Custom time-saving tools for small businesses in Oshawa and Durham Region

Less retyping. More running your business.

I’m William, and I help local businesses spend less time on repetitive data entry. We start by sitting down together so I can see how you do things today. Then I build a simple tool that fits your process, not the other way around.

Book a free 30-minute sit-down No cost, no pitch, no obligation.

Monthly invoicing, before

  • Export three reports from three systems
  • Copy the totals into the spreadsheet
  • Retype customer details into each form
  • Check everything against the bank statement
  • Write each follow-up email one by one

After

Drop the files in. Review. Send.

Every business does things a little differently. Your tools should too.

No off-the-shelf software to force your team into. Here’s how we work together.

  1. 1

    We sit down

    A free 30 minutes to talk about where your time goes each week. No cost and no pressure.

  2. 2

    I learn your process

    I watch how you do it today, step by step, so the tool fits your sheets, forms and habits.

  3. 3

    I build it around you

    A simple tool made for your business, with a clear before and after so you see exactly what changed.

  4. 4

    I stick around

    Need a tweak in a month or two? Call me. Adjusting as your business changes is part of the service.

What I build

Every tool is custom, but most start from one of these everyday headaches.

Merge messy reports into one clean sheet

Pull exports from your accounting, bank and job systems together and get the summary you actually need.

Enter it once, fill every form

Type a customer or new hire’s details once and have every form, letter and setup sheet filled for you.

Check paperwork against your rules

Catch wrong charges, missing details and mismatches automatically, before they become a problem.

Draft the follow-up emails for you

Reminders, approvals and credit requests written up and ready to review, instead of starting from scratch each time.

Quick reference guides your team will use

Prices, policies and how-tos in one simple, searchable page instead of a binder or a dozen files.

Get your inbox under control

Rules that sort notices, copies and alerts automatically, so the emails that matter rise to the top.

Something else eating your week? Tell me about it.

William, owner of ClearRun Workflows

Hi, I’m William

I started in payroll as a clerk 17 years ago and worked my way up through supervisor and manager to director, running payroll for businesses across Canada and the U.S. The whole way, my goal stayed the same: simplify the work, reduce errors and make everything as efficient as possible.

When I started, everything was entered into systems line by line. I built Excel sheets full of formulas to speed that up, then macros, then a web page that ran those macros and produced import-ready sheets. Eventually I led a development team that built our own payroll platform and connected it directly with a major payroll provider.

Now I want to bring that same approach to local businesses here in Durham Region.

I’m not a salesperson. I just like seeing a messy process become a smooth one, and I care about the people I build for.

A few things I’ve built

  • A full weekly payroll audit across 900 companies that checks for compliance issues in minutes, work that used to take a team of seven people every week
  • A setup sheet where details are entered once and eight separate forms fill themselves in
  • Billing tools that combine several reports into finished invoices and approval files in one step
  • Inbox rules that turned a backlog of over 6,000 unread emails into an organized inbox

Your data stays with you

Most tools run right on your own computer, so your information doesn’t get sent anywhere.

Local and reachable
