Excel, Power Apps, Google Sheets, M365, Power Automate, Dataverse and Web design, done properly.
I'm Chris. I build the spreadsheets, apps and automations that take the repetitive work off your plate, so your business runs on its own a little more each week.
How I take work off your plate
Whether you need a quick fix to an existing file or a detailed review of your workflow, I use the most up-to-date tools and methods to solve your problem. That could mean a small edit to an Excel file or a custom CRM built on Power Platform. Whatever the job needs, I'll deliver.

A few jobs that went well
Real automations for real businesses. Names anonymised, results not.
Running my own business on a CRM I built myself
Help Technical runs on a Power Platform CRM I built for myself: pipeline, projects, tasks and renewals in one place. The same kind of build I do for clients, dogfooded daily.
Read the case studySixty monthly tabs, rebuilt as one solar performance report
A UK solar company's site reports came out of a workbook that had grown by accretion since 2022. Rebuilt on a single daily-data table with Power Query and a Power Pivot data model, branded, exportable to PDF in one click, then extended with safety, security, spares and maintenance tracking.
Read the case studyA pricing job that was nearly a full-time role, down to an hour or two
A US food distributor rebuilt customer pricing sheets by hand from two suppliers' cost files, in whichever layout each customer expected. An Excel engine with Power Query imports and a one-click VBA refresh now does it in an hour or two.
Read the case studyHelp Technical is me: Chris.
No account managers, no offshore team, no work quietly passed to someone else. When you hire Help Technical, I'm the one scoping it, building it and picking up the phone.
I've spent 15+ years getting businesses out of spreadsheet trouble and onto things that actually scale, from a tidy macro that saves an afternoon, to a full Power App your whole team relies on.
Growing businesses so often run on spreadsheets someone put together years ago (sometimes by a person who has since left) and keeping the workflow running quietly becomes nobody's job. I've seen it time and again.
I work freelance, and where a business wants longer-term support with their workflow and technology, I'm happy to arrange it.
I use AI tools in my work, and I'd rather you knew how before you have to ask. Here's how I use them, and where the lines are.
- “Chris was awesome. The product is awesome and I will definitely use him again for future projects. It took a process that was taking us 3 - 4 days to compile down to 15 minutes.” (misstonia01, United States)
- “I needed Excel Macros on Mac - to automate the same process across 69 files in the folder, and maybe 8/10 other experts on Fiverr said that they couldn't do it; Chris did. 10/10 recommend his services, Chris communication was prompt and services delivery very quick (quicker than expected, in fact). We had to go through many revisions but this was expected due to very specific request on my side. Chris, thanks!” (kristis69, Lithuania)
- “This is my third hire now of Chris and I can't speak highly enough of him. He is great at communicating, works very quickly and finds solutions to absolute everything you can think of. Hire Chris if you want a true professional.” (celestrialoffic, United States)
- “Thompson was fantastic to work with. He gave me a very clear idea of what his plan was to solve my problem, the timeline and cost. He also insured the code behind his solution, was neat and optimal, not just thrown together. I also booked an additional call with him, in which he very patiently explained his code and logic in great detail, so that even a total novice could understand it. The solution does what i want, and is flexible, so would highly recommend!” (cormjack, United Kingdom)
- “Chris actually cracked a very difficult coding task (that has previously eluded many other coders!) Highly recommended!” (seo_and_ppc, United Kingdom)
Tell me what's painful
A quick, no-pressure chat. Describe the job (or the spreadsheet that's driving you mad) and I'll come back with honest next steps.
Thanks, message sent
I'll be in touch within a working day.
