Show HN: Ekselio – Loveable for finance workflows (local first)

KD, a former finance professional with 20 years of experience in finance and M&A, has launched Ekselio, a local‑first tool designed to streamline finance workflows. The platform uses a large language model to orchestrate workflows based on the file schema, but all execution occurs in the browser. Users can view a canvas that displays previews of each node and the underlying SQL code, and a visual home tab is provided to help users relate to the tool’s operation. Once a workflow is created, it can be saved and re‑run later without consuming LLM tokens, keeping infrastructure minimal.

Ekselio supports exporting entire workflows as an Excel data pack that includes M code, making the process audit‑ready. It also connects directly to QuickBooks Online for live financial manipulation, to Fred for access to over 800,000 macro‑economic data series such as oil prices, inflation, and CPI, and to stock data. KD encourages users to test the tool, report bugs, and provide suggestions for improving the architecture. He has implemented a usage wall around his own API key but offers to remove it for a small number of users upon direct request.

Ekselio offers local‑first finance workflow orchestration, browser‑based execution, and integration with QuickBooks Online, Fred macro data, and stocks, and allows export to Excel with M code.
