Your team shouldn't spend hours doing what a formula can do in seconds.
I build custom Excel, Word, and PDF automations for CPA firms and small businesses —
the same report, reconciliation, or file conversion your team redoes every week, turned into one click.
Confidentiality by default
Built by a working fund accountant
LA-based, remote-friendly
Your data never leaves your controlWe build and test on templates or sanitized sample files — never your live, real data.
How It Works
A straightforward process, start to finish
01
Discovery Call
A free 20-30 minute call to understand your current process and where the time actually goes.
02
Scoped Proposal
You get a clear, written scope and quote before any work begins — no surprises, no hourly clock.
03
Build & Review
You don't need to hand over real or live files to get started — I build and test on templates or sanitized sample data, with checkpoints along the way so you can review progress.
04
Handoff & Training
You get the finished tool, a short walkthrough, and documentation — yours to keep and run for free, forever. No subscription, no per-use fees.
Sample Projects
Illustrative examples of the kind of work I build
These are representative examples to show scope and approach — not results from a specific client engagement.
Illustrative exampleExcel · VBA
Month-End Close Workbook
A CPA firm's staff manually copied numbers from 6 client sub-ledgers into a master close file every month. The rebuilt workbook pulls each source automatically, applies standard adjusting entries, and highlights any account that doesn't tie to prior month within a set tolerance.
A multi-day manual roll-up becomes a same-day review.
Illustrative exampleExcel · Python
Cash Reconciliation Tool
A small business matched a bank statement export against internal records by eye, line by line. The tool auto-matches on amount, date window, and reference text, then produces a short exceptions list of only what still needs a human look.
Hundreds of lines matched automatically; only true exceptions need review.
Illustrative exampleExcel · Office Scripts
Invoice & AR Tracker
Overdue client invoices were tracked in someone's memory and a scattered inbox. The new tracker ages every open invoice automatically and generates a ready-to-send follow-up list every Monday morning.
Nothing falls through the cracks — the sheet does the chasing.
Illustrative exampleWord · PDF · Python
Mail-Merge / PDF Renamer
Engagement letters were built one at a time in Word, printed to PDF, and renamed by hand for 80+ clients each season. The new script merges the template against a client list and outputs correctly-named, ready-to-send PDFs in one run.
A week of tedious admin work becomes a single click.
Frequently Asked Questions
Good to know before reaching out
Every project is scoped individually after a free consultation, and you'll always get a fixed quote in writing before any work starts — reach out for a custom quote based on what you need.
It depends on scope, but most single-workflow automations (a close workbook, a reconciliation tool, a mail-merge script) are delivered in 1-3 weeks after the proposal is approved.
Usually not directly — most projects are built and tested against sanitized sample or historical files, so you control exactly what's shared and when.
A confidentiality agreement can be signed before any files are shared, and your data is never reused, stored beyond project needs, or shared with anyone else.
Mainly Excel (formulas, VBA, Office Scripts), Word, and PDF generation, often glued together with Python or AI-assisted scripting when it's the better tool for the job. No new software for your team to learn unless you want one.
Yes — every project includes a short training walkthrough and a post-delivery support window, and ongoing support or future enhancements can be arranged after that.
