- **Role:** [M&A Analyst](https://calish.com/workflows/for/manda-analyst/)

## The Problem

Invoices arrive via email, PDF, mail, and vendor portals — M&A Analysts re-key them into Datasite, chase GL codes and approvers, and still end up with duplicates and late fees.

## What We Build in Excel

AI pulls bills from every channel, extracts line items, assigns GL codes using Transaction Advisory patterns, routes approvals, and sends payment files to Datasite — processing cost per invoice drops from $15 to under $2. Purpose-built for teams running Excel — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Excel Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Excel configuration.** We map the specific Excel objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your transaction advisory practice.
2. **Build on the Excel API or agent.** Integration happens inside Excel — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Excel with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
