Fractional Analytics Leadership
for SMEs
& Scale-ups
Senior analytics direction to clean up KPIs, automate reporting and build reliable dashboards — without hiring a full-time Head of Data.
Your reporting should not depend on fragile spreadsheets.
Most growing businesses have accumulated years of manual workarounds. The result is reporting that nobody fully trusts, KPIs that nobody owns, and analytics capacity that doesn't scale with the business.
Fragile Excel files
Critical reports live in spreadsheets that break the moment someone edits a formula or changes a tab name.
Untrusted Power BI dashboards
Your dashboards exist but leadership doesn't trust the numbers — and nobody can explain the discrepancies.
Different numbers across teams
Finance says one thing, operations says another, and sales has a third version. No single source of truth.
Manual monthly reporting
Your analyst spends a week every month copy-pasting data into slides instead of generating insights.
No KPI ownership
Everyone tracks different metrics. There's no agreed definition, no accountability, and no consistent baseline.
AI ideas with no roadmap
You've seen the potential of data and AI but have no clear, practical path to get there from where you are.
Four pillars of a
reliable analytics system
Each engagement is scoped to what your business actually needs — no bloated retainers, no generic frameworks.
Executive KPIs
Define, align and implement the metrics that actually matter to leadership — with clear ownership, consistent definitions and a single source of truth.
Reliable BI
Build and stabilize Power BI, Looker or Tableau environments your team can trust. Clean data models, governed layers, maintained documentation.
Reporting Automation
Eliminate the manual monthly crunch. Automate data pipelines, scheduled reports and operational dashboards so insights arrive automatically.
Data & AI Roadmap
A practical, sequenced roadmap for data maturity and AI adoption — grounded in your actual operations, not vendor demos or hype.
Three ways to engage
From a focused diagnostic to embedded fractional leadership. Each option is designed to deliver measurable value without long-term lock-in.
Analytics Diagnostic
A structured assessment of your current reporting, KPIs and data infrastructure. You receive a prioritized action plan with clear next steps — no implementation required to get started.
- Current-state data audit
- KPI gap analysis
- Dashboard & tooling review
- Prioritized recommendations
- Executive summary report
BI & Automation Sprint
Focused delivery of a defined analytics outcome — a trusted dashboard, an automated pipeline, or a clean KPI framework. Scoped precisely, delivered on time.
- Scoped deliverable definition
- Data model & pipeline build
- BI development & validation
- Reporting automation setup
- Team handoff & documentation

- Monthly strategy & planning sessions
- KPI governance & ownership
- Ongoing dashboard management
- Data & AI roadmap execution
- On-demand advisory access
A structured path from
scattered data to reliable insight
Understand what exists and what's broken
Audit current data sources, reporting flows, tool stack and team workflows. Map KPIs, identify gaps and surface the highest-leverage opportunities for improvement.
Establish a reliable foundation
Fix data quality issues, align metric definitions across teams and stand up the core infrastructure needed for trustworthy reporting. Leadership starts seeing numbers they can rely on.
Remove manual effort from the reporting cycle
Build automated pipelines and scheduled reports that eliminate the manual monthly crunch. Your team stops extracting data and starts using it.
Embed analytics into how decisions are made
Governance, ownership and a forward-looking data & AI roadmap — so analytics becomes a durable capability, not a one-time project.
