Practical Excel tools built for real work

Hi, I’m Jaze

Hi, I’m Jaze. I’m a Certified Public Accountant. I run OneXcel Studio, where I make Excel templates, the OneXcel Dashboard Builder, and free tutorials for people who use spreadsheets every day.

From accountant to dashboard builder

I’ve spent over 10 years in accounting, mostly in project management and general accounting. Excel was where the work happened: month-end reports, reconciliations, and spreadsheets that took hours to update.

I’ve always loved programming, so I taught myself VBA and advanced formulas to automate the repetitive parts. Reports that took an afternoon started taking minutes. Then I asked a bigger question: why can’t Excel look as good as it works? That’s when I started designing clean, visual dashboards anyone can use in a few clicks.

Why I built the Dashboard Builder

In 2018, I wanted one Excel file with one main dashboard that showed everything I needed: summaries, open tasks, and what to do next. Building cards by hand took too long, so I wrote VBA to create them automatically. The first version could only make a few cards. Over time, I added unlimited cards, styles, colours and sizes.

When I shared an early version on Etsy, I found out I wasn’t the only one with this problem. That’s what turned a personal tool into OneXcel Studio.

What’s next

I’m still building. Next on my list is letting you create preset reports just by describing them to AI. It’s a long road, and I’m enjoying every step.

Why I started OneXcel Studio

Over the years I kept running into the same problems. Workbooks that broke when someone added a row. Reports rebuilt from scratch every month. Formulas nobody could explain. Hours spent on work that a well-built template could do in minutes.

I wanted to make the kind of tools I wished I’d had: clear, reliable, and easy to pick up, even if you aren’t an Excel expert.

How I build things

Every template starts with a real task, not an idea for a fancy spreadsheet. The goal is simple: give the right answer, make it easy to check, and keep it working next month.

As an accountant, I’m used to work being reviewed and reconciled. I build my templates the same way:

• Clear input areas, so you always know where your data goes
• Formulas you can follow, not hidden tricks
• Checks that flag mistakes before they reach a report
• Instructions written in plain language

What you’ll find here

• OneXcel Dashboard Builder Pro v2.2: build interactive Excel dashboards without starting over each time.
• Builder Lite (free): try the Dashboard Builder workflow at no cost.
• Excel templates: ready-to-use templates for accounting, personal finance, HR, planning and productivity, also available in my Etsy shop.
• Excel tutorials: free, step-by-step guides to formulas, charts, dashboards and VBA.

Tutorials you can actually follow

I write each tutorial so you can use it with your own data: what to set up, which formula to use, why it works, and how to check the result. When there’s a common mistake, like losing data when splitting text or double-counting in a variance report, I point it out and show a safer way.

If something isn’t clear, I’d rather fix the explanation than leave you guessing. Just send me a message.

Who this is for

• Accountants and finance teams who want faster, more reliable reporting
• Small-business owners and Etsy sellers tracking sales, cash and expenses
• Team leads and HR staff managing schedules, leave and projects
• Anyone who wants to get better at Excel with clear, practical examples
