Analytics that turns your numbers into decisions

I bring your sales, finance and operations data into one place, automate the reports that are still built by hand, and build dashboards that give management a clear picture every day.

How I can help

Every engagement ends with a measurable result: a working dashboard, a model or an automated process.

  • Dashboards and BI reporting

    Sales, finance and operations metrics in one dashboard. Management sees refreshed numbers every morning instead of hunting for files.

    Tools: Power BI, Looker Studio

  • Financial analysis and modelling

    Cash flow, profit and loss, budget vs. actual and forecast models, so you can see the scenarios before you decide.

    Tools: Excel, Python

  • Report automation

    I turn Excel reports that are assembled by hand every month into an automated process. Your team spends its time on analysis, not on reporting.

    Tools: Power Query, SQL, Python

  • Data audit and cleanup

    I find mismatches between systems, remove duplicate and incorrect records, and build a single database you can rely on.

    Tools: SQL, PostgreSQL, 1C

  • Training and advisory

    I teach your team to build and update their own reports, and we set the rules for analytical work together.

    Tools: Excel, Power BI

  4. Handover and support

    I train your team, hand over the documentation and stay available during the first months.

About

I'm [Ad Soyad], a data and financial analyst. For [X] years I have been helping companies make decisions based on their accounting, sales and operations data.

My main principle is simple: a report only creates value when it is read and acted on. That is why I build every dashboard together with the people who will use it.
