The miter trimmer is a classic hand-powered tool for picture framers and trim carpenters that has remained relatively unchanged for decades. Although it’s probably not the first tool on most lists of must-haves, I find mine to be indispensable.

A couple of things: First of all, you might want to consider getting your miter saw to make good cuts in the first place. Get a GOOD 80 to 100 tooth blade that's made for framing (Look up Quinn Saw). You might consider investing in a miter scale bed for your saw as well.
