Anyone automated part of their job?

Posting this in the IB forum because it's not really off-topic and this is the most read sub-forum

Has anyone in FO finance automated/codeified any part of their job? Even small parts. Specifically FO because it's less process-driven work normally.

Obviously banks generally don't let you use Python or whatever but afaik VBA macros in Excel are generally okay... 

If you have automated any part, can you give details? Just curious where I could get away doing less haha.

If not, share any other efficiency hacks you have.
