The problem

You searched for help. You got a wall of apps.

Every time you look up how to clean up a messy spreadsheet, you get the same answer: another tool to sign up for. Another AI to learn. Another free trial that wants your card and still leaves you doing the work — reading the docs, mapping the columns, fixing what the tool got wrong.

You didn’t want software. You wanted the spreadsheet fixed.

That’s what this is. You send the file, I clean it up, you get it back — one tab you can actually trust. No app to learn, no dashboard to babysit, no “getting started” tutorial. Just a real person who does this all day doing it for you.

The whole difference: the tools hand you a mop. I mop the floor.

What you get

What “cleaned up” actually means

Send me the file that’s driving you crazy and I’ll hand back a clean, reliable version of it. Depending on the mess, that means:

  • Duplicates gone — merged and de-duped so every row is one real thing.
  • Formats fixed — dates, currency, phone numbers, names, and text all consistent instead of eight styles in one column.
  • Formulas repaired — broken references, #REF! errors, and totals that don’t add up, fixed and checked.
  • Structure sorted — split or merged columns, headers cleaned, stray notes and blank rows cleared out.
  • One tab you can trust — the version you actually work from, plus a short note on what I changed and why.
$300 flat · agreed before I touch anything · most files back in 24–48h

One number, agreed before I touch anything — no hourly meter, no surprise invoice. Bigger or recurring jobs (a monthly cleanup, a full automation) get their own flat quote up front. Works in both Excel and Google Sheets — send whichever you’ve got.

The free part

See it fixed before you pay a dollar

Before you spend anything, I’ll show you the actual work on your actual data — free.

  1. Send me the messy file.

    Email the spreadsheet that’s eating your week, or just describe the chore. Two minutes of your time.

  2. I fix a piece of it in about a day.

    You get back a real working sample on your data — a cleaned tab, not a sales pitch — usually within one business day.

  3. Keep it either way.

    Like it? Pick the $300 flat cleanup and I’ll finish the whole thing. Not for you? Keep the demo free — no hard feelings, no follow-up sequence.

Questions people ask

Spreadsheet cleanup, answered

Who can clean up my messy spreadsheet?
A real person can — that’s this service. Instead of a DIY tool you have to learn, you email the file to Colin McCarthy at Automated Workflow and get back a cleaned, reliable version, usually within 24–48 hours. It’s $300 flat, and the first fix is free through the 1-day mini-demo.
How much does spreadsheet cleanup cost?
$300 flat, agreed up front before any work starts — no hourly billing and no surprise invoice. Larger or recurring jobs get their own flat quote. You can also see a working fix on your real data first through the free mini-demo, so you know what you’re paying for before you pay.
Is my data safe when I send you my spreadsheet?
Yes. Your file is never shared and never used for anything else, and it’s deleted after the demo. An NDA is available on request — just ask before you send. You’re working with one person in Gainesville, FL, not passing your data through a platform or a team.
Can you clean up Excel files, or only Google Sheets?
Both. Cleanups work in Excel and in Google Sheets — send whichever you use. If you want a live, self-updating version afterward, that runs best in Google Sheets, and moving your file from Excel to Sheets is part of the job.
How fast will I get my spreadsheet back?
Most cleanups come back within 24–48 hours. The free mini-demo — a working fix on a piece of your real data — usually goes out within one business day. Bigger automation builds get a firm date before we start.
Is there a spreadsheet cleanup service near me / for my small business?
Automated Workflow is based in Gainesville, FL and works with small businesses everywhere in the US — the whole job runs remotely over email and Google Sheets, so “near me” doesn’t limit it. Same real person, same $300 flat price, same 24–48h turnaround whether you’re down the street or across the country.
