Consulting
Data consulting that pays for itself in hours.
Power BI and Microsoft Fabric specialists helping UK businesses automate repetitive reporting, build trusted data foundations and upskill their teams.
Report automation
If someone on your team spends hours every week rebuilding the same spreadsheets, that is time you can get back. We audit your recurring reports, connect Power BI directly to your sources and rebuild them on a solid data model, so they refresh on a schedule with no manual steps.
From finance packs to operational KPIs and collections performance, we design reports people actually use.
What you get
- Reporting audit & automation roadmapEvery report listed, costed in hours and prioritised
- Star-schema data model & DAX measuresFast, consistent numbers across every report
- Interactive Power BI reportsDesigned for decisions, with drill-through and filters
- Scheduled refresh & secure sharingSet up in the Power BI Service with the right access
- Documentation & handover sessionSo your team can maintain and extend it
The outcome: the reports your business relies on, delivered on time, every time — without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
Microsoft Fabric data foundations
When data lives in a dozen systems and spreadsheets, every report becomes a reconciliation exercise. We use Microsoft Fabric to bring it together in one governed place: pipelines that load data automatically, a lakehouse or warehouse to store it, and shared semantic models that every report builds on.
What you get
- Architecture designSized for your data, team and Microsoft licensing
- Data pipelines & Dataflows Gen2Automated ingestion from your source systems
- Lakehouse or warehouse buildClean, modelled, query-ready data
- Shared semantic modelsOne definition of every KPI, reused everywhere
- Governance & access setupWorkspaces, roles and refresh monitoring
The outcome: a single source of truth that ends the arguments about whose numbers are right.
Team upskilling in Excel, SQL & Power BI
Most teams use a fraction of what their tools can do. Our training is hands-on and built around your own data and reports, so people practise on work they recognise and apply it the next morning. We start with a skills assessment and tailor the programme to each level.
What you get
- Skills assessmentA clear picture of where each person is today
- Tailored curriculumExcel, SQL, Power BI or a combined pathway
- Live, hands-on sessionsRemote or on-site across the UK
- Workbooks & practice filesBuilt on scenarios from your business
- Post-training supportFollow-up clinics to embed new habits
The outcome: a team that can answer its own questions, build its own reports and stop waiting on one overstretched analyst.
AI & prompt engineering for teams
AI assistants can draft formulas, explain data, write SQL and summarise findings in seconds — when people know how to ask. We teach practical, responsible use of tools such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude, with prompt techniques matched to everyday analysis and admin tasks.
What you get
- AI awareness workshopWhat AI is good at, where it fails, and how to check it
- Prompt engineering masterclassProven structures for reliable, repeatable results
- Role-specific prompt libraryReady-to-use prompts for your team's real tasks
- Responsible-use guidelinesPractical rules on data privacy and verification
The outcome: people who use AI confidently to work faster, without putting your data or reputation at risk.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do we need Microsoft Fabric, or is Power BI enough?
Many businesses get large gains from Power BI alone. Fabric makes sense when you have several data sources, larger volumes, or want a governed central store. We'll recommend the simplest option that meets your needs during discovery.
How long does a typical automation project take?
It depends on the number of reports and data sources. A focused project automating a handful of core reports often takes a few weeks; we'll give you a timeline with the roadmap.
Can you work with our existing data and systems?
Yes. Power BI connects to most databases, cloud apps, SharePoint and Excel files. We work with what you have and only suggest changes where they clearly pay off.
Is training delivered remotely or on-site?
Both. Most sessions run live online, and we can deliver on-site for teams in the UK.
How do you handle data security?
We work inside your own Microsoft environment with the access you grant, follow UK GDPR principles, and avoid copying data outside your systems.
