One workbook to rescue? Skip the call.
Pay for a $750 Spreadsheet Rescue up front and we start within two business days. Fixed price, defined outcome, QA tie-out included.
The grind that quietly eats your week
You don't need a six-month RPA project. You need one specific thing to stop being painful. We see the same triggers in nearly every finance and operations team.
A monthly report rebuilt by hand, every single cycle
The same exports, the same copy-paste, the same lookups. Hours that should be analysis instead go to reassembly.
A workbook that broke, or got too slow to trust
Formulas that error, links that snapped, a file that takes five minutes to open. You're not sure the number is even right anymore.
The person who owned the spreadsheet just left
Now nobody understands how it works, and the close depends on it. You need it documented, dependable, and not in one person's head.
Data living in three systems that don't talk
Every report means manual exports from each one, then stitching them together by hand and hoping they tie.
Pre-close crunch that swallows your evenings
A few manual steps stand between you and a clean close, and they cost you the same nights every month.
We don't sell Excel help. We sell judgment that AI can't replace.
In finance, the expensive failure mode is not slow. It is looks right but is quietly wrong. Generative AI is excellent at producing a spreadsheet that looks right. It cannot tell you the reconciliation doesn't tie, the accrual is backwards, or the number will mislead the CFO.
A CPA-trained finance veteran with 30 years in the field can. That judgment and accountability layer is exactly what survives the AI wave. We use the same AI everyone else has as a delivery accelerator, so you get senior work at a fair fixed price, faster than a traditional consultant, and you get the person who knows when the AI is wrong.
Pick the way in that fits
Most of this work has a definable outcome, so we lead with fixed-price packages. You know the price before we start. Every engagement begins with a free 15-minute triage call where we tell you straight which option fits.

What's a Spreadsheet Rescue versus an Automation Assessment? +
A Spreadsheet Rescue ($750 flat, 2 business days) fixes or rebuilds one workbook with a single defined outcome: it's broken, it's slow, or it's fragile and you need it dependable. When the job is bigger than one workbook (a whole recurring process you want automated end to end), we start with a flat $2,000 Automation Assessment that scopes the build, projects ROI, and is credited toward the resulting statement of work. There is one assessment for every build.
How do you price a fixed quote so fast? +
The free 15-minute triage call captures the artifact, the outcome, the data sources, and the cadence. That maps cleanly to one of three rungs, so you get a flat price within one business day. Fixed scope means fixed price. New asks become a new package or a change order, never silent scope creep.
Isn't this just something AI can do now? +
AI is great at producing a spreadsheet that looks right. It cannot tell you the reconciliation doesn't tie, the accrual is backwards, or the number will mislead the CFO. A CPA-trained finance veteran with 30 years in the field can. We use the same AI everyone else has to deliver faster, and we are the accountability layer that catches when the AI is wrong. In finance, the expensive failure is not slow. It is looks right but is quietly wrong.
What's included, and what isn't? +
Fixed price covers the defined scope, plus a QA tie-out against a known-good baseline and a short Loom walkthrough at handoff. Not included: ongoing maintenance after handoff (that's a separate retainer), net-new data sources discovered mid-build, or work requiring production system credentials we weren't scoped for. We state this plainly up front so there are no surprises.
How do I pay? +
Spreadsheet Rescue ($750) can be paid in full up front through the fast-lane checkout. The Automation Assessment is a flat $2,000, paid up front and credited toward your statement of work if you proceed with the build. Automation Sprint hours are billed in 15-minute increments against a prepaid 10-hour block.
