Services
I provide practical data support for small businesses that need their data to work properly, without unnecessary complexity or over-engineering.
Most of my work falls into a small number of common service areas. Each engagement is flexible and tailored to the specific problem you are trying to solve.
Data transformation
Data often needs to be reshaped, restructured, or combined before it can be used effectively. This might involve merging multiple data sources, reorganising tables, or converting data into a format required by another system or process.
I help transform data into a structure that makes sense, supports reporting or analysis, and fits its intended purpose.

Data cleansing
Poor data quality leads to errors, wasted time, and a lack of confidence in reporting. Common issues include duplicates, inconsistent formatting, missing values, and basic data entry problems.
I clean and standardise data so it is consistent, reliable, and ready to be used for analysis, reporting, or onward processing.

Excel support, fixes and enhancements
As spreadsheets grow over time, formulas break, logic becomes unclear, and small changes can have unexpected knock-on effects.
I diagnose and fix broken formulas, pivot tables, and data logic, and improve existing spreadsheets so they are easier to understand, maintain, and trust.

Data profiling
Before data can be trusted or improved, it needs to be understood. Data profiling helps identify patterns, inconsistencies, gaps, and potential quality issues within a dataset.
I analyse datasets to provide a clear picture of their structure, content, and quality, helping you make informed decisions about next steps.

How I work
I keep things straightforward and transparent. We start with a short discussion to understand the problem, agree the scope, and confirm timescales and costs before any work begins.
My aim is always to leave you with something that is clear, maintainable, and fit for purpose.
