Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some answers to help you hone in on the information you need. That's our style as an Access Developer. We make doing business with us an easy and enjoyable experience.
Often five hours per month; flexible seasonally.
General IT handles infrastructure well, but MS Access consultancy fills gaps around ACCDB schema design, VBA maintenance, split-database strategy, and migration timing. We work alongside your IT team — not replace them — providing Access-specific expertise most internal staff do not carry day to day. Many US businesses retain us for quarterly reviews while IT owns servers and backups.
AccessDeveloper consultancy typically runs at $90 per hour with flexible monthly blocks — often five to ten hours — versus $70,000+ annually for a full-time developer with benefits. Consultancy fits businesses that need senior guidance and periodic hands-on work, not forty hours of coding every week. We scale hours up during upgrades and down during stable periods.
Ask who owns your documentation, how knowledge transfers when advisors change, whether they have migrated similar databases in your industry, and if they will challenge bad rebuild proposals from other vendors. A credible MS Access consultancy answers honestly when SQL Server or Power Apps is the better path — not every problem needs a new ACCDB build.
