Background

Our finance team was struggling with the manual process of consolidating financials from various sources. It was a time-consuming and error-prone task that required a lot of manual effort. We needed a solution that could automate this process and make it more efficient.

Problem

The manual process of consolidating financials was taking up a lot of time for our finance team. It was also prone to errors, which could have serious consequences for the company's financial health. We needed a way to automate this process and make it more accurate and efficient.

Solution

We decided to build an automation tool in Excel that would consolidate financials from various sources into one place. The tool would automatically pull data from different spreadsheets, perform calculations, and generate reports in real-time. We worked closely with the finance team to understand their requirements and designed the tool accordingly.

The automation tool we built had several features such as:

Data validation checks to ensure accuracy
Automated data import from various sources
Real-time reporting capabilities
User-friendly interface for easy navigation
