Customer stories

Real finance workflows, anonymized

These examples are representative stories based on the spreadsheet problems Derek is built to solve.

Board reporting

Series B SaaS company

A lean FP&A team used Derek to trace forecast outputs, identify the active source model, explain formula chains, and flag changed assumptions before a board meeting.

Result: faster reporting prep and clearer provenance for the numbers in the deck.

Budget cleanup

Multi-entity services company

Department submissions arrived in inconsistent formats with broken formulas and mismatched assumptions. Derek cleaned workbooks, standardized formats, and flagged formula inconsistencies.

Result: less time on spreadsheet cleanup and more time on variance analysis.

Knowledge reuse

Strategy consulting team

A team needed a market model similar to work the firm had done before. Derek searched by business question, surfaced relevant models, and summarized methodology.

Result: the team reused prior work instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Version review

Corporate finance team

A finance leader needed to approve an updated forecast. Derek compared workbook versions, summarized changed assumptions, identified added sheets, and explained downstream impact.

Result: review happened in minutes instead of manual side-by-side inspection.
