What I do

Spreadsheet-heavy processes

I help organisations use AI and cloud systems to reduce manual work, improve data quality, and support better operational decisions — without changing the tools teams already rely on.

My work focuses on practical improvements that fit existing ways of working, rather than large system replacements or theoretical AI projects.

My work is best suited to organisations that want practical improvements, rather than large ERP-style system replacements.

Example outcomes include reducing reporting time from days to hours, or replacing multiple disconnected spreadsheets with a single shared system.

Common problems I work on

I’m typically brought in when teams are dealing with:

  • Spreadsheet-heavy processes that are hard to maintain or scale

  • Manual reporting that takes time and introduces errors

  • Information spread across emails, files, and shared drives

  • Inconsistent data leading to rework and decision delays

  • Processes that rely heavily on individual knowledge

How I typically help

Turning messy spreadsheets into shared systems

I help teams turn messy Excel files into clean, cloud-based spreadsheets that everyone can use at the same time — on desktop or mobile — without version confusion or duplicate copies.

This means:

  • One shared source of truth

  • No emailing files back and forth

  • Fewer mistakes caused by outdated versions

Reducing duplication and data errors

I restructure data so information is entered once, in the right place, and reused everywhere else.

This reduces:

  • Duplicate entries

  • Inconsistent figures

  • Manual re-typing errors

And makes reporting more reliable.

Using forms and databases instead of spreadsheets

Where spreadsheets are being used like databases, I introduce structured data storage with simple forms for data entry and clear reports for viewing results.

Teams get:

  • Easier data entry

  • Cleaner data

  • Faster reporting

Without making systems complicated.

Automating repetitive work

I automate repetitive tasks such as:

  • Generating reports

  • Updating summaries

  • Checking data consistency

So teams spend less time maintaining spreadsheets and more time using the information.

(Behind the scenes this may use Google Apps Script, VBA, or Office Scripts — but users don’t need to know that.)

How this usually looks in organisations

Depending on the situation, I help by:

  • Automating workflows using Google Workspace or Office 365

  • Designing cloud-based systems for reporting, analysis, and operational workflows

  • Structuring information and data so it can be searched, reviewed, validated, and reused

  • Applying practical AI to summarise, check, and surface information

In many cases, this also includes:

  • Helping teams get more value from the tools they already use (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365)

  • Showing practical ways to reduce manual work using built-in features and automation

  • Introducing AI features in a controlled way to support everyday tasks such as reviewing information or preparing summaries

The emphasis is always on clarity, reliability, and ease of use.

Who this is most relevant for

My work is particularly relevant for:

  • Small and mid-sized organisations

  • Construction, engineering, and operational teams

  • Finance and management teams dealing with complex information

  • Directors and senior stakeholders looking to reduce operational friction

Approach

I work directly with teams and remain closely involved throughout each engagement, from initial discussion through to delivery.

The aim is not to add complexity, but to simplify how information flows through the organisation.

If this sounds relevant, I’m happy to have an initial conversation to understand your situation and see if I can help.
