A dashboard is only useful if leadership opens it on Monday morning and trusts the numbers. Most Excel dashboards fail one of those two tests - either nobody opens them, or the numbers do not survive cross-checking. Both failures trace to the same cause: the dashboard was built around what the analyst wanted to build, not around the decisions the leadership team actually makes.
For a real-estate asset manager I built a property-level P&L and rent-roll dashboard that consolidates the whole portfolio into one refreshable view - the asset manager sees the portfolio, the property accountant still has audit-friendly detail. See how the real-estate work is scoped.
For a four-entity services group I built a consolidated P&L dashboard that took month-end close from four days to six hours - the CFO reads the numbers without a second pair of eyes. See the engagement.
Dashboards are built around the decisions your team actually makes. KPIs front and centre, drill paths into the source, validation checks that fail loudly when something drifts.
What I do
How a dashboard engagement runs.
Executive KPIs on one screen
Revenue, margin, orders, DSO, OTIF - the four numbers your Monday morning stand-up opens with, refreshed in one click.
Real-estate portfolio dashboards
Property-level P&L, rent rolls, lease expirations, tenant arrears across the whole portfolio in one refreshable view.
Drill-down that works
Click a number, see the transactions behind it. Click the transaction, see the source line. Slicers by region, period and entity without rebuilding the dashboard.
Validation that catches source drift
Source data drifts. Validation checks in the pipeline fail loudly and notify the owner before a wrong number reaches the board.
Free Self-Serve Excel Tools
Interactive in-browser calculators and diagnostics. No sign-up, no email required.
Workbook Compare
Drop two versions of a file and see every changed cell and formula, inserted rows, and formulas someone typed over.
Workbook Map
See how your sheets feed each other as a diagram, with links to other files, hidden feeders and circular links flagged.
Formula Explainer
Paste any formula and read it in plain English, step by step in the order Excel calculates it.

- Step 02
Architect & build

Hand over

Frequently asked
Before you hire an Excel dashboard freelancer.
What data sources can you connect to my Excel dashboard?
I connect Excel dashboards to ERP exports (Tally, SAP, Zoho, NetSuite, QuickBooks), CRM exports, SQL databases via ODBC, REST APIs via Power Query, Google Sheets, and any CSV or flat-file source. All connections are documented in the spec.
Can you build dashboards that non-finance teams use?
Yes - sales-ops, plant, retail, logistics and healthcare admin dashboards all use the same underlying patterns. The KPIs, drill paths and slicers are tuned to your team's actual decisions. Every dashboard ships with a checks tab so the next person knows what good output looks like.
