The pattern is almost always the same. Someone built a spreadsheet that worked for the business at the time. Then the business grew, the data got more complex, and the spreadsheet was patched until nobody fully understood it.
Automation removes the manual steps. Instead of someone opening files, copying data, running formulas and reformatting the output, the workbook does it. The result is there when it is needed, and it is the same every time.
We use Power Query, VBA and occasionally Python, depending on what the job needs. The right tool for a weekly report is different from the right tool for a multi-source pipeline, and most projects use a combination.
Reports that compile themselves from several source files, apply your formatting and produce the final output without anyone touching it.
Raw exports from your systems turned into clean, structured data automatically. No more reformatting and no more copying between sheets.
Compare two datasets, flag the differences and produce a reconciliation report in seconds rather than hours.
Excel dashboards that refresh when new data lands. No manual pivot table updates and no stale numbers.
Reports that generate and email themselves to the right people on the right day, without anyone having to remember to run them.
Data from Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, your CRM or ERP pulled straight into Excel, removing the re-keying and the errors that come with it.
Automating a single recurring report is typically between £300 and £1,000. A larger piece covering several linked processes usually runs £1,000 to £2,500.
The price is fixed in writing before we start. If we underestimate the work, that is our cost to carry rather than yours.
For a figure without a call, the build estimator itemises one in two minutes.
Nothing is paid up front. You watch the finished thing work with your own data, and only then do you pay. No deposit and no retainer. How the process works →
Automating a single recurring report is typically between £300 and £1,000. A larger piece covering several linked processes usually runs £1,000 to £2,500. The main driver is how consistent the source data is, because cleaning inconsistent inputs takes longer than writing the automation itself.
Most projects are delivered in 3 to 5 working days. Single-process automations can be faster, and builds with several data sources take a little longer. The timeline is in the fixed-price quote.
Yes. We work with your existing files wherever possible so your team does not have to change how they work. If anything needs restructuring, we tell you up front and explain why.
That depends on how it is built. Power Query handles a changing data structure far better than formulas, which is why we use it where the source is likely to move. We also document what the automation expects, so a change that would break it is obvious rather than silent.
For importing, cleaning and reshaping data on a schedule, Power Query is almost always the better choice. It does not break when the source structure changes and it does not need macros enabled. VBA still has a place for interface work and for automating actions inside Excel itself.
Excel 2016 and above, including all Microsoft 365 plans. We confirm compatibility on the call.
You own the file and the documentation, so any competent developer can pick it up. We quote changes separately rather than selling a retainer, and small adjustments are often quick enough that we do not charge for them.
Yes. All work is delivered remotely, and we work with businesses across the UK. Most of our clients have never met us in person.
Before you call, the free spreadsheet audit will tell you what is wrong with the file you have. Then show us the process that eats your team's time and we will tell you what automating it would cost.
