About Michael Keiffer

I make complex data usable. Over my career, I’ve walked into audits that were weeks behind, fraud investigations with no clear trail, and data environments so tangled no one knew where to start, and built solutions that turned chaos into transparency. I’m at my best when the stakes are high, the data is massive, and the answers aren’t obvious.My work has cut audits from to, saved clients nearly $600K, uncovered potential money-laundering schemes, and automated testing programs teams once spent months completing. I work end-to-end: understanding the business question, digging into the data, building the workflows, and making sure the solution lives on after the engagement (this is where my training background comes in).As an Alteryx ACE (there are fewer than 100 of us worldwide) and former ACL Master Trainer, I’ve taught of professionals across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East how to use analytics tools to solve real business problems. I design and deliver training that meets people where they are, whether they’re auditors, analysts, or executives trying to make sense of new capabilities. Empowering teams to own their tools is as important to me as building the tools themselves: Translate Alteryx, Python, ACL, CaseWare IDEA, SAP, and Tableau into practical, scalable solutions that reveal the story inside the data. I enjoy the work others find intimidating, converting decades-old scripts, cleaning enormous SAP tables, building fraud-detection models, or creating continuous-monitoring programs that surface risk in minutes instead of months.\'? Organizations call me when something isn’t adding up…a process is too slow, a risk is hiding in the data, or a team needs better tools but isn’t sure where to start. I enjoy stepping in, building the right solution, and leaving teams stronger, faster, and more confident in the data they rely on.
