About Jeff Leahy

I am a technology enthusiast that brings infectious energy to everything that I do. To me, nothing is more satisfying than teaching others how to become more efficient. I don\'t just help others create faster, more appealing reports; I give them confidence to think creatively and show them new ways to use existing tools more effectively. This not only improves efficiency, but more importantly, improves morale.Automation is in my DNA. I often fine myself in situations analyzing inefficient processes, not only at work, but in almost everything I do. This has benefited my career by saving valuable time, along with giving me better insights to make smarter decisions. This has also lead to my crazy obsession with home automation.Specialties: Dashboarding, Reporting, Business Modeling, Providing Financial Summaries, Microsoft Power BI, PowerPivot, Financial Planning and Forecasting, Data Analysis
