Last position:
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
Desktop Automation with Visual Basic for Applications
Visual Basic for Applications powers deep workflow automation within the Microsoft Office suite. Organizations rely on it to eliminate repetitive manual processing across workbooks, generate automated reports, and orchestrate documents in Excel, Access, Word, and Outlook.
Core Tooling and Enterprise Integration
Experienced professionals leverage the language to bridge desktop applications with broader enterprise infrastructure through structured data connections:
- Automation of financial models and balance sheet consolidations
- Development of relational front ends in Microsoft Access
- Integration with SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL via ADO and ODBC
- Creation of robust UserForms, custom ribbon menus, and COM add-ins
- Extraction and transformation of external data feeds via REST APIs
When Organizations Need Dedicated Specialists
Businesses typically engage outside specialists when spreadsheet models grow too complex for standard formulas or unstable macros disrupt daily operations. Modernizing fragile workbooks, establishing error logging, and standardizing macro security requires disciplined software practices beyond casual scripting.
Modernizing Legacy Workbooks and Workflows
Many projects involve auditing existing legacy code to improve performance and maintainability. Specialists clean up unstructured subroutines, optimize memory usage, and prepare desktop tools for future migration toward cloud services, Python scripts, or Power Platform workflows.
Requirements for Companies in Berlin
Teams in Berlin often blend traditional corporate structures with fast-moving tech operations. In this market, professionals frequently handle cross-functional collaboration between finance teams and tech departments, offering bilingual documentation in English and German for on-site or hybrid alignment.
What Sets Senior Professionals Apart
Distinguished professionals treat Office automation like disciplined software development. They write defensive code with structured error handling, apply strict type declarations, separate business logic from UI elements, and document architecture clearly for non-technical internal stakeholders.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about VBA? Start with the answers below.
Organizations use VBA primarily to automate recurring financial planning, monthly data reconciliation, inventory reporting, and bulk invoice generation across Microsoft Excel and Access. It enables direct data exchanges between spreadsheets, databases, and enterprise email systems without requiring external software installations.
While Python and Power Automate provide modern cloud and data analysis tools, Visual Basic for Applications executes natively within desktop Office files without server setups or third-party runtime environments. When users require embedded macros inside standalone workbooks with instant local responsiveness, the built-in language remains standard.
Yes, through ActiveX Data Objects and standard ODBC interfaces, a Visual Basic for Applications module can query, insert, and update records in central data stores like SQL Server. This allows teams to use familiar spreadsheet interfaces while keeping core business records safely centralized.
Most projects for VBA in Berlin operate smoothly under remote or hybrid models, especially when handling back-office workflows. However, initial on-site scoping workshops with local finance, operations, or controlling teams are frequently preferred to gather exact process requirements directly.
Look for specialists with deep backgrounds in Excel VBA who demonstrate disciplined software development principles, such as modular architecture and explicit variable typing. Candidates should have a proven track record of handling fragile enterprise files and translating messy operational workflows into maintainable code.
Because modern security policies strictly block untrusted macros, a competent VBA professional configures trusted locations, implements digital code signatures, and validates input data rigorously. They ensure corporate security teams approve file execution policies before deploying workbooks into production.
International startups and established corporations in Berlin often run projects for Visual Basic for Applications entirely in English. For projects situated deeply within local accounting, tax, or legal controlling departments, bilingual fluency in English and German is often beneficial.
True VBA professionals write clean procedures without using recorded macro code or direct cell selection statements. They implement centralized error handlers, structure scalable user interfaces, optimize execution speed by disabling screen updating, and provide thorough user documentation.
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 822 € based on an 8-hour working day.
