Business Intelligence Consultant (freelance) at NBIC – Nisanthan BI Consulting
Advising companies on building, migrating and optimising BI and reporting landscapes (Power BI, SQL, Python, ETL)
5 client engagements in real estate and finance since 05/2025: taking over and stabilising existing reporting, automating recurring standard and management reports, building cash-flow models
Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects
Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development
Custom ERP system
Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.
Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.
Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.
Timesheet app
Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.
Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.
Cash-flow modelling
Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.
Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology
What VBA does
VBA, short for Visual Basic for Applications, is the scripting layer inside Microsoft Office. It is used to automate repetitive work, connect documents and spreadsheets, and build internal tools that live in Excel, Access, Word, or Outlook.
Common use cases
- Excel macros, formulas, and report automation
- Access forms, queries, and database workflows
- Word templates and document generation
- Outlook mail handling and inbox workflows
It is still common in finance, operations, sales reporting, and administration, especially where teams need quick results inside Office instead of a separate app.
Ecosystem and tools
A strong VBA specialist knows the Office object model, the Visual Basic Editor, macro security, and how VBA works with COM and other Windows components. They also understand how code is stored in workbooks, templates, and add-ins, and how to keep it readable and maintainable.
When companies need help
- A workbook has grown into a critical business tool
- Macros break after Office updates or file changes
- Legacy Access or Excel logic needs cleanup
- New reporting work must fit into existing Office files
Berlin teams often need support for local finance, logistics, consulting, and back-office processes where Office remains the daily workspace. Remote collaboration works well for most tasks, but on-site sessions can help when business users need fast workshops.
What strong specialists bring
Strong professionals do more than write macros. They structure code, handle errors, protect data, and document what the automation does so another expert can take over later. They also know when VBA is the right choice and when the task should move to another tool.
How VBA fits today
VBA is often used with Excel, Access, SharePoint-linked files, CSV imports, and older internal systems. It is practical for targeted automation, but it should stay small, reliable, and easy to support.
For companies, the value is clear: reduce manual work without forcing a full rebuild. For freelancers, the key is to understand business processes, not just syntax.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about VBA? Start with the answers below.
VBA is used to automate tasks inside Microsoft Office, especially Excel, Access, Word, and Outlook. Companies use it for reporting, document creation, data cleanup, and small internal workflows that need to stay close to the file or form the team already uses.
VBA is related to Visual Basic, but it is not the same as VB.NET. VBA runs inside Office applications and works with their object models, while VB.NET is part of the .NET world and is used for different kinds of software. If you need Office automation, VBA is often the relevant skill.
Hire a VBA specialist when important Excel or Access logic has become hard to maintain, when macros fail after changes, or when manual work is slowing teams down. The best experts can stabilize existing files, improve performance, and document the automation so it can be supported later.
A strong VBA professional usually knows Excel, Access, Word, and Outlook automation, plus data handling, forms, error handling, and workbook structure. Knowledge of SQL, Power Query, CSV imports, and Windows file handling is often useful too, because many Office automations depend on those pieces.
VBA is best when the work must happen inside Office and the process already lives in a workbook, template, or Access file. Python is often better for larger data workflows, and Power Automate fits cloud-based flows. A good specialist can tell you which option is simpler to support.
A small macro fix may need only a focused VBA expert, while a business-critical workbook or Access system needs someone who can read old code, test edge cases, and work cleanly with users. Complexity matters more than length of the project, especially when files have been edited by many people.
Yes, most VBA work can be done remotely because the files, code, and test cases can be shared securely. In Berlin, some teams still prefer an on-site session at the start to map the process, review business rules, and agree on how the automation should behave.
Look for a VBA expert who writes clear code, uses proper error handling, avoids hidden side effects, and explains how the solution is maintained. Good signs are clean module structure, testing on real files, and a realistic view of whether the problem belongs in VBA or in another tool.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Berlin, Germany who have used VBA in their recent projects is 103 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 825 € based on an 8-hour working day.
