Patrick Johnson
aka Samwise Spreadsheets
I carry the models, clean the data, and quietly save the day. I help values-driven businesses bring order to financial chaos—building clarity, structure, and confidence in your numbers.
The Companion's Toolkit
Budget & Forecast Builder
Operational forecasts tailored to your business
No cookie-cutter models here. I build spreadsheets that match your workflow, not fight it—simple to understand, easy to update, and built to grow with you.
Variance Whispering

I help you make sense of what actually happened—why it was different, and what to do about it. It's like narrative therapy for your numbers.
Data Cleanup & Dashboards
Consolidates messy exports into clean, decision-ready dashboards
I turn spreadsheet mayhem into stories your team can actually use. No fluff. Just visuals that guide decisions—and maybe even spark a high-five in the next meeting

Not sure what you need yet? No problem. We’ll figure it out together—whether it’s pricing strategy, process cleanup, or just taming a wild free-roaming spreadsheet.
Your Financial Companion, Patrick
"I'm not a CFO. I'm the guy who makes their reports work."
With over a decade of FP&A experience, I specialize in helping founder-led, values-driven companies gain clarity through clean data. I'm into fantasy books, spreadsheet lore, and my dog Louis—who you might consider my magical familiar.
