Power BI Consulting Services:
dashboards your leadership actually uses.

For finance and operations leaders who are tired of competing numbers and dashboards nobody opens. We start with the decisions your leadership needs to make, then build the data model and reports around them.

The problems we get called in to fix

These aren't software problems. They're alignment problems, and they get more expensive every quarter.

📋

Manual reporting every week

Hours lost to exports, copy-paste and Excel version chaos before every leadership meeting.

⚡

Numbers that don't match

Finance says one thing, operations says another. Nobody trusts the data, so nobody acts on it.

📊

Dashboards nobody opens

They were built and launched. Leadership looked once and went back to spreadsheets.

🎯

Metrics with no link to goals

Plenty of charts, but no clear line between the data and the decisions that move revenue and margin.

The Business Intelligence Blueprint™

Many Power BI projects stall because they start with the data instead of the decisions. The Blueprint fixes that. In 3–4 weeks we work top-down: business goals first, then the KPIs and questions that track them, then the data that supports them. You end with a plan your leadership agrees on and a fixed-price build quote.

  • Stakeholder survey & workshop

    Leadership and end users aligned on goals and priorities.

  • BI maturity baseline

    Your current state scored 1–5 across five areas, adapted from Microsoft's adoption roadmap for mid-size teams, with a target for each.

  • KPI dictionary with owners

    One agreed definition for every metric, and who owns it.

  • Data source map

    Every system and gap documented, plus a technical scan if you already run Power BI.

  • Opportunity matrix & wireframes

    Use cases ranked by value and effort, and dashboard mockups before anything is built.

  • Roadmap & fixed-price quote

    Phased plan and a fixed build price, walked through in a readout.

What every engagement delivers

🎯

Dashboards executives trust

KPIs tied to business goals and designed for the decision-maker. They answer the questions leadership asks every Monday.

🔗

One reconciled data model

ERP, CRM and operational data joined into one governed model (on a data warehouse when you need one), so finance and operations finally see the same number. Works with Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, NetSuite and more.

⚙️

Reporting that runs itself

Scheduled refreshes and alerts replace the weekly export-and-paste routine. No analyst scramble before meetings.

📚

Adoption built into delivery

Training, a written user playbook and post-launch office hours come standard, because an unused dashboard is a failed project.

The foundation most dashboard projects skip

When your numbers live in an ERP, a CRM, payroll and a few spreadsheets, Power BI on its own just shows the mess faster. So when a project needs it, we build a data warehouse first: one clean copy of your data, in your own Azure account, that every report reads from.

  • Every number ties back to your general ledger
  • Your systems sync automatically. No more exports.
  • You own all of it, with no lock-in

Every engagement is led by a senior consultant from the first call to launch, with Microsoft-certified specialists on the build and one point of contact the whole way through. No hand-off to someone you've never met.

Our approach is top-down: agree on the business goals, define the KPIs that track them, then connect only the data that supports them.

Questions before you book

What do your Power BI consulting services include? +
Strategy and KPI alignment, data model design, dashboard development, source system integration, automated refresh, security setup, user training and post-launch support. Larger projects start with the Business Intelligence Blueprint™ so the build is scoped to what leadership actually needs.
What happens after I request the free assessment? +
You pick a time on the calendar right after you submit the form. On the 30-minute Zoom call we walk through your current reporting, your top KPIs and where the numbers don't reconcile. Within one business day you get a one-page summary with the 2–3 fixes worth doing first. It's yours to keep whether or not we work together.
How much does Power BI consulting cost? +
The Blueprint is a fixed $7,500, and the fee is applied to your build if you start within 60 days. Builds are quoted as a fixed price from the Blueprint's roadmap. See our published prices. No hourly billing and no surprise change orders.
How long does a Power BI project take? +
The Blueprint takes 3–4 weeks. A Dashboard Accelerator runs 2–4 weeks, and enterprise rollouts typically run 6–12 weeks depending on the number of data sources and departments.
What if our data is messy or spread across systems? +
That's the usual starting point. The data source map in the Blueprint documents every system and gap, and the cleanup and integration work is built into the roadmap and price. Messy data isn't a blocker.
Will it work with our accounting system and other tools? +
Almost certainly. We connect Power BI to accounting and ERP systems (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Sage 300, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and GP), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), industry systems like Procore and Primavera P6, payroll (Gusto), and databases or files in SQL Server, Azure and SharePoint. If a system has a database, an API or a scheduled export, we can bring it in. We confirm the approach for each source in the Blueprint.
Do you only work with Dallas companies? +
No. We're based in Dallas and happy to meet on-site in DFW, but most engagements run remotely for mid-market teams across the US.
Do you provide training and ongoing support? +
Yes. Every project includes training, a written user playbook and post-launch office hours. For ongoing help, Managed BI gives you a named BI lead with monthly enhancements.
