The local picture
What the spreadsheet problem looks like in San Jose.
South Bay companies are not short of data — they are short of agreement. Sales reports pipeline from Salesforce, finance reports revenue from the billing system, and product reports usage from the warehouse. Each is internally consistent and none of them tie. The spreadsheet becomes the place where someone reconciles the three by hand at the end of every month, and that person is usually far too senior to be doing it.

What we get hired for here
The recurring San Jose engagement.
The recurring engagement here is the board-deck model. A Series A or B company needs ARR, net revenue retention, burn and runway calculated the same way every quarter, defensible to an investor who has seen hundreds of these. The failure mode is not a formula error — it is definitional drift, where NRR quietly changes meaning between Q2 and Q3 because a different person built the sheet. We write the definitions into the model, add the checks, and make the calculation reproducible so the quarterly scramble stops being a scramble.
Metric definitions that drift
Fix ARR, NRR, churn and magic number to a written definition inside the model, so the number means the same thing next quarter.
When Excel is the wrong tool
An honest assessment of what should stay in a workbook and what belongs in the warehouse — including the case for not building the thing you asked for.
WHAT YOU END UP WITHA defensible metrics model with written definitions, a CRM-to-billing reconciliation, or a clear recommendation on what to move out of Excel entirely.
Typical source data for San Jose clients: Salesforce or HubSpot exports, Stripe or Chargebee billing data, Snowflake or BigQuery extracts, NetSuite, and product usage exports from an internal warehouse.
An illustrative scenario
A Series B board model that disagreed with itself
A composite example built to show method, not a specific client engagement. No client is identified and no outcome is guaranteed.
- 01
Two people had built the metrics tab across four quarters. NRR used a cohort basis in one section and a simple ratio in another.
- 02
We start by writing the definitions down — in the file, not a separate doc — and getting the CFO and the VP Sales to actually sign off on them.
- 03
The model gets rebuilt against those definitions with a reconciliation tab showing why billing and CRM differ, rather than quietly forcing them to match.
- 04
Quarterly refresh drops from a week of arguments to a data paste and a review of the variance flags.
Working together across time zones
How the Pacific Time (PT) difference actually plays out.
We hold calls between 8:00 and 11:00 PT. Written updates are typically waiting when your team logs on.
For a first conversation, the most useful thing to send is which two systems disagree, by how much, and which metric an investor is going to ask you to defend. You do not need a requirements document, and if the file is sensitive a screen recording works just as well.

Meet the teamQuestions
Hiring an Excel expert in San Jose.
Answers written for this city, including the ones that might cost us the job.
Ask us something elseDo you have Excel experts near me in San Jose?
No — we are remote and there is no Bay Area office. For most of what South Bay companies hire us for, that is not a limitation: the work is model building and reconciliation, done over shared files and screen share. We are direct about this because a fake local address would be an odd thing to trust a financial model to.
Should we be doing this in Excel or in the warehouse?
Often the warehouse, and we will say so even though it makes the engagement smaller. Excel is the right home for scenario modelling, board presentation layers and anything where a human needs to change an assumption and see the effect. Recurring high-volume aggregation belongs in SQL. Most companies we see have the split backwards.
Can you help prepare a model for diligence?
Yes. Diligence-readiness is mostly about traceability: no hard-coded numbers inside formulas, one assumptions tab, checks that prove the model ties, and a documented calculation for every headline metric. We work through that as a checklist against your existing file.
We use Snowflake. Can you write the SQL as well?
Yes — SQL and Python are part of what we do, and for a lot of these projects the right answer is a query that produces a clean extract plus a much simpler workbook on top of it.
How quickly can you turn around a board model?
A rebuild of an existing metrics model is usually one to two weeks depending on how many definitions need resolving — and that resolution, not the build, is normally what takes the time.

Local or remote
When a San Jose hire beats us.
A fair comparison, since you are probably weighing a San Jose contractor against a remote team.
Hire locally in San Jose when
Someone can be in the room
For a workshop, a training session, or a discovery process across several departments, physical presence genuinely helps. We work well over a call, but we will not pretend it is identical.
Procurement is simpler
A local entity, local invoicing, local contract law. For some organisations — public sector especially — that is not negotiable, and no amount of rate advantage changes it.
Same working day
If a file breaks at 10am and must work by 2pm, somebody in your time zone will usually beat somebody in ours. Our overnight turnaround is an advantage for planned work and a disadvantage for emergencies.
Remote usually wins on
You may not meet the builder
At a consultancy the person who sells the work and the person who writes it are often different people. Here they are the same person, and you have their name.
Depth versus proximity
One local generalist covers whatever they happen to know. A small specialist team covers modelling, VBA, BI and Sheets properly. Which matters more depends entirely on what your file needs.
The rate difference is large
A local contractor in a major city typically charges several times a remote specialist's hourly rate for output a reviewer could not tell apart. That difference is the whole reason remote delivery exists.
