Do you need help setting up, cleaning up, or tweaking data to make it work for your business? I have used MS Excel and Access to facilitate business workflows and reporting needs for more than 20 years, with a wide range of experience--from simple contact lists, accounting, and invoicing, to fully functional applications for inventory and shipping management, integrating disparate data sources, and interactive performance dashboards and reporting. I am also familiar with Unix-type OS, additional database platforms, XML, SQL, various scripting languages, etc., having performed data cleansing, load and extraction operations for over a decade.

Or perhaps you would like to learn to maximize the utility of these applications yourself, through remote tutoring sessions using your own real-world data and business requirements, rather than wasting hours creating a boilerplate configuration through a cutesy tutorial, only to find that an important piece of your workflow doesn't fit. Maybe you just want a quick bit of help with a tricky formula? In my years of corporate experience, one important (and enjoyable) aspect of my job has been helping others solve frustrating problems.

Other skills include: data analysis, proofreading, writing (especially business docs such as proposals, statements of work, and website copy), document/template formatting, web, email, and other interactive electronic forms (i.e., Word, Google, most website development applications, PDF).

I have tentatively set an hourly simbi rate, but pricing is negotiable. I may be able to quote larger jobs or consider exchanges.
