that withstands user mistakes; and lean, high-performance engineering—crafted to optimize speed and preserve system efficiency.

Too many Excel designers default to VBA, sidestepping native functions they haven’t mastered. This produces bloated, brittle tools—slow to process, prone to errors, and incompatible across platforms. Security risks compound the issue, triggering corporate bans on VBA-enabled files. At NC Palmer & Co, we engineer smarter. These portfolio tools are VBA-free, leveraging Excel’s inherent strengths for unmatched compatibility, security, and speed. While we can deploy VBA expertise when warranted, these solutions demonstrate that true innovation needs no crutches. 

The examples below were chosen for their fun, approachable nature rather than narrow industry focus, making them engaging and practical for visitors to experiment with and apply.
