I've run finance, procurement and operations across the full business cycle. Power BI is how I make visible what I already understand. That's why the dashboards I build actually get used.
Book a free 30-minute callThree ways to work together, depending on what you need and how quickly you need it.
A complete Power BI dashboard from requirements through to deployment. Spend analytics, supplier scorecards, compliance tracking, cost savings funnels. Built to answer the questions your team is actually asking. Delivered in 2–4 weeks.
A focused audit of your existing reports and data model. I'll review your DAX, semantic model, refresh setup and usability, then deliver a prioritised list of improvements ranked by impact. Ideal if you've inherited someone else's work.
For larger projects: Microsoft Fabric migration, Power Automate workflows, Power BI with Azure-connected data sources, or procurement analytics strategy. Minimum 2 days. Available evenings and weekends.
Anonymised examples from the type of work I do. Every project is different, but the pattern is the same: unclear data in, clear decisions out.
Procurement leadership had no single view of spend across categories and regions. Reporting was manual, quarterly and always out of date. Category managers were making sourcing decisions on gut feel.
A live Power BI dashboard with drill-through from category to supplier to PO level. Automated daily refresh via dataflows. Period-over-period comparisons built in. Leadership now reviews spend weekly instead of quarterly.
Compliance data lived in spreadsheets, emails and people's heads. No way to see which suppliers had responded to solicitations, which were overdue, or where the risk sat. Audit readiness was a scramble every time.
An integrated compliance dashboard with automated supplier solicitation tracking, response rate KPIs tiered by supplier criticality and a risk heat map. Reduced audit prep from weeks to hours.
The savings pipeline was tracked in a shared spreadsheet with no audit trail. Nobody agreed on the numbers. Finance and procurement had different definitions of "realised." Reporting to senior leadership was a recurring argument.
A structured savings funnel in Power BI with agreed stage definitions, automated data capture and a single source of truth. Clear pipeline visibility from identified through to realised, with finance sign-off built into the workflow.
I understand business from sales through to procurement via finance. I've managed accounts to trial balance for an £18M business as Administration Director and Company Secretary. I've run global procurement operations for a Fortune 500 manufacturer. I've built savings programmes, compliance campaigns and supplier performance frameworks. The tools came later. The understanding came first.
That's what makes me different from most Power BI consultants. I don't start with the data model. I start with the business question. What decision are you trying to make? What would you need to see to make it with confidence? The dashboard is just the last step in that thinking.
Most Power BI freelancers will build whatever you ask for. I'll tell you what you should be asking for. That's the difference between a report that gets opened once and one your team uses every day.
I work with Microsoft Fabric, Power Automate and Python alongside Power BI, so if your problem needs more than a dashboard, I can build the pipeline behind it too.
