About this gig

Spreadsheet gone wrong, or drowning in numbers you can't see the shape of? I'll fix it and turn it into a dashboard that tells you what's going on at a glance.


I spent a career as a quantity surveyor turning messy figures into clear decisions. Now I do the same for you: fix broken formulas and clean muddled data fast, then (if you want) build a dashboard showing your sales, costs, cash flow, projects or KPIs - in Excel, Google Sheets or Power BI, whichever suits you. Power BI builds are fully interactive: click any chart and the whole page refilters - delivered as a report file that opens in Microsoft's free Power BI Desktop.


You get a working tool, a short plain-English guide, and totals that don't fall over when you add a row. No jargon, no half-finished mess - just something you'll actually keep using.


Whether it's a quick rescue of one broken sheet or a full dashboard build, tell me what you need and I'll sort it. Happy to work from a messy existing file, a rough idea, or a blank page.

Hi, I’m Iain - a retired British quantity surveyor (RICS member, 2009–2022) with 30 years on the contractor’s side of construction, mostly overseas: tenders, valuations, variations and final accounts. I do two things. First, contractor-side QS support - comparing subcontractor quotes, preparing payment applications, pricing variations and final accounts, plus the spreadsheets behind them. Second, taking the grind out of your admin with automation and dashboards that do the repetitive work. Your figures stay yours - I bring the structure and judgement. Tell me what you need and I’ll build it.
