There’s a story about a lighthouse.
Off the coast of Scotland, on a remote rock called Eilean Mòr, a lighthouse was manned by three men in 1900.
They were experienced. Resilient. The kind of crew who could ride out storms and isolation without blinking.
But one day, a ship passed by and noticed the light wasn’t on.
Odd, but not alarming.
When they finally docked and investigated, everything inside was perfectly in place.
Coats hung.
Meals uneaten.
The clock still ticking.
But the men? Gone.
Vanished. No logs. No messages. No goodbye.
And here’s the strange part: the lamp had been left ready. Trimmed. Cleaned.
Set to shine. But it never did.
Audit teams are a bit like that lighthouse crew.
Brilliant. Independent.
Consistently showing up, even in storms. Until one day, they don’t.
Not with a bang. Not with drama. Just… an empty desk.
A resignation email. A call that never gets returned.
You look at the system and everything seems fine. Files are still being delivered.
Reviews are still happening.
But the spark? Gone.
The truth is, your best people don’t leave because the job was hard.
They leave because the light they needed; better tools, better workflows, a sense that their time matters..never switched on.
The Audit Toolbar doesn’t just help teams work faster.
It tells them: we see you. We built this for you. You’re not alone in the fog.
Because no one should have to navigate Excel storms without a proper beacon.
Here’s to keeping your light on and your team close.
Until next time,
