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, or Visual Basic for Applications, is Microsoft’s scripting language for automating tasks inside Excel, Access, Word, Outlook and other Office applications. It turns repetitive manual work into repeatable processes, from workbook calculations to document generation and structured data entry. VBA remains useful where business logic lives in familiar Office files.
Typical solutions
VBA specialists create practical tools for finance, operations, sales, procurement and reporting teams. Common deliverables include:
- Excel models with controlled inputs, formulas and automated reports
- Access databases with forms, queries and validation rules
- Office workflows that move data between Excel, Outlook and Word
- Import routines for CSV, ERP exports and other business files
- Reusable templates, menus and custom functions for internal teams
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong VBA work depends on more than writing macros. Professionals use the Visual Basic Editor, the Excel object model, Office object libraries, UserForms, Power Query and database connections such as ODBC or ADO. They also work with formulas, pivot tables, Power Pivot, Windows file systems and Microsoft 365 constraints when a solution crosses application boundaries.
When expertise helps
Companies usually bring in freelance VBA expertise when a critical workbook has become difficult to maintain, reporting takes too much manual effort or an internal process depends on undocumented macros. Specialists can audit existing modules, separate business rules from interface code and introduce safer error handling without disrupting daily operations. In Berlin, this can support both on-site collaboration and remote work with teams across Germany.
Signs of quality
Reliable VBA professionals make automation understandable and controlled. Look for evidence of:
- Clear module structure, naming and comments that explain business decisions
- Defensive handling of missing files, invalid inputs and changing data ranges
- Efficient procedures that avoid unnecessary worksheet interaction
- Versioned files, test cases and a practical handover for internal users
- Awareness of permissions, macro security and sensitive business data
Working with a specialist
A good engagement starts with representative files, a description of the current process and clear acceptance criteria. The specialist should confirm which Office versions, data sources and user permissions matter before changing production workbooks. They should also explain when VBA is appropriate and when a Power Automate flow, Power Query process, database or dedicated application would be easier to govern.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about VBA? Start with the answers below.
VBA is commonly used to automate Excel calculations, reporting, data imports, document creation and recurring Office tasks. It is also used to build forms and database workflows in Access and to connect information across Excel, Word and Outlook.
VBA is often the quickest choice when the process already runs inside Excel or another Office application and users need a familiar workbook interface. Power Automate suits cloud-based business workflows, while Python is usually stronger for larger data tasks, external services and software that should run independently of Office.
A strong VBA specialist should understand Excel formulas, pivot tables, Power Query and data modelling. Knowledge of Access, SQL, ADO or ODBC is valuable for database work, while familiarity with Power Automate and Microsoft 365 helps when automation is moving beyond desktop files.
The right level of VBA experience depends on the risk and scope of the workbook or process, not only on the amount of code. A small macro may need focused troubleshooting, while a shared financial model or Access workflow requires careful testing, documentation, permissions review and a structured handover.
Yes, VBA projects can usually be handled remotely when the specialist can access representative files, requirements and a safe test environment. Berlin-based teams may still prefer occasional on-site workshops for process discovery, user testing or handover, especially when sensitive data cannot leave the organization.
For a VBA engagement, provide sample files, the current manual steps, expected outputs and the Office applications involved. It also helps to identify data restrictions, user roles, refresh schedules and the people who will maintain the solution after delivery.
Quality VBA work is readable, modular and safe when inputs or file locations change. Ask how the specialist handles errors, protects sensitive logic, tests edge cases, measures performance and documents the workbook so another professional can support it.
A company should reconsider VBA when many users need browser access, several systems must exchange data continuously or permissions and auditability have become difficult to control. Extending an existing macro is sensible when Office remains the natural interface, the data volume is manageable and the process can be tested reliably.
