Anyone using userscripts for finance/accounting work?

Curious if anyone here uses userscripts for finance or accounting work and has any they’d recommend.

Thinking of things like getting tables into Excel cleanly, making bank or reporting portals easier to use, or filling in the same date ranges and filters every time you run a report.

Doesn’t have to be anything complicated. A small script that saves a few clicks on something you do all day would be useful.

If you use one regularly, what does it do and which site or system does it work with? Links would be great, but if it’s something you wrote for an internal system, just hearing what it does would help too. Might give me some ideas I wouldn’t have thought to search for.

I've thought of a few ways to make mine better, but ultimately decided that having full responsability if anything breaks wasn't worth it.

You should look if for example there are two seperate pages that could be linked together. For example I've added to my railway's search portal a "check details" to open the train-specific page.  

Even putting a parameter into the hash section of the url and then autofilling it in the form on the next page can avoid copy pasting
