Data Analysis and Consultancy
Small business spreadsheets | Bookkeeping | Clear record-keeping | Forecasting | Large Excel datasets
Why?
Ever known you need more insight about what's bringing your business good returns and what isn't, but not sure where to start?
​
Have you ever entered figures into an Excel spreadsheet and then used your calculator??!
​
Ever spent hours on repetitive or clunky calculations and wondered whether someone could speed this up for you?
​
Perhaps you are a Virtual Assistant and your client needs data support that is outside of your skill set?
​
" I love Excel! And I love saving you loads of time, adding value to your small business and making your data and finance processes effective and efficient. "
​
Most small businesses wouldn't need to commit to employing technical data expertise on a permanent basis... hiring me for freelance work keeps your overheads low and gives you a boost of insight that can help you take your business to the next level.
How?
You have a FREE discussion with me so I can get clear on:
​
- what the current data situation is
- what your goal is
- what budget you are working to
- what timescale you're working to
​
This will usually take about 30 minutes
​
I outline what further discussions are needed and my recommendation, and we come to a formal agreement about the project & fee.
​
I work remotely or come in to your place of work.*
​
You receive a solution that is easy for you to maintain yourself, or we decide whether I will help you to maintain it ongoing.

Not only that but when I'm stuck she coaches me to reach the heart of the issue and break it up in a manageable way. I cannot recommend her enough. It will be some of the best money your business has spent, no matter what size you are."
