About Me

Hi, I'm Brenda Kelly — an Excel and commercial analytics specialist with more than 20 years' experience in retail, planning, analysis, reporting and project support.I've spent my career turning data and business problems into practical solutions — from forecasting and budgeting models to reporting tools, pricing analysis, calculators and automated spreadsheets.I particularly enjoy the jobs that start with “There must be an easier way to do this” — whether that's fixing an existing spreadsheet, replacing a manual process, building a custom tool or digging into data to answer a business question.Through NZ Excel Guru, I offer flexible remote support for one-off projects, short-term contracts and ongoing analytical work.
