For Owner-Led businessesFreelance Power BI consultant

Make confident decisions from one trusted view of your business in 30 days.

I bring together data from the tools your business already uses. Then I build a Power BI reporting system around the questions you need answered, so you can see what’s happening and make decisions with confidence.

Sound familiar?

Your business runs on different systems. But when it’s time to make a decision, you’re left piecing the numbers together.

01

Simple questions shouldn’t take hours to answer.

Can you afford another hire? Are margins improving? Is cash keeping up with sales? Each system shows part of the picture, leaving you without a clear answer.

02

The numbers don’t always agree.

Sales reports one revenue figure. Finance reports another. Before you can decide what to do, you have to work out which number to trust.

03

You’re spending time finding numbers when you could be running the business.

Exporting reports, combining spreadsheets and chasing updates keep pulling you away from customers, your team and growing the business.

04

You can see activity, but struggle to see performance.

Sales are coming in and your team is busy. But are margins improving? Is cash keeping up? Which parts of the business need attention? The answers sit across different reports.

05

You want to use AI, but don’t trust the answers yet.

You want to ask questions about your business and get useful answers. But when your systems hold incomplete data or conflicting figures, you still have to check every response. You need trusted, consistent numbers underneath before you can confidently act on what AI tells you.

06

Problems become clear later than they should.

By the time the reports come together, costs have climbed, payments are overdue or performance has slipped. You need a clearer view while there’s still time to act.

From a reporting problem to a clearer way to run the business

Different industries, same principle: start with the management question, connect the right data, then build reporting that shows what is happening, where to look, and why it is happening.

Cosmetics brand real-time inventory and performance reporting system
Retail · Inventory performance

From hours of manual pulls to stock visibility updated hourly

The team spent hours each day pulling inventory reports. I connected Power BI to the inventory platform’s API, replacing those manual pulls with hourly updates. They now have that time back to review stock, plan reorders and make inventory decisions.

Residential real estate · Sales visibility

From separate pipeline numbers to one view of sales performance

Pipeline, lead sources and closing performance were reported separately. I brought them into one sales view so management could spend less time piecing together the funnel and more time identifying stalled opportunities, assessing lead sources and deciding where the sales team should focus.

Invoice tracking reporting system showing outstanding balances and aging
Healthcare clinic · Invoice visibility

From checking the accounting system manually to knowing what is outstanding

A cardiac clinic in Panama repeatedly checked its accounting software to identify unpaid invoices. I built a connected view of outstanding balances and aging, reducing the work needed to establish who owed what. The team can focus on following up overdue payments rather than preparing the list.

Cleaning and restoration performance tracking reporting system
Cleaning & restoration · Performance and commissions

From Monday reporting work to a clear view of business performance

Every Monday, someone had to export data from DASH and piece together reports in Excel. The work was tedious and inconsistent, with limited visibility into how performance compared with previous weeks or the same period last year.

I built a scheduled email pipeline to bring DASH data into Power BI, then created a performance dashboard with historical comparisons, team commission calculations and checks that flag missing inputs for correction.

Management now spends less time preparing reports and more time using them to run the business, with a clear view of performance, commissions and data issues that need attention.

Skincare brand RFM customer segmentation reporting system
Skincare brand · Customer behaviour

From sales totals to knowing which customers need attention

The brand could see sales totals but couldn’t clearly distinguish customer buying patterns. I built segments based on purchase recency, frequency and value, removing the need to work through sales records to identify customer groups. The team can focus on which customers to retain, reactivate or develop, with a clear basis for targeting each group.

Meet Royce

I’ve sat on your side of the table.

For eleven years, I was the person people waited on for the insights. My career took me from microfinance in Cameroon to furniture retail, healthcare and health insurance in Bahrain. Every company was different, but the pattern kept repeating: the data existed, decisions were waiting on it, and somebody had to pull it together. Usually, that somebody was me.

I know what it’s like to be responsible for an answer when the numbers are spread across different systems. To check the figures before presenting them to management. To explain what changed, why it matters and what needs attention.

When I started working with clients through Blueribbon Analytics, their problems felt familiar, even in industries I’d never worked in. A distributor planning reorders in spreadsheets. A joint venture trying to split costs fairly. A business owner trying to understand whether growth was translating into profit.

Today, I bring that finance and operations experience to every reporting system I build. It helps me ask better questions, spot gaps and understand what the numbers need to tell you. You work directly with me, from understanding the problem to getting reporting you can use with confidence.

Questions

Questions you might have

What to expect before, during and after working together.

01Is Blueribbon a good fit for my business?

If your business uses several systems and getting a clear picture means combining reports, checking spreadsheets or chasing updates, I can help. I work with owners and business leaders who need reporting they can trust to manage performance and make decisions.

02Can you work with the systems we already use?

In many cases, yes. I connect data from accounting software, CRMs, operations platforms, spreadsheets and other business tools. During discovery, I check how your data can be accessed and explain any limitations before we commit to the build.

03What if we already have Power BI reports?

You don’t necessarily need to start again. I can review your existing setup to understand what works, what’s missing and why the reporting isn’t meeting your needs. That could mean improving the reports, fixing the underlying data or rebuilding parts of the system.

04Does our data need to be perfectly organised first?

No. Cleaning and organising data is often part of the work. I’ll identify gaps, inconsistent records and other issues that affect reporting. Where something needs correcting in your day-to-day processes, I’ll explain what needs to change and why.

05How long does a project take?

The core reporting system is typically built in 30 days. Timing depends on the scope, access to your systems and how quickly we can review things together. We agree on the timeline before the build starts.

06What will you need from me and my team?

Someone who understands the business, access to the relevant data and time for feedback at key checkpoints. You bring the context behind the numbers. I handle the connections, data preparation and reporting build.

07How much does it cost, and how do payments work?

Projects start at $2,500, with a fixed price based on your data sources and reporting needs. Payments are split into milestones: 40% to begin, 40% after the core system is built and demonstrated, and 20% at launch. Ongoing management is priced separately.

08Are there software costs beyond your fee?

There may be Power BI licences and cloud hosting costs, depending on your setup. I explain what’s needed and the expected running costs in the proposal, so you can assess the full investment before proceeding.

09How will we know the numbers are right?

I check the report figures against your source systems and review key calculations with you. We agree on what each metric means and investigate differences before launch, so you understand what the reports show and can trust how the numbers are calculated.

10Will my team need technical skills to use the reports?

No technical background is needed for everyday use. I build around how your team needs to view the business, then walk them through filtering, exploring the numbers and finding answers. Documentation is included for future reference.

11Who owns the system, and how is our data protected?

Your business owns the reporting system and its data. Wherever practical, I build within accounts you control, with access limited to what’s needed for the work. We agree on access and security arrangements before starting, and I can sign an NDA.

12What happens after launch?

You can choose ongoing management so I continue monitoring refreshes, resolving issues and improving the reporting as your business changes. If your team will manage it internally, I provide the documentation and handover needed to take it forward.
