About Stephen

I help finance departments transition from manual spreadsheets to automated, live self-service dashboards


With over 15 years of finance experience, specialising in financial reporting automation and team leadership. I enjoy using SQL, Excel, and visualization tools to simplify and automate reporting, and I am highly experienced in converting raw data into measurable metrics and interactive visualisation


I am a proactive problem solver with a background in managing teams within financial processing departments. I enjoy the challenge of technical innovation and have successfully delivered many custom VBA and SQL solutions to streamline complex business processes and provide new insights

My core technical skills are:
  • Data | SQL, Visual Studio Code, SQL Server Management Studio
  • Visualization | Tableau, Power BI, Advanced Excel (Power Query/Pivot, VBA)
  • Automation | Excel VBA, SQL to Excel integration, Tableau Data Source publication

In my spare time I like to explore my interest in coding through game development. I have built several games using Excel VBA and enjoy experimenting with GameMaker in my spare time. I'm a fan of 90s PC gaming, which originally sparked my interest in how software and databases work

I've played football for years and still play 5-a-side weekly with friends and former teammates

Most of my weekend time is spent with my young family, where we enjoy getting outdoors and exploring together

    May 2021 - August 2024 (3 years and 3 months)
    Sheffield, United Kingdom
    Reporting Automation
    I used SQL and Visual Studio Code to modernise our monthly reporting. I built direct data links that pull information straight into Excel, which removed the need for manual exports

    Insight Development
    I used SQL and our complex data sources to develop new, meaningful metrics for the business. A key project was creating a way to accurately measure our pricing and discount levels, which gave visibility of our potential vs realised margins

    Interactive Visualisation
    I developed and published interactive Tableau dashboards to provide stakeholders with live self-service visibility into KPIs and metrics, including profitability, staffing levels, and pricing analysis

    Advanced Forecasting
    I built a forecasting model by embedding SQL queries directly into Excel to help the business budget. This tool allowed us to predict future client volumes and the potential value of each client, which gave the management team a much clearer picture of our projected turnover
