HST return & CRA filing

The problem

Monthly HST returns across a group of small holding companies were prepared by hand: export the numbers from the ERP, key them into a return template, then key the same numbers a second time into the CRA portal. Every re-key was another chance to transpose a digit.

What I built

A macro that ingests the month's financial information from the ERP and populates the HST return template in Excel. After a human review, a second tool populates the CRA web form directly. The filer logs in with the BN, reviews what's on screen and clicks submit — control stays entirely with the person. The tool only moves the data.

The result

Immense time savings, compounding with every holding company added to the group, and transposition errors designed out rather than caught later. The human effort shifted from keying numbers to reviewing them.

Payroll file extraction

The problem

A transaction due diligence required every employee form previously uploaded to the client's HRIS. The software vendor was approached for a bulk export and quoted north of $300,000 to produce it.

What I built

An automated tool that works through the HRIS employee by employee, downloads every form attached to each record, and saves them into a consistent folder structure ready for the data room.

The result

Applied across 500+ legacy employees, it produced the same dataset the vendor had quoted six figures for — a massive efficiency gain, and the diligence timeline stayed intact.

Covenant compliance certificates

The problem

A client was spending manual time each period preparing compliance notices to banks across multiple debt certificates. The underlying financial data already lived in an Excel tracker — it was the reading, transcribing and formatting that consumed the hours.

What I built

A pre-programmed AI skill that analyses the Excel financial tracker, pulls out the relevant details for each certificate, and populates the compliance certificate in a consistent format every single time.

The result

Time moved from preparing to reviewing. Every certificate now leaves in the same format, and transposition errors between the tracker and the notice are gone.

AI valuation summary

The problem

Reviewing external valuation reports meant reading the current and prior year side by side to work out what actually moved, then separately checking the appraisal against recent comparable transactions — and hoping none had been missed.

What I built

A tool that ingests the current and prior year valuation reports and produces a consistent AI-generated summary of the key year-over-year changes. It also takes in a listing of known transactions, identifies whether the appraisal sits inside or outside the range of recent comparables, and flags any that are missing.

The result

A game changer for valuation review: changes, comparables and gaps in one place, in the same format for every property, generated in under a minute.

Trial balance consolidation

The problem

Month-end consolidation across entities sitting on different GL systems meant exporting each trial balance by hand, pasting it into a master workbook, and re-mapping the chart of accounts every period before eliminations could even start.

What I built

A pipeline that auto-ingests trial balances from each GL system on a month-end schedule, normalises them to a single chart of accounts, applies inter-entity eliminations by rule, and produces the consolidated financial report at the end.

The result

Manual copy-paste out of the close entirely. Consolidation runs on a schedule instead of on a person, and the mapping logic is documented rather than living in someone's head.

Journal entry pipeline

The problem

The same routine month-end entries — service charges, wire fees, interest income — were found by scrolling through bank statements and typed into the ERP one line at a time, every single month.

What I built

An automated pipeline that downloads the bank statements, AI-classifies the routine entries, and generates an ERP-ready import template complete with GL codes and cost-centre allocations.

The result

Recurring entries prepared in minutes instead of hours, coded consistently period over period, and ready to import rather than retype.

I'm a problem solver first. None of these existed as products — each one started as somebody's bottleneck. Bring me yours in a free consultation and I'll tell you honestly whether it can be built. Book a free consultation →
