Power BI dashboards for small and mid-sized businesses
I build Power BI reports from Excel, QuickBooks, SharePoint or SQL, checked against finance. Fixed price, agreed before I start.
Who it's for
Companies of roughly 10 to 200 staff on Microsoft 365, usually with no BI team. Typical first projects:
- Month end numbers come from three exports and an afternoon of copy and paste.
- The dashboard total doesn't match the general ledger.
- A Power BI report exists, but the refresh fails and nobody knows why.
- QuickBooks Online data has to get into Power BI now that the built-in connector is gone.
What you get
- A data model
- Tables that join the right way, measures defined once, and names your team will recognize.
- The report
- The pages you asked for, each built around a decision someone makes with it.
- Scheduled refresh
- Set up in your Power BI service and tested, with failure emails going to someone on your side.
- Handover notes
- Where each number comes from, how to add a month or a new account, and what to check if a refresh fails.
Everything is built in your tenant, and you own all of it.
Dashboard work you can inspect
Two portfolio dashboards with methods and limits published. Neither was built in Power BI, but both show how I model data and check it.
- Manufacturing Intelligence Platform Portfolio project, synthetic data
- An executive dashboard on a 35.3 million row star schema, with row counts, foreign key checks and yield reconciliation next to the charts.
- Grid Intelligence Portfolio project, public data
- A day-ahead demand forecast scored against the EIA's published forecast: 5.49% error versus 8.30% on a rolling comparison. The result changes as the window moves.
What it costs
Most dashboards start at $1,500, quoted after a look at your data. Smaller jobs are $85 an hour against a cap. Licenses and gateways: see pricing.
Questions
Can you fix an existing report?
Yes, and it's often the better first project. I fix the model before the visuals. If it needs a rebuild, you hear that first.
