Clear, practical data support
I help small businesses make sense of their data and systems without unnecessary complexity. That might be fixing spreadsheets that have grown beyond their limits, improving the way information flows between tools, or building simple, reliable solutions where off-the-shelf software falls short.
My focus is on practical outcomes rather than theory. The aim is always to give you something that is clear, maintainable, and actually useful day to day, whether that’s saving time, reducing errors, or giving you better visibility of how your business is performing.
Services
I provide clear, practical data support for small businesses and sole traders. The services below cover the most common data problems I’m asked to fix, from getting information into the right format to cleaning up spreadsheets and making Excel behave as it should.
Data transformation
Moving data into or out of Excel from other formats. This includes CSV files, PDFs, images, handwritten notes, and structured or semi-structured sources, where the information exists but is not yet usable.
Data cleansing
Cleaning and correcting existing spreadsheets that contain errors, inconsistencies, or formatting problems, including duplicates, incorrect values, broken dates, and unreliable totals.
Excel support, fixes and enhancements
Reliable help fixing formulas, repairing broken spreadsheets, and resolving odd Excel behaviour, as well as improving existing files with clearer summaries, pivot tables, and reporting.
Data profiling
A practical health check of your spreadsheet data, assessing its quality, consistency, and structure. Ideal if you want to understand your data before cleaning it or supplying it to another professional.
