EDUCATION & CAREER
Graduated: Marriott School of Management, Accounting, Brigham Young University, 1994
Became CPA in State of California in 1997 (license is currently active)
While studying accounting in college, David discovered his side passion for computer science and his knack for analyzing, assessing and ultimately improving day-to-day computing processes. In 1997, shortly after becoming a CPA, David began his consulting career working in managerial accounting positions. Before long, the time consuming grind of month-end processes – reconciliation, analysis, reporting, all performed using Microsoft Excel – led David to the conclusion, “There has to be a faster and better way of doing this.” Determined to find it, David dove head first into the complex world of automation based in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
23 years later, David and his team at Accelerated Business Solutions are able to push Microsoft Excel, as well as Access, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook, to their absolute limits, providing true end-to-end automation solutions for businesses across the globe. Processes that once took hours, or even days, and which were prone to costly human error, can now be completed flawlessly in minutes – or even seconds! All the while, ABS has grown in its expertise, offering database creation and programming through Microsoft SQL, as well as programming and automation through cloud platforms and APIs.

UIPATH & ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION
Starting in 2017, we began offering Robotic Process Automation (RPA). While working on a project with Toyota, David became the first person in the company to earn certification in UiPath, an RPA software solution provider, and moved quickly to create a number of RPA solutions for the various Accounting departments at Toyota. Before long, David’s mastery of both excel and UiPath made him the expert in the room for priority automation needs.
Integrating Excel automation with UiPath automation / RPA is at the core of what we do. The process goes:
- Using Excel automation to set up data in a spreadsheet, which will be used by the UiPath robot.
- Executing the UiPath robot from the Excel workbook using the UiPath Orchestrator API. This allows us to execute unattended robots directly from Excel.
- If a report needs to be finalized in Excel, we build additional Excel automation to complete that process also, typically using a UiPath robot to execute an Excel macro.
Through this combination of Excel and UiPath, we achieve true interactive end-to-end automation.
Easy to Work With
Our work may be complex, but working with us is not! David has decades of experience communicating with enterprise business owners, CEOs, executives and teams at every level of IT savviness. We’re confident we can help bridge the common communication gap between business employees and IT employees, and vice versa.
Our service approach not only includes automation, but also a strong desire to educate those we work with. We are eager to share our knowledge with your team and to help empower them to use UiPath, Excel, and other software programs with better efficiency.
Give Us a Try
If you have employees, or in our observation, MBAs, who take hours to work with data and come up with solutions, ABS is for you. We have literally built automation solutions that have reduced a process that took two MBAs a week to create (100-140 man hours) down to less than a minute. You will not believe what is possible until you see it for yourself.
