Diagramming is an essential task for many accountants and
lawyers. Diagrams help us visualize, understand, and communicate
business transactions and tax plans to our clients and colleagues
alike. However, creating diagrams has typically been a
time-consuming process.
For years, Excel has been a go-to for visualizing numerical data
as bar charts and pie charts – which it does well. It has
also been used to create structure charts. However, Excel was never
designed to visualize typical business diagrams, proposed
changes to corporate structures or entity management, or complex
mergers and acquisitions, and other similar structure charts. As a
result, practitioners using Excel spend hours on a weekly
basis to create structure charts that are clear and
presentable, when they should just be spending minutes.
