United States · Miami · VBA & automation
The automation worth building here is the consolidation run: read every property or entity submission, validate it, flag what failed and produce the roll-up. The chasing stays human, but it stops being guesswork.

ShaktiA remote team of Excel and spreadsheet specialists. You work directly with the person building your file, from the first question to the final handover. More about us.
A typical job here
Budget 12–20 hours as a starting point. If what you send turns out larger, you hear about it during scoping rather than at the end.

Why Miami specifically
Clients for this are typically in Brickell, Doral, Wynwood and Coral Gables, across trade and logistics across Latin America, private real estate and construction, hospitality, import-export, and a growing cluster of finance and crypto firms. Multi-currency trade, property portfolios and hospitality reporting across borders.
For the wider picture of what we see in this market — the recurring problems, the source systems, how the time difference plays out — the Miami guide covers it properly rather than repeating it on every service page.
12–20 hours is typical here. You get a number in writing before we start.
Unlocked files, documentation, recorded handover.

Excel experts in MiamiScope
Two of the things this covers most often for Miami clients. The vba & automation page sets out the full scope and method.
A new macro written to a brief, for a process that currently happens by hand. We watch the process first — what people actually do differs from the documented procedure, and the difference is normally where the bugs live.
The multi-step monthly assembly reduced to one button, with a log of what it did and when. The most commonly requested Excel automation, and usually the one with the clearest payback.
Not if. Source file missing, column renamed, someone has the file open. Each case gets a defined behaviour, and the default is always to stop cleanly rather than half-finish.
Usually over a screen share. We time it too — if the task takes ten minutes a month, automating it may not be worth your money, and we would rather say that at this stage.

Questions
Answers for this service in this market, including the ones that might cost us the job.
Ask us something elseOnly with a minimal standard template — nine or ten fields they can fill in ten minutes. Automating the absorption of genuinely arbitrary formats is possible and almost never worth what it costs to maintain.
Yes, with one caveat worth knowing upfront: ActiveX controls and some Windows-only API calls do not exist on Mac. If the workbook has to run on both, we build it with form controls from the start rather than discovering the problem at handover.
Explicitly. Pick a rate source, record the rate and the date used in the file, decide whether you are translating at closing or average rate, and document it. Most of the multi-currency workbooks we review get the arithmetic right and the traceability wrong.
