Hire the Best Excel VBA Developers
in the United Kingdom

I am a UK-based Senior Accountant and part-owner of a CIMA-regulated practice based in Bristol, providing compliant, commercially focused accounting and tax services to a portfolio of ~120 clients. Our practice delivers a full-service offering, including bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, statutory accounts, and tax optimisation (including capital allowances and allowable expense planning). We are Xero Advisor Certified and have over a decade of hands-on experience supporting owner-managed businesses across a range of sectors. What differentiates my work is the combination of regulated accountancy with advanced financial modelling and automation expertise. Since 2005, I have specialised in building automated financial models, reporting systems, and process-driven solutions using Excel/VBA, SQL, Python, and Google Apps Script. This allows us to go beyond standard compliance work—helping clients improve reporting speed, reduce manual errors, and make better financial decisions. I also lead on higher-value engagements including: - R&D Tax Credit claims - SEIS/EIS fundraising support - Bespoke financial forecasting and modelling In 2009, I developed an ICAEW-accredited financial forecasting platform designed to rapidly build integrated financial models. This reflects my broader approach: combining technical capability with accounting expertise to deliver solutions that are both compliant and commercially effective. Alongside practice work, I continue to support clients with bespoke modelling and automation projects across sectors, including construction & property, healthcare, FMCG, and financial services. I maintain a consistently high client satisfaction record by focusing on practical delivery, responsiveness, and long-term usability, ensuring clients receive support that extends beyond year-end compliance. I aim to ensure every client receives 5-star treatment, from project conception through to post-delivery support.

I have over fifteen years of experience in Microsoft Office automation. I provide professional and reliable custom VBA/Excel/Word/Powerpoint solutions, specialising in spreadsheet automation, dashboards, forms, linking Excel - Word - Powerpoint (relaying data from one to the other) in order to create bespoke documents (reports, etc.) based on data transferred from the source application, custom ribbons/toolbars, and similar jobs. I enjoy producing professional looking, colourful, and aesthetically pleasing solutions. I am also well versed in Python, PHP, html, css, javascript and Java and I can produce high quality work in a short time.

I'm an Excel automation specialist with 6+ years of professional experience delivering tools that eliminate manual work — not just spreadsheets, but systems that fundamentally change how teams operate. As Programme Manager for a Boeing-accredited aerospace manufacturer, I've used advanced Excel, VBA macros, Power Query and Power Automate Desktop to solve real commercial problems: → Reduced a business-critical 8-hour weekly reporting process to under 30 minutes through end-to-end automation → Built a live warehouse management system in Excel + VBA from scratch during a ransomware attack — enabling a full warehouse team to track 300+ locations across multiple SKUs with zero downtime → Designed unified dynamic reporting templates replacing fragmented legacy systems across 84 active Boeing product lines What I work with: • VBA Macros & UserForms — written from scratch, not recorded • Power Query — multi-source connections, merge queries, data transformation • Dynamic arrays — FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE, SEQUENCE • Pivot Tables with slicers and dynamic dashboards • VLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH / SUMIFS (Microsoft 365) • Conditional formatting and data validation • Charts and data visualisation • Power Automate Desktop — scheduled workflows, file routing, report automation • Data cleaning and transformation at scale • Basic financial modelling — budget templates, operational trackers, forecast tools I work cleanly. Files are well-structured, logic is commented, and anything automated comes with documentation so you can run it yourself — no dependency on me to operate your own tools. If you have a process that's eating hours, data that's a mess, or a report that should build itself — let's talk.
