About MSP Sheets

Focused Excel workbooks for the operational decisions behind managed IT services. One task, visible assumptions, and a working copy your team can understand.

Built around the work between systems

An MSP can have a service desk, monitoring platform, and billing system and still need a clear way to scope a customer handoff or compare a contract scenario. MSP Sheets is a workbook library for these bounded tasks. It is aimed at external managed IT service providers serving customers, rather than staffing vendor management or general employee administration.

The library is organized into six connected workflows: Clients, Service, Assets, Security, Projects, and Finance. Choose the operational question first; the categories help narrow it down.

A workbook is not another source of truth

Use a spreadsheet to structure a review, explain a calculation, or prepare a handoff. Keep authoritative customer records in your approved systems. A ticket summary does not establish SLA compliance, an asset list is not a monitoring tool, and a security checklist is not a certification.

For pricing and planning, identify the unit—user, device, site, hour, or contract—and the period before comparing totals. Separate illustrative figures from recorded results. A useful model makes exclusions and assumptions easy to find rather than hiding them behind a polished total.

Understand the file before using it

The individual workbook page is the place to check its scope, sheets, inputs, examples, and limitations. Availability means a file is actually published, not simply that a topic is planned. Category counts reflect published documents only.

Content and files are prepared with software assistance. An editorial credit is not a claim of professional certification, a personal endorsement, or manual review of every possible input. Check the stated behavior in your version of Excel and test a known example after editing formulas or references.

Keep the working copy under your control

Save an original, work on a copy, and use the minimum approved data needed for the task. Do not put credentials, recovery codes, confidential security findings, or unnecessary personal information into a workbook. Share a summary or internal reference when that is enough.

These resources support operational organization. They do not replace your customer agreement, security process, accounting policy, or professional advice for a specific decision.

About the authors

Tessa Whitlock

Tessa WhitlockClient & service operations

Client handoffs, service queues, and renewal preparation all depend on clear ownership. This area covers what to record at each handoff, how to distinguish a request from an agreed commitment, and which exceptions need a follow-up. The emphasis is on usable definitions, accountable next steps, and summaries that complement an MSP’s service desk rather than creating a competing customer record.

Nathan CalderwoodService economics & planning

Pricing a managed service means keeping units, periods, and exclusions visible. This area covers recurring revenue, delivery costs, project capacity, and the assumptions behind margin comparisons. Its approach separates a scenario from an actual result and distinguishes per-user, per-device, and per-site charges. It also sets out where a planning workbook stops: estimates do not replace contract terms, accounting records, or a customer-specific risk assessment.

Corrections start with a clear example

If a formula, explanation, or assumption needs attention, contact MSP Sheets with the page URL, affected sheet or cell, application version, and a fictional example. The form records the request in a private site inbox; it does not automatically send email or promise a response deadline.
