Power Automate · Microsoft 365 · Michigan

Stop paying people to do work software should do.

If it's repetitive and it lives on a computer, I can probably automate it. Data entry, reporting, inventory, budgeting, custom apps, AI built right into the flow — bring me whatever's eating your team's time. Real systems, in production, handling real money.

What I build

Whatever's eating your time, automated.

These four are just common starting points — not the limit. If a task is repetitive, rules-based, and on a screen, there's a strong chance I can take it off your team's plate. Bring me the messy stuff.

01

AI-powered budgeting & financial analysis

Dynamic budgets built per location, with AI reading your actuals against caps and flagging variance the moment it happens — not at month-end.

02

Inventory creation & management systems

Full inventory builds — units, items, vendor catalogs, costing, recipes — set up correctly once and kept in sync automatically across every location.

multi-site · auto-sync
03

App & website creation

Custom apps and sites built around your workflow — customer ordering, internal tools, dashboards — connected straight to the systems you already run on.

web · mobile · internal tools
04

Financial reporting, automated

AR/AP aging, P&L, and custom reports that build and email themselves on schedule — formatted, accurate, and pulled live from your data. No more manual spreadsheets.

scheduled · formatted · hands-off

Kill manual data entry

Forms and documents flow straight into your systems — no retyping, no copy-paste between apps.

Invoice & AP automation

Invoices read, routed, and posted automatically across companies and approval chains.

Intake & approval flows

Microsoft Forms → branded documents → the right inbox, automatically.

Don't see your thing here? That's the point. Describe whatever wastes your time and I'll tell you straight whether I can automate it — and I usually can.

AI, built in

We integrate AI directly into your workflow.

Not a chatbot bolted on the side — AI woven into the automation itself. It reads and classifies documents, pulls data out of messy invoices and forms, summarizes reports, flags anomalies in your numbers, and answers questions about your own data. The flow does the moving; the AI does the judgment.

Automation already in production

Real workflows. Real business operations.

Instead of just describing services, here are six systems already running — built to eliminate repetitive steps across emails, PDFs, forms, spreadsheets, approvals, and reporting.
AI Invoice & AP Automation

Invoice → Accounting-ready entry

PDFs arrive, data is extracted, and exceptions are flagged so AP stops retyping and reviewing the same fields.

  • Vendor, invoice number, date, total, and location are identified
  • Expenses can be mapped to accounting/GL categories
  • Duplicates and exceptions are flagged for review
  • Information is prepared for accounting workflows
Weekly Restaurant Purchasing Budgets

Location-specific budgets every week

Budgets are evaluated automatically from sales, inventory, promotions, and extreme weather signals.

The Care Plan — I'm on call

Software changes. APIs update, your business shifts, you want a tweak. For a flat monthly fee I'm your on-call automation person — message me anytime something needs a change or a fix and I'm on it fast, usually the same day. No per-change invoices, no waiting on a quote. Send it and consider it handled.

Add a Care Plan
Who you're working with

A Michigan builder, not a faceless agency.

I build automation for businesses running on Microsoft 365 and Business Central — the same systems I've used to automate accounting, payroll, inventory, and operations for real companies. I focus on Michigan because I'd rather actually know my clients than scale an agency that doesn't.

You talk to the person doing the work. Always.

Frequently asked.

What kind of work can you actually automate?

If it's repetitive, rules-based, and happens on a computer, it's probably a candidate — data entry, invoice and AP processing, reports you build by hand, moving data between systems, intake forms, inventory updates, and budgeting. If you're not sure, just describe the task and I'll tell you straight whether it's automatable. Usually it is.

What systems do you work with?

I specialize in the Microsoft 365 / Power Automate ecosystem and Business Central, and I integrate AI directly into those workflows. I also build custom apps and websites, and connect to most tools that have an API. If your stack is unusual, ask — there's usually a way.

How much does it cost?

The consultation is free. From there it's $75/hour, or one flat price for the whole project agreed up front — your choice, no surprises. Most first projects pay for themselves in saved hours within the first quarter.

How long does a project take?

Most single automations are days, not months. After the free audit I'll give you a clear scope and timeline before any work starts, so you know exactly what you're getting and when.

Do you maintain it after it's built?

Optionally, yes — the Care Plan is a flat monthly fee that keeps me on call for changes and fixes when your business shifts or an API updates. Or you can take the system as-is and run it yourself. Your call.

Is my data safe?

Your automations run inside your own Microsoft 365 / Business Central environment — I build on your systems, not a third-party black box. I only access what's needed to build and test, and we can scope permissions tightly.

Free audit

What's the most repetitive thing your team does?

Tell me, and I'll show you whether it's worth automating — in 15 minutes, free. Prefer to write it out? Use the form and I'll reply, usually same day.
