Data Analysis and Consultancy

Small business spreadsheets  |  Bookkeeping   |  Clear record-keeping  |  Forecasting  |  Large Excel datasets

Anchor 1
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."
