Automating the boring bits of finance work
I’m Karl. I work in finance and I’m building my automation skills one real project at a time. Here I share the flows and Excel tools I make, what they fixed, and the numbers behind them.
Featured project
From 8.5 hours to 1 hour a week
A weekly payroll review ran on emails, chasers and a meeting for everyone. I rebuilt it as seven connected Power Automate flows. Now the routine requests and reminders run themselves, and the meeting only covers the departments with a real problem.
